The growth of the air compressor filter and compressed air dryer market is anticipated to be driven by rapid industrialization in the future. Industrialization is the process through which an economy transitions from being primarily agricultural to one focused on manufacturing goods. As industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and construction continue to grow, the demand for clean and dry compressed air for various applications has become essential. This increasing demand for air compressor filters and compressed air dryers is vital for the efficient and safe operation of equipment and machinery. For example, a report released in July 2023 by Statistics Canada, a government agency based in Canada, revealed that approximately 19.5% of businesses in the manufacturing sector intended to expand their current business or organizational location within the next 12 months. This figure is more than double the percentage seen in the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector (8.2%) and nearly triple the overall business average (6.7%). Nearly 9.0% of manufacturing businesses planned to expand to other locations within the same province, a statistic similar to those in administrative and support, waste management, and remediation services (9.1%). Furthermore, over 5.5% of manufacturing businesses had plans for international expansion, with comparable ambitions reported by 5.3% of businesses in arts, entertainment, and recreation, and 4.5% in wholesale trade. Consequently, the rise in industrialization is propelling the growth of the air compressor filter and compressed air dryer markets.
Major companies in the air compressor filter and compressed air dryer market are creating innovative products, such as desiccant air dryers, to achieve highly efficient moisture removal. A desiccant air dryer is a device that eliminates moisture from compressed air by utilizing desiccant materials to adsorb water vapor, ensuring dry air for industrial applications. For example, in June 2023, Tsunami, a US-based provider of compressed air filtration and drying solutions, introduced the CORE Series Desiccant Dryer. This manual change desiccant air dryer is specifically designed for the automotive and professional coatings industries, featuring a spring-loaded, cartridge-style desiccant canister that prevents dusting and media tunneling. The CORE Series dryers stand out due to their ease of maintenance, quick installation, and dual-layered desiccant media, providing superior performance compared to other models available in the market.
In February 2024, Ingersoll Rand Inc., a US-based provider of flow creation and industrial products, completed the acquisition of Friulair S.r.l. for $146 million.
