What are the Current Market Dynamics of the Global Compressed Air Filtration and Dryer System Market?

Rising awareness among small industrialists about the benefits of deploying air compressor filters and dryers in industrial machinery and equipment has boosted sales.

Pipes and fittings used in industrial units such as industrial refrigeration systems or point-of-use water treatment plants use compressed air filtration devices to minimize the accumulation of contaminants. This type of desiccant filter for air compressors also prevents water accumulation and reduces the maintenance cost of installed machinery and equipment from corrosion.

As these types of air dryer filters increase the productivity of the production system so are expected to experience greater demand from major manufacturing industries. With the growth in business volume of automakers, oil, and gas, and chemicals, the sale of inline desiccant air dryers is anticipated to be soaring during the forecast years.

Various companies have come up with new ideas for air compressor dryers that are emerging as a lucrative opportunity for the global compressed air filtration and dryer system market.

Air compressor dryer for painting is one such product for which the demand is growing in the local markets. Catering air compressor filters to smaller units as a raw material for further value addition is anticipated to be a significant opportunity for the growth of the compressed air filter market.

What are the Key Challenges Experienced by the Market Players?

Air dryers and filters, demand from small and regional units has remained low during the analysis period and before.

Most industries requiring compressed air for various operations produce it in an auxiliary unit that is highly expensive. Some industries avoid the system altogether, which can be a significant restraint for the growth of the global market for some more years.

What is the Growth Outlook for the Compressed Air Filtration and Dryer System Market According to Different Segments?

Stringent regulations to maintain the quality of pharmaceutical products and food & beverages are anticipated to be the key driving factor for the growth of the market.

Among the two types of products, compressed air dryers hold a higher value in terms of total revenue generated in the global market. Industrial plants experience frequent changes in operating temperature. Endothermic or exothermic processes require dried air that is obtained from industrial refrigeration systems or dryers.

Compressed air filters are also a crucial part of the industrial manufacturing units operating under severely contaminated air of chemical particles.

As the demand for 3 stages compressed air filters is limited only to pharmaceutical and food & beverages companies, the market share of this segment has remained somewhat lower.

Which are the Prominent End Use Industries for the Global Compressed Air Filtration and Dryer System Market?

Automotive industries around the world account for a huge share of the total use of compressed air filters on a global level. Compressed air filters and dryers are the fundamental equipment for the automotive installed for cabin air filtration, air conditioning, or even pneumatic brakes.

Inline desiccant dryers are also a very important part of the chemical industries dealing with toxic and combustible gases. The requirement for highly pure products along with maintenance of proper safety and isolation has made the best air compressor filter dryer a highly demandable product for the chemical industries.

The traditional manual packaging of pharmaceuticals also reduced the quality of products. This led to market damage as the use of desiccant filters for air compressors can ensure packaging is free from moisture and oil. So these are readily sought by pharmaceutical chemical companies.

Which are the Significant Applications of Compressed Air Filtration and Dryer Systems?

Compressed air filtration and dryer system have a wide variety of application areas that makes them a very profitable business in the electronics manufacturing sector. Several demands for variable DC power supply units are generated by the industrial sector, having large production units that operate on electricity.

The automotive segment is the most attractive end-user for the compressed air filtration and dryer system market. The segment is estimated to witness a higher CAGR of 4.0% than the other sectors during the forecast years.
