Blower Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing financial allocations towards water and wastewater treatment

Increasing financial allocations toward water and wastewater treatment presents a promising avenue for the blower market. An increase in financing for water treatment infrastructure is necessary as more governments and businesses realize how important it is to manage water resources effectively. The market for blowers, which are vital to aeration systems that are necessary for wastewater treatment, is expected to grow substantially. Increased funding would lead to innovations in blower efficiency and design as well as technical breakthroughs. This might thus result in the creation of blowers that are more ecologically and energy-efficient, in line with the objectives of global sustainability.

According to a report by the World Bank Organization, the Government of China is committed to increasing the investment in wastewater treatment plants by 35% before 2020, with wastewater treatment being one of China’s key environmental goals. Moreover, a project by the European Investment Bank titled, ‘Wastewater investment program of Veritas Spa over the 2022-2025 period’, aims to support investments in wastewater infrastructure in order to improve the coverage, quality and resilience of integrated water services in the Veneto Region. Such initiatives are expected to benefit the blower market in the long term. Thus, as financial allocations rise, the blower market gains momentum, playing a pivotal role in ensuring efficient and sustainable water and wastewater treatment processes.

Restraint: Rising financial losses, equipment downtime, and unnecessary capacity additions associated with air leaks

Unnecessary capacity expansions, equipment downtime, and increased financial losses can be caused by leaks, artificial demand, and poor practices related to the use of blowers. Regular monitoring and repairs are necessary for cost management since leaks cause an average pressurized system to lose between 25 and 35 percent of its compressed air. In a manufacturing plant, air leaks may be the biggest source of wasted compressed air energy. For instance, the annual cost of a single quarter-of-an-inch leak in a compressed air line within a plant might range from USD 2,500 to over USD 8,000, which depends on pressure needs and energy expenses. As a result, managing leaks and conducting air audits may be challenging for a number of SMEs, which might lead to a decrease in output and an increase in unproductive time. These factors would restrict the market growth for blowers.

Opportunities: Rising demand for oil-free and Class 0-certified blowers

The rising demand for air systems in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and water & wastewater treatment industries is contributing to the growth of the blower market. Pneumatic conveyors, which move liquids, powders, and goods that are sensitive to moisture across the plant, run on compressed air. It powers pneumatic machines and apparatus that combine granular components, aerate liquids, and render meat products. In the end, food goods are packaged, wrapped, sealed, palletized, and labeled before being stored or sent. Thus, the increasing demand for oil free and class 0-certified blowers would provide to be a lucrative opportunity for the blower market.

Challenges: Reduction in noise pollution and enabling quieter operations

Noise pollution is a common occupational health hazard, especially in heavy industries during manufacturing processes. Many manufacturing processes, machinery, and equipment produce high noise levels, which can lead to hearing problems. Blowers are loud and can generate a significant amount of noise pollution, especially conventional blowers. Legacy blowers with high ratings generally tend to have a noise level above 120 decibels (dB). On the other hand, new models have a rating between 40 dB to 80 dB. Some end-use industries need blowers with a higher power rating depending on the load required for applications. However, high rating blowers have a higher noise level. Companies prefer to select blowers with low noise levels to enable quieter operations to reduce costs associated with constructing a separate enclosure for the blower. Maintaining low noise levels may be challenging for manufacturers that use older blowers as well as blowers with high power ratings.

Blower Market Ecosystem

Leading companies in this market include well-established, financially secure producers of blower products. These corporations have been long operating in the market and have a differentiated product portfolio, modern manufacturing technologies, and robust sales and marketing networks. Major companies in this market include Atlas Copco (Sweden), Ingersoll Rand (US), Kaeser Kompressoren (Germany), Aerzen (Germany), and Xylem (US).

The regenerative blower segment is expected to be the second fastest market by pressure during the forecast period.

By product, the blower market is divided into positive displacement blowers, centrifugal blowers, high-speed turbo blowers, and regenerative blowers. Regenerative blowers offer several advantages, including remarkable efficiency in compressing and transporting air with minimal energy loss, rendering them a cost-effective choice for various applications. Their reputation for reliability stems from their ability to operate continuously for extended durations with minimal maintenance. Additionally, these blowers are favored for their low noise emissions, making them well-suited for noise-sensitive applications. Their versatility is highlighted by their availability in a range of sizes and configurations, catering to several applications and industries.

By end use industry, the cement segment is expected to be the second fastest segment during the forecast period.

This report segments the blower market based on end use industry into cement, steel, mining, power, chemicals & petrochemicals, pulp & paper, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, water & wastewater treatment, and others. The cement segment is expected to be the second fastest segment during the forecast period. Blowers play a pivotal role in the cement industry by facilitating crucial processes such as combustion air supply in kilns and pneumatic conveying of raw materials and cement. These industrial blowers ensure efficient combustion, aid in material transport, and contribute to the overall operational efficiency of cement plants. Their reliable performance and ability to handle high temperatures make them indispensable for maintaining optimal conditions in the production and processing stages of cement manufacturing.

“Asia Pacific”: The largest in the blower market.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest blower market during the forecast period. The region is experiencing rapid development fueled by the growth of major economies such as China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan.
