Compressors Global Market Report 2025

A compressor is a device that generates power by raising the pressure of a substance while decreasing its volume. These devices are utilized for both industrial and residential purposes. They facilitate the effective transfer and use of energy in industrial operations and common household appliances.

The primary types of compressors include air compressors and gas compressors. Air compressors are mechanical devices that convert power from sources such as electric motors, gasoline engines, or diesel engines into compressed air. They are classified into positive displacement and centrifugal types, with power ratings ranging from 0-100 kW, 101-300 kW, 301-500 kW, and 500 kW and above. These compressors find applications in diverse industries such as industrial manufacturing, oil and gas, automotive, HVAC-R, food and beverage, power, construction, chemical and cement, and textile.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.

The compressors market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides compressors market statistics, including compressors industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a compressors market share, detailed compressors market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the compressors industry. This compressors 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 compressors market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $109.61 billion in 2024 to $112.65 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, innovative manufacturing infrastructure of modern systems, increased automobile production, and a growing number of food processing units.

The compressors market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $125.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government support, rapid industrialization, an increasing demand for energy-efficient air compressors, and rising demand for oil-free compressors in the food and beverage industry. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on innovative product launches, mergers and acquisitions, oil-free screw compressors, technology advancements, partnerships and collaborations, new facility expansions, increasing investments, and rotary screw compressors.

The forecast of 2.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher prices for scroll compressors and refrigeration-grade components, sourced from key regions such as China, Italy, and Mexico, increasing costs for HVAC and refrigeration system manufacturers. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The expansion of compressors' applications within the power industry stands out as a significant driver for the compressors market. This surge is primarily a response to the escalating global population, leading to heightened electricity and power resource demands for everyday operations. To address this need, companies within the compressors market are actively providing compressors tailored for power industry applications. Notable manufacturers such as Atlas CopCo., MAN Turbo, and Gardner Denver are among those offering compressors specifically designed for power generation purposes.

Anticipated growth within the automotive industry is set to invigorate the compressor market in the foreseeable future. The automotive sector encompasses a broad spectrum of organizations engaged in vehicle design, development, manufacturing, sales, and upkeep. Compressors play a pivotal role in automotive engines, enhancing performance through devices such as superchargers and turbochargers, which effectively boost air intake into the engine's combustion chamber. For instance, according to a report released by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) in May 2023, global motor vehicle production surged to 85.4 million in 2022, marking a 5.7% increase from the previous year. Additionally, the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers reported a total production of 85,016,728 cars and commercial vehicles in 2022, up from 80,145,988 in 2021. Hence, the burgeoning automotive industry is a significant driver propelling growth within the compressor market.

The compressors market is witnessing a crucial trend with the emergence of next-generation air compressors that prioritize energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. These advanced compressors exhibit notably reduced carbon emissions compared to traditional models, aligning with sustainable practices. A prime illustration is the collaboration between Kirloskar Pneumatic Co Ltd and Top Tag Trading Est (3T Group), culminating in the launch of a diesel portable compressor. This next-generation equipment prioritizes high power efficiency while boasting a cost-effective ownership model. Meanwhile, industry frontrunner Atlas Copco has introduced the GA VSD+ compressor, effectively slashing energy consumption by an impressive 50%. Likewise, market players such as Hitachi and Ingersoll Rand are actively developing power-efficient and low-maintenance air compressors, underscoring the market's shift towards environmentally conscious innovations.

Prominent entities in the compressor market are strategically introducing innovative compressor models such as the GA+ and GA next-generation compressors to drive market revenues. These smart industrial air compressors, such as the next-generation GA and GA+ fixed-speed models, promise enhanced performance, energy savings, reliability, and connectivity, particularly tailored for mid-size, fixed-speed industrial requirements. Atlas Copco's recent launch in February 2023 exemplifies this trend, showcasing the GA+ models equipped with a Smart Unload algorithm that monitors real-time pressure, optimizing unloading timings for substantial energy conservation. Notably, these new compressors outperform their predecessors by delivering increased air capacity while significantly reducing energy costs. Additionally, innovative hybrid bearing technology extends the drivetrain's lifespan by an impressive 33%, ensuring longer-lasting and efficient operations.

In February 2022, MR Organization (MRO) Limited, an Indian-based manufacturer, supplier, and comprehensive provider of compressed air equipment, components, and kits, completed the acquisition of Standard Air Limited (Standard Air), a UK-based compressor company, for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition provides MRO with vital growth opportunities and global reach, underscoring the company's ongoing success.
