Global compressed air treatment equipment market worth $8.5 billion by 2020

Global Compressed Air Treatment Equipment Market is projected to reach USD 8.59 billion by 2020, as per a new research report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Growing implementation of this equipment in various industry sectors such as healthcare & pharmaceutical, food & beverages and electronics & semiconductor is anticipated to fuel market demand. This equipment is majorly used in manufacturing sector for several tasks such as vacuum, valve operation, packing, spray coating and cleaning. 

Dryers were valued at USD 2,407.7 million in 2013. It is estimated to hold majority of the industry share by 2020. The spur can be attributed to higher product price coupled with growing need across numerous application areas. Filters were valued at USD 1,871.0 million in 2013. Particulate filters are likely to reach USD 555.5 million 2020 owing to growing significance for bulk liquid separation as well as to remove solid particle contaminants down to 5 microns.

Use of clean and dry air helps in reducing operational cost and carries out cost effective and efficient production activity. Compressed air treatment equipment is widely used in food industry owing to hygiene as well as safety concerns. Proliferating use of this equipment in medical sector is likely to drive industry demand. It prevents harms caused by contaminants such as oil, dirt, moisture or water that causes damage to the production equipment such as air tools, air motors, valves, cylinders and corrosion. 

In addition, absence of these filters cause reduction in production activity and might lead to damaged, spoiled or reworked products accompanied by increased manufacturing cost. It also aids in reducing pressure drop as well as resultant energy. Huge capital investment involved in installation of this equipment is likely to pose a challenge to industry growth. Flourishing application of this filter in breathing air applications is anticipated to provide potential opportunities to the compressed air treatment equipment market.
