Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
An air compressor is a mechanical device whose purpose is to increase air pressure to generate energy. Air compressors are available in several products for a wide variety of installations
Many characteristics may vary from one compressor to another: power, power source, capacity, maximum pressure, size and pressurization mechanism. To approach the general air compressor market, one must consider on the one hand, the compressors with a capacity of less than 200 L (intended for use by individuals or construction sites) and the large-capacity compressors, which are more sophisticated and whose features are designed for industry.
Therefore the market brings together a very wide variety of players: from the manufacturers of compressors for construction sites and homes, manufacturers of compressors for the construction industry and for private individuals, manufacturers of distributors of compressors to companies and DIY stores or marketplaces online that provide distribution to individuals.
The world market for air compressors is in a good dynamic. Industry demand is growing around the globe and the innovations in the sector make the products more and more suitable for any kind of industrial situation. Competition between manufacturers is based on innovation. As a result, the product range is gradually becoming more energy-efficient, more efficient and safer.
In France, the market is already well structured, and the players positioned on it are showing a high business stability. The market has thus experienced 0.01% growth over the year 2019. The players in the sector are positioned in the wholesale (business-to-business) trade of various industrial supplies and equipment, but also in the manufacture of pumps and compressors. However, France is very dependent on its imports in pieces regarding the compressor manufacturing capacity and reaches a 15% coverage rate in 2019.
