Compressed Air Treatment Market Size, Share and COVID Impact Analysis, By Product (Filters, Dryers, Aftercooler, and Others), By Application (Plant Air, Instrument Air, Process Air, and Breathing Air), By End User (Chemical, Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Compressed air treatment equipment is a method that dehumidifies and cleans air prior to it entering the air compressor. This system helps in removing particles and lowering the dew point that potentially impacts the air compressor. Compressed air treatment involves air dryers, filters, and aftercoolers. It has components such as an air cooler, filter, air receiver tank, distribution system, and condensate trap. It is widely used in paint sprays, conveyor systems, robotic arms, jackhammers, drills, and nitrogen generation. Benefits associated with compressed air treatment has compact, improving operation productivity, and reducing rust & corrosion. It finds applications in end-user industries such as chemical, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, automotive, aerospace, and food & beverages, and others.

An increase in demand for clean air and dry compressed air to provide a good life for compressor devices, and pneumatic devices. A rise in the use of precision engineering machines, and an increase in manufacturing competency to enhance productivity. In addition, the rise in efficiency and effectiveness of machinery, and production facilities, drives the compressor air treatment market growth. A rise in the geriatric population globally, which in turn, increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as asthma, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. This is expected to rise in demand for compressed air treatment equipment for healthcare sectors, fuels the growth of the market.

However, high installation costs required for compressed air treatment equipment are the restraints for the growth of the global compressed air treatment market. Furthermore, the rise in the adoption of compressed air treatment equipment to improve the efficiency of air compressors, which lowers their maintenance cost, is projected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global compressed air treatment market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Compressed Air Treatment Market

Owing to the coronavirus outbreak, halted in logistics and manufacturing activities globally, which in turn, results in the disruption of the supply chain, and raw materials. Furthermore, the spread of COVID-19 has influenced negatively the growth of the compressed air treatment market. Major demand for compressed air treatment equipment has been noticed from several economies such as the U.S., Australia, Japan, and others, which are now severely affected by the spread of COVID-19, leading to halting in the overall manufacturing activities, which in turn, decreasing the demand for compressed air treatment market for a short term.

Hence, the global compressed air treatment market is projected to recover fast rate with investment in the healthcare, and automotive sector, which in turn, is projected to propel the growth of the compressed air treatment market. Furthermore, a reduction in the count of COVID-19 cases, and relaxing government regulations across globally for re-opening compressed air treatment market at full-pace.
