With regards to technology, the portable air compressor market from the rotary screw segment is set to generate substantial revenue by 2032. This growth can be attributed to the rising usage of energy-efficient and high-power air compressors. Majority of portable rotary screw compressors are also available in oil-injected form in comparison to oil-free models on account of their higher costs and preference for renting oil-free air compressors in various countries.
With respect to lubrication, the demand for oil-filled portable air compressors is estimated to register over 7.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 led by rising utilization in rough applications, such as construction, mining & quarrying, and industrial sectors. Oil-filled portable air compressors are widely used in automotive repair & maintenance tasks for powering pneumatic wrenches and ratchets as well as inflating tires and blowing out debris from radiators and filters. The surging need for improved lubrication and smoother operation will also augment the market development.
Based on application, the portable air compressor market size from the semiconductor & electronics segment is expected to record notable CAGR from 2023 to 2032. This growth can be credited to the rising adoption of portable air compressors for powering pneumatic tools used in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing processes. Some of them include impact wrenches, air-driven screwdrivers, drills, grinders, and sanders deployed in assembly, repair, and maintenance tasks. Increasing penetration in component testing and quality control processes will also play a key role in the segment expansion.
Asia Pacific portable air compressor market is likely to capture more than 50% of the revenue share by 2032 propelled by the significant surge in the number of construction and infrastructure projects, mainly in China and India.
