Rotary Lobe Compressor Market Report 2026

The rotary lobe compressor market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.82 billion in 2025 to $1.89 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial air compression demand growth, expansion of wastewater treatment infrastructure, adoption of positive displacement compressors, growth in chemical processing activities, need for continuous airflow solutions.

The rotary lobe compressor market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in water and wastewater treatment, rising focus on energy efficiency regulations, expansion of pneumatic conveying systems, adoption of smart industrial equipment, growth in industrial manufacturing output. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of oil free rotary lobe compressors, growing demand for energy efficient air compression, increasing use in wastewater treatment applications, expansion of portable rotary lobe compressor deployments, integration of smart monitoring and control features.

The rapid industrialization process is expected to drive the growth of the rotary lobe compressor market in the future. Industrialization refers to the transformation of an economy from primarily agricultural to one based on manufacturing, technology, and large-scale production. This shift is accelerated by technological progress, economic expansion, urbanization, and the increasing global demand for manufactured products. Rotary lobe compressors play a crucial role in industrial applications by providing reliable, efficient, and continuous compression of gases in processes such as air handling, vacuum systems, and material handling. For instance, in August 2023, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union (EU), reported that industrial production in the euro area and the EU rose by 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, in June 2023 compared to May 2023. As a result, the rapid industrialization process is driving the growth of the rotary lobe compressor market.

Leading companies in the rotary lobe compressor market are focusing on innovation by developing products such as rotary lobe pumps to enhance their product portfolios, improve efficiency, and meet the evolving needs of various industries. A rotary lobe pump is a specialized type of rotary lobe compressor that efficiently transfers liquids using the same reliable positive displacement mechanism. For instance, in February 2025, Vogelsang USA, a US-based industrial pump manufacturer, launched the EP Series of rotary lobe pumps, designed for industrial pumping applications, including those in the sugar production industry. This series is known for its ability to operate under extreme conditions and withstand constant high pressures, making it ideal for demanding environments. The pumps are equipped with a heavy-duty gearbox that ensures a uniform pressure output of up to 260 psi (18 bar), a performance level unmatched within its category. Additionally, the pumps feature an AirGap, which separates the gearbox from the pump chamber, ensuring that in the event of a leak, any liquid drains outside rather than into the gearbox. This design enhances operational reliability and protects the gearbox when handling high-temperature media.

In June 2023, Ingersoll Rand Inc., a US-based manufacturer of air and gas compressors, acquired Howden Roots LLC from Chart Industries Inc. for $300 million. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Ingersoll Rand’s portfolio in blower and centrifugal compressor technologies, with a focus on improving operational efficiency and expanding market reach. Howden Roots LLC, based in the US, is a provider of blower and compressor solutions.
