Increasing Industrialization and Manufacturing Activities
The relentless pace of global industrialization and manufacturing activities has been a pivotal driver for the centrifugal compressor market. Industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, and manufacturing rely heavily on compressed air for various processes. Evidence of this driver is observed in the substantial investments made by major industrial players like ExxonMobil and DowDuPont in expanding their manufacturing capacities, driving the demand for efficient compression solutions.
Growing Emphasis on Energy Efficiency
The global emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability has driven the demand for advanced, energy-efficient compression technologies. Centrifugal compressors, known for their efficiency, have become integral in achieving energy savings across industries. Major players like Siemens and Atlas Copco have led the way in developing innovative, energy-efficient compressor solutions. The evidence lies in the increasing adoption of centrifugal compressors in industries striving to reduce energy consumption and minimize their environmental footprint.
Expanding Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
The continuous expansion of oil and gas exploration and production activities globally has significantly contributed to the growth of the centrifugal compressor market. With increasing demand for energy, oil and gas companies such as Shell and Chevron are investing in new exploration projects. The evidence is reflected in the rising installations of centrifugal compressors in offshore platforms and onshore facilities, catering to the compression needs of extracted gases and petroleum products.
Restraint
Despite the positive momentum, a notable restraint in the centrifugal compressor market is the challenge posed by volatile raw material prices. In 2023, fluctuations in material costs, including steel and alloys used in compressor manufacturing, impacted the overall pricing and profitability of compressor manufacturers. Evidence of this restraint is seen in the financial reports of companies such as Ingersoll Rand and Gardner Denver, highlighting the vulnerability of profit margins to raw material price volatility.
Market Segmentation by Type: Multi-stage centrifugal compressor Dominates the Market
The market can be segmented based on the type of centrifugal compressors, including single-stage and multi-stage configurations. In 2023, the highest revenue and CAGR were observed in the multi-stage centrifugal compressor segment, driven by their ability to handle higher pressure ratios. However, during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032, the single-stage centrifugal compressor segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR, reflecting the demand for simpler and more energy-efficient compression solutions in various applications.
Market Segmentation by Discharge Pressure: Below 20 Bars Dominate the Market
Segmenting the market by discharge pressure includes below 20 bars, between 20 and 200 bars, between 200 and 400 bars, and above 400 bars. In 2023, the highest revenue and CAGR were observed in the below 20 bars and between 20 and 200 bars segments, driven by the widespread use of centrifugal compressors in applications with moderate pressure requirements. However, during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032, the above 400 bars segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR, reflecting the demand for high-pressure compression in specialized industries such as petrochemicals and oil refining.
APAC remains the Market Leader
Geographically, the centrifugal compressor market exhibits diverse trends. In 2023, Asia-Pacific led in both revenue and CAGR, driven by the rapid industrialization and infrastructure development in countries like China and India. However, the Middle East is expected to experience the highest CAGR during the forecast period, fueled by the continuous growth in oil and gas activities and industrial expansion in the region.
