REFRIGERATED DRYERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The refrigerated dryers market stood at approximately USD 1.13 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to USD 1.22 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 2.18 billion by 2033, driven by a CAGR of 7.61% from 2025 to 2033.
 

Refrigerated dryers used to remove moisture from compressed air systems are called refrigerator dryers. The wet, warm air is inhaled by them. These dryers typically produce air with pressure dew points of 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and use a cooling technique to assist keep moisture at bay.

The basic idea behind refrigerated dryers is to quickly cool, condense, and drain moisture from air in a controlled setting to dehumidify it. When the warm, moist air enters the dryer, it is cooled to a temperature of roughly 3°C. Due to their minimal maintenance costs and energy-saving features, these dryers are economical.

The market for air dryers is anticipated to be driven by the rising need for refrigerated dryer equipment in sectors like food packaging, pharmaceuticals for oxidation processes, and cleaning and transporting pills, tablets, and capsules. Also, numerous additional restrictions established by the National Fire Protection Agency for the healthcare sector as well as laws implemented by the FDA (Food and Drug Association) would favorably affect the refrigerated dryer market during the course of the projected year. Furthermore, manufacturers are working to create customized, autonomous, and energy-efficient refrigerated dryer systems.

COVID-19 IMPACT

adversely affected the market due to the disrupted supply chain

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on several of the key manufacturing and processing sectors, including the automotive, oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electricity industries since activities had to be suspended for months. As a result, supply chains in the industrial sector were disrupted because it took some time for businesses to get back to work after the COVID-19-related limitations were lifted. The market for refrigerated dryers suffered as a result in 2020.

LATEST TRENDS

Implementing modern technologies to augment growth in the market

One of the most recent trends that will take off in the refrigerated dryer industry over the next four years is the integration of loT with refrigerated dryers. IoT enables device communication without the involvement of humans or computers. It also aids management teams in improving building and equipment control, which lowers operating expenses. Businesses have begun attempting to connect various gadgets to loTs. "Voice of Machine," a plan by Parker Hannifin to guarantee standardization across all IoT-enabled products throughout its refrigerated dryers and other products, is now in place. This will support the business's monitoring and preventative maintenance schedules for the compressed air piping systems in factories.
