The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the growth of industrialization and manufacturing, a construction boom, expansion in the automotive industry, concerns about energy efficiency, and the increasing demand for maintenance and repair services.

The stationary air compressor market size is expected to see marginal growth in the next few years. It will grow to $61.36 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of renewable energy projects, growth in e-commerce and logistics, a heightened focus on sustainable practices, urbanization, infrastructure development, and advancements in materials and design. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period include technological integration, continued technological advancements, an emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability, the integration of smart technologies, and the digitalization of operations.

The anticipated rise in demand from the manufacturing sector is poised to drive the growth of the stationary air compressor market. Integral to the economy, the manufacturing sector engages in the conversion of raw materials into finished products for consumers or other industries. Within this sector, stationary air compressors play a crucial role by providing a reliable source of compressed air for various industrial applications. Distinguished from portable counterparts, stationary air compressors are designed to generate and store compressed air at a significantly higher capacity. A notable statistic from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2021 Annual Survey of Manufactures revealed a 16.8% increase in the value of shipments within the U.S. manufacturing sector from 2020 to 2021, reaching $6.1 trillion. Consequently, the escalating demand from the manufacturing sector emerges as a key driver for the growth of the stationary air compressor market.

The surging demand from the oil and gas industries is anticipated to propel the growth of the stationary air compressor market in the foreseeable future. The oil and gas sector, a crucial component of the energy industry, encompasses diverse activities spanning exploration, extraction, production, refining, and distribution of petroleum products and natural gas. In this industry, stationary air compressors assume a pivotal role in optimizing operational efficiency and safety by providing a dependable source of compressed air. This not only contributes to safety measures but also yields efficiency gains that positively impact operational costs and environmental considerations. A noteworthy indicator is the U.S.'s consumption of an average of 86.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2022, marking the highest annual consumption in comparison to the previous year, as reported by the Energy Information Administration. Therefore, the growing demand from oil and gas industries serves as a significant driver for the stationary air compressor market.

The hindrance to the growth of the stationary air compressor market is expected to stem from the lack of availability of raw materials. The production of stationary air compressors relies on various raw materials such as stainless steel, raw steel, metal components, cooling systems, and air filters. The decrease in steel production poses a potential impact on the availability and cost of these essential raw materials. For instance, the American Iron and Steel Institute reported a 6.2% decrease in U.S. raw steel production to 94.7 million net tons in 2022 compared to the previous year. Consequently, the shortage of raw materials is identified as a key factor impeding the growth of the stationary air compressor market.

Major companies engaged in the stationary air compressor market are strategically forming partnerships to expand their customer base, increase sales, and augment revenue. An illustrative example is the collaboration between Power Equipment Direct, a U.S.-based e-commerce company, and ABAC Air Compressors, a U.S.-based air compressor manufacturing company. This partnership aims to provide high-quality products to customers, leverage ABAC's innovative integrated block technology, and enhance air compressor development. Additionally, in a partnership forged in December 2021, Sullair LLC, a U.K.-based manufacturing company, and Altorfer Rents, a U.S.-based industrial air compressor equipment and tool rental provider, seek to address the rising demand for compressed air solutions in the construction industry while expanding their distribution network.

In May 2022, NOVAIR, based in Paris, acquired America Energy, a U.S.-based manufacturer of air compressors and medical gas systems. This acquisition positions NOVAIR to better serve the North American market by adding U.S.-manufactured compressed air and vacuum systems, compliant with U.S. standards, to its existing offerings. The move also enhances NOVAIR's engineering capabilities, contributing to the overall growth strategy.
