DRIVING FACTORS

Rapid Industrialization In Developing Economies to Boost The Market Growth

Axial flow compressors are gas compressors that continuously pressurize gases. These are rotary, airfield-based compressors in which gases or working fluids flow primarily parallel or axially to the axis of rotation. The main components of an axial flow compressor are the rotor blades and the stator or fixed blades, the first carrying the moving blades and the latter the rows of fixed blades. The energy level of the liquid increases as it flows through the compressor under the influence of the rotor blades, which apply torque to the liquid. Fixed vanes slow the flow of fluid and convert the flow into pressure on the peripheral component. Compressors are usually powered by a gas turbine, electric motor or steam. Axial flow compressors are used in a variety of industries, including metals and mining, construction, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, construction, automotive and transportation, packaging, power generation, and healthcare. In addition, 70% of all manufacturers use compressed air systems. Due to increasing investments and capacity additions, the industrial axial flow compressors market has a huge growth potential due to rapidly increasing industrialization and manufacturing activities. Several emerging economies, including those in Asia and Africa, accelerated their industrial and economic development. The demand for industrial compressors is also driven by government programs to support industrial automation and the focus on industrial automation to ensure the best possible use of resources. These programs can be used to operate conveyors, pneumatic tools, packaging, automation equipment and more.

Demand In The Water And Wastewater Treatment Industry to Drive Market Growth 

Setting up a refinery requires industry knowledge and experience under pressure from high regulatory requirements. But refining capacity is growing worldwide and is likely to continue to grow in the future. According to the International Energy Agency, refining capacity is expected to increase by 1.2 million barrels in 2022. Additionally, favorable government policies and increased FDI in several sectors such as petrochemicals, natural gas, and refineries are expected to benefit compressor manufacturers worldwide. in the world Thus, the market will grow significantly in the near future. The global axial flow compressors market is expected to grow due to increasing demand in the water and wastewater treatment industry. In the water treatment industry, axial flow impellers are used to direct or pump water through various stages of processing. These compressors are used to recycle liquids in water boilers. In this field, axial flow impellers drive large fluid flows in process plants. The increasing use of these compressors in end-use sectors including power generation, chemical industry, and oil and gas industry is estimated to improve the market outlook during the forecast period.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Availability Of Substitute Products Poses A Threat To The Market Growth

The availability of replacement products for these compressors including rotary compressors is estimated to limit the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, stringent environmental regulations in the oil and gas sector and increasing demand for customization in various end-user industries are hampering the axial flow compressors market growth. The manufacturing of products in Europe and the introduction of new compressor technology, including screw compressors, will further complicate the market.
