Air Density Separator Global Market Report 2025

Description

An air density separator is a device used in various industries to separate particles or materials based on their density using an airflow. This equipment helps improve the efficiency and quality of the final product by ensuring that materials with different densities are properly separated.

The primary types of air density separators are small and large. Small-size air density separators are compact units designed to sort and separate lighter materials from heavier ones using air flow in confined spaces. These separators are available through direct sales and distribution channels and are used in applications such as recycling and waste processing, chemicals, food and beverages, minerals and mining, and agriculture.

The air density separators market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides air density separators market statistics, including air density separators industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a air density separators market share, detailed air density separators market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the air density separators industry. This air density separators market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The air density separator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.2 billion in 2024 to $1.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing industrialization, growth of the food processing sector, increasing investments in material recovery facilities, rise in industrial waste generation, and rise in the number of waste processing plants.

The air density separator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.6 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing awareness of sustainable practices, growing threat of micro-plastic pollution, increasing use in the agriculture sector, growing focus on metal recycling, and rising e-waste generation. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, integration of AI, mobile air density separator units, rental models, and high-throughput separation systems.

The increasing use of air-density separators in recycling operations is expected to drive the growth of the air-density separator market in the coming years. Recycling involves converting waste materials into new products to prevent the loss of potentially useful resources. The rising demand for recycling is primarily due to growing awareness of environmental sustainability and the need to minimize waste. Air density separators are essential for efficiently separating materials of varying densities, ensuring clean and high-quality streams of recyclables for further processing. For instance, in March 2024, a report from the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), a Switzerland-based international training and capacity-building organization, revealed that the documented collection and recycling rate of e-waste was 22.3% in 2022. The report also highlights that if countries could boost e-waste collection and recycling rates to 60% by 2030, the associated benefits-such as reducing human health risks-would exceed the costs by over $38 billion. Therefore, the growing application of air-density separators in recycling operations is propelling market growth.

Leading companies in the air density separator market are focusing on advanced technologies such as the De-Stoner Air Classifier to improve material separation efficiency. The De-Stoner Air Classifier separates materials based on density using a combination of vibration and air classification. For example, in 2023, General Kinematics, a U.S.-based manufacturer of vibratory equipment, introduced the De-Stoner Air Classifier. This model features a two-mass design that reduces energy consumption while increasing processing capacity. It is versatile enough to handle various materials, capable of achieving two to five-fraction separations, and includes jam-resistant technology to ensure continuous operation. The De-Stoner also uses fluidization and air knives for optimal stratification and separation of light and heavy materials, making it especially effective for recycling and waste management applications.

In September 2023, Hillenbrand Inc., a US-based industrial firm, acquired Schenck Process's Food and Performance Materials business from Schenck Process Group for $730 million. This acquisition is intended to enhance Hillenbrand's presence in the food, durable plastics, and chemicals markets by integrating complementary technologies and broadening its product range. Schenck Process, a Germany-based industrial machinery manufacturer, specializes in air-density separators.
