Reciprocating Air Compressor Market – Growth Drivers, Opportunities and Forecast Analysis

The reciprocating air compressor market is expected to witness substantial growth by 2027 driven by the rising focus of manufacturers on product innovation. Additionally, escalating demand for more energy-efficient compressors across diverse end-use verticals is estimated to further support market demand across the globe.
Reciprocating air compressors or piston compressors leverage the principle of reciprocation. These compressors are positive displacement equipment, i.e., they increase the pressure in air to compress it. Recently, with the integration of advanced technologies, reciprocating air compressors are progressively becoming more efficient and quieter.
Compared to rotary compressors, reciprocating air compressors require 5-10% less energy for pumping the same amount of air, which leads to reduced energy expenditure. Other advantages of these compressors include higher efficiencies, higher pressure generation, flexibility of use, and the efficiency of application in intermittent cycling. These advantages have bolstered the utilization of reciprocating air compressors in various industries, which has favorably affected product outlook.
Moreover, industry leaders are pioneering innovative products to accommodate emerging consumer demands, thereby driving market adoption across diverse sectors. For instance, in January 2021, Ingersoll Rand, a major industrial equipment provider, launched its new range (1- to 15-hp) of oil-less air producers as part of IR's oil-less reciprocating air compressors.

These oil-less units were designed to be suitable for varied industries ranging from hospitals and water treatment plants to breweries. Based on the design of a reciprocating air compressor, the IR oil-less air compressors are easy to install and maintain. These compressors can also perform continuous-duty operations to meet sustained demand and extended running time.
In addition, these low-maintenance compressors deliver optimal uptime rates due to their sealed bearing design. These compressors also eliminate the need for oil change-outs, thereby saving maintenance time for operators.
The reciprocating air compressor market has been bifurcated on the basis of product, technology, lubrication, application, and region. With respect to application, the reciprocating air compressor market has been segregated into energy, home appliance, oil & gas, food & beverage, manufacturing, semiconductor & electronics, healthcare, and others.
