Regenerative blowers are vortex blowers, ring compress, and side channel blowers. These are used in moving air’s large volumes at lower pressure. It has various benefits such as its compact size, lightweight design, less vibration, robust & efficient performance, and low noise. These are used in handling equipment used to move large volumes of air at vacuum pressure. This equipment uses the non-positive displacement method to create air molecules and generate vacuums. 

These blowers are used in various industries, such as the food industry, to dry food & beverage, handle fragile food, and automatic bottling machines. These blowers are used to move eggs or soft fruits into packaging. Additionally, such blowers are widely used in air knife blower systems. These factors are anticipated to boost the regenerative blowers market growth. COVID-19 Impact: Demand and Supply Chain Disturbance Hindered the Market Expansion.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Interruptions To Harmed The Market

The pandemic impacted every market and has had a long-lasting effect on its growth. The sudden outbreak of the pandemic affected the market in several aspects such as by hindering the transportation, manufacturing, and demand. Significant disruptions were noticed in the global market. The manufacturing, supply, and demand witnessed a downfall in the market. The machinery and equipment sector also witnessed a downfall in its growth due to lower production and supply of the product. The demand supply was slow which affected the growth rate of the market.  

LATEST TRENDS

Industrial Sector to Boost Adoption of the Product

The rapid development of the industrial sector is expected to boost the water and wastewater treatment plants, which is anticipated to drive trends in the market. The wide applications of these blowers in the food industry are most likely to positively impact the regenerative blowers market growth. Various features of the product, such as robust design, low maintenance, and easy use in removing dust or smoke, make it well suited for chemical, mining, fertilizers, and industries, which is forecasted to surge growth in the market.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “industrial fans and blowers” (including regenerative blowers) consumed 90 057 million kWh of electricity in the U.S. industrial sector in the latest DOE assessment.

• According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, fan motors in the U.S. manufacturing sector use 78.7 billion kWh annually—about 15 % of all motor electricity—highlighting the scale of opportunity for efficient blowers.

REGENERATIVE BLOWERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

By type, the market is segmented into single-stage regenerative blowers, two-stage regenerative blowers, three-stage regenerative blowers, and others.

A single-stage regenerative blower is most likely to dominate other segments due to its steady adoption in industrial applications. These are maintenance-free and are anticipated to gain a steady adoption in the global market. 

By Application

The market is classified into water and wastewater treatment, industrial, chemical, medical and healthcare, food and beverage, aquaculture, oil and gas, and others.

DRIVING FACTORS

Steady Growth in Wastewater Treatment Projects to Boost Product Demand

The consistently increasing wastewater treatment projects are expected to boost the demand for the product. Countries globally strive to gain long-term solutions for pure water sanitation and start projects for sewer & urban systems to enhance people's health and their surroundings. 

Increasing Change in The Food & Beverages Industry to Drive Market Growth

The easy availability of ready-to-eat food and changing dietary habits are anticipated to increase the demand for regenerative blowers. The food & beverages can be dried with the help of this product. It also helps in preserving the food for a longer time. It is also helpful in the packaging and manufacturing stage of the food & beverages industry.

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, automated inlet guide vane control and optimized pressure setpoints on regenerative blowers in wastewater aeration can deliver up to 20 % energy savings over fixed speed positive displacement units.

• 
  According to the Compressed Air & Gas Institute, regenerative (side channel) blowers provide flow rates up to 1 700 CFM at pressures up to 15 psig, making them versatile across water treatment, pneumatic conveying, and vacuum applications.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Cheap Substitute Availability to Retard Market Growth

The market is fragmented and consists of various alternatives. The availability of various substitutes is anticipated to hinder the expansion of regenerative blowers market share. In most industrial applications, the regenerative blowers can be replaced with centrifugal blowers & rotary lube. These blowers cannot sustain high pressure. This may limit the growth of the market. Additionally, the entry of liquid or solid contaminants into the inlet port may cause issues during the operations.

• According to a recent DOE notice, the Department is proposing to rescind its determination that fans and blowers are “covered equipment” under EPCA, potentially delaying any future efficiency standards for regenerative blowers.

• According to DOE’s test‐procedure scope, general fans and blowers with shaft input power < 1 HP or > 150 HP are excluded from current rulemaking, omitting mini blowers and large turbocompressors from regulation.
