COMPRESSED AIR PIPES AND FITTINGS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global compressed air pipes & fittings market size is expected to be worth USD 3.43 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 5.50 billion by 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during the forecast period.

Industrial operations rely heavily on compressed air as a utility service. By compressing normal air, compressed air is created. A major necessity in the textile industry, compressed air is used extensively at all stages of operations, along with electricity, water, and steam. The investment and maintenance costs are lower than the cost of energy consumption. In the production of natural and man-made textiles, choosing the right compressor system is crucial. A compressed air system can power machines with its pressure. The use of compressed air equipment is widespread, particularly in the construction, automotive, metalworking, and woodworking industries. A compressed air system eliminates the need for motors, making tools lighter and more reliable. Because air-powered tools have fewer moving parts, they are less likely to break. Even though these tools are often more powerful, compressed air systems are very efficient.

The pipes and fittings that connect everything in a compressed air system are known as pipes and fittings. Businesses relying on compressed air systems on a daily basis rely on piping to make or break their operation. The layout, installation, and maintenance of compressed air system pipes and fittings must be carefully considered, since defective and inefficient piping can result in power loss. Pressure efficiency is affected by obstructions and blockages, moisture, and sharp angles. Undersized piping is a common problem when delivering air to an application. Pipes and fittings are required for the compressor system to operate correctly. Leaks and other issues can occur if these components are of poor quality.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt on Machinery and Equipment to Hamper Market

Global compressed air pipes & fittings market are in turmoil as a result of the growing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many countries have halted non-essential manufacturing due to government actions. China, where the virus first appeared, was forced to reduce manufacturing and work across the country. While this has begun to subside, supply chains around the world have been shaken, prompting many vendors and manufacturers to reconsider their reliance on China for goods and services. The effects of this virus have had a negative impact on buyers looking to buy drip irrigation drippers and pipe extrusion machinery. The stagnation of Chinese manufacturing has resulted in interminable lead times.

LATEST TRENDS

Usage Of Compressed Air Pipes In Textile Industry To Drive The Market Growth

It is crucial in this industry to power spinning machines, spinning mills, and other machinery for processing denim, producing yarn, and for other purposes. Airjet looms and polyester yarn production industries rely heavily on compressed air pipes. Texture adds value to finished goods by adding texture to various fabrics. In addition to these applications, it is also used for winding and dying nonwoven materials. The purpose of air compressors is to power additional tools used to clean facilities and ensure the unit's efficiency as a whole.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Disadvantages Of PVC Pipes For Compressed Air To Restrain Market Growth

PVC pipes are very common in most industries. But, it is not recommended as a compressed air pipe because when the air is compressed inside PVC piping it can lead to the swelling of pipe and burst at high pressure, launching PVC shrapnel outward like a bomb and potentially injuring or killing anyone in close proximity. Even though pipes of different types can be used, PVC pipes are not advised for compressed air which thereby restrains compressed air pipes & fittings market growth.
