Another key growth enabling factor is the rising industrialization in Asia Pacific over the recent years. China, South Korea, India, and Japan have showcased a significant growth in terms of industrial output, which can be attributed to the availability of cheap labor & material, favorable government policies, and higher demand for commodity in the region. China recorded a robust growth in terms of the total industry value added from 2017 to 2020, towing to its well-established manufacturing base and competitive business environment, compared to other regions.
 

Although the industry is witnessing a substantial growth, the adverse impacts of coronavirus on the compressor sector have slowed down the industry development in 2020. The disruption in mining & construction activities together with a decline in the manufacturing output of major countries has hampered the sales of portable air compressor globally. Restrictions on international trade and prevailing social distancing norms have forced top companies to partially shut down their operations, negatively impacting the portable air compressor market growth.
 

Screw compressors to dominate the portable air compressor industry demand

The rotary screw compressors segment is set to generate around USD 1.5 billion revenue by 2027. The trending usage of energy-efficient and high-power air compressors will augment the demand for rotary screw segment. Majority of portable rotary screw compressors are available in oil-injected form than oil-free models due to the higher costs and preference to rent oil-free compressors in various countries.
 

Lower cost of oil-filled products will maintain their dominance in the sector

Oil-filled compressors segment is anticipated to register growth rate of above 7.5% in the global portable air compressor market from 2021 to 2027. This equipment mainly find their usage in rough applications including mining & quarrying, construction, and industrial sectors. The matured oil & gas industry in the U.S. and growing industrialization in emerging economies of Asia Pacific are projected to enhance the demand for oil-filled products during 2017 to 2027.
