Rotary Lobe Compressor Market Report 2025

The rotary lobe compressor market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.76 billion in 2024 to $1.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the rise in industrial automation, increasing demand for energy-efficient systems, expansion of the automotive sector, growth of the manufacturing industry, and rising demand for air compressors.

The rotary lobe compressor market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by rising energy costs, increasing demand for compressed air systems, rapid industrialization, a greater focus on reducing carbon emissions, and the need for reliable performance. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in rotary compressor technology, the integration of IoT in industrial machinery, the adoption of variable speed drive compressors, the use of smart sensors for predictive maintenance, and a focus on noise reduction technology.

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.

Rotary lobe compressors are positive displacement compressors that utilize two intermeshing lobed rotors to trap and compress air or gas. They function without internal contact between the rotors, ensuring smooth and continuous airflow with minimal vibration. Known for their high efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and ability to handle various gases, they are widely used in applications such as wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, chemical processing, and industrial manufacturing.

The primary types of rotary lobe compressors include stationary lobe compressors and portable lobe compressors. A stationary lobe compressor is a positive displacement compressor in which the rotor lobes remain fixed, compressing air or gas between the lobes and the housing to generate pressure. These compressors operate within different pressure ranges, including low, medium, and high pressure. They are extensively used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and wastewater treatment, serving end-user sectors such as oil and gas, mining, construction, agriculture, and energy.
