The global
industrial fans and blowers market is anticipated to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 3.4 percent during 2020-2025. Factors driving the growth of this sector include the surge in demand from the food and beverage industries. Industrial air blowers are gaining traction in the food and beverage industry owing to the oil-free operations they provide, which helps in maintaining hygienic conditions. Therefore, the growing
food and beverage industry is also expected to fuel the market growth of industrial air blowers.
The increase in the number of manufacturing industries such as the steel industry, chemical industry, construction, and manufacturing industries are predicted to fuel the growth of this market segment. The rapid industrialization in developing economies such as India and China are also anticipated to propel the demand for industrial air blowers. The increasing manufacturing has resulted in the rise in demand for industries in the aforementioned regions and this is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Apart from these factors, high investments in Research and Development by major players to manufacture more energy-efficient and
productive air blowers are predicted to create multiple opportunities for the market shortly.
Applications of Industrial Air blowers
Some of the common applications of where Air blowers are largely used are industrial air exhausting, combustion air for burning, and industrial vacuum applications. Industrial air blowers are primarily incorporated in the air handling units and heating and ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) units for ensuring the right amount of airflow in industrial buildings, factories, and enclosed structures.
For the combustion air supplies, cooling and drying systems, dust control systems, and air conveyor systems the Centrifugal fans are used. The positive displacement blowers are used at sites with wet conditions such as sewage aeration, filter flushing, pneumatic conveying and gas boosting, and many other applications. Since air blowers are used to convey air in both vacuum and pressured atmospheres, it proves them effective for use in the mining sectors. The increasing number of mining operations in the North American regions is thereby assisting the lucrative growth of the market.
Based on the product type, the Industrial air blowers’ market is classified into centrifugal air blowers, positive displacement blowers, helical screw blowers, high-speed blowers, regenerative blowers, and others. Based on the types of end-users, this segment is classified into mining, chemical, food and beverages, paper, and pulp industries.
Factors restraining the market growth of Industrial air blowers
Although, there are fewer alternatives for industrial air blowers, factors such as high maintenance costs and high operating costs can restrain the market growth. Also, the high fuel consumption results in increased costs for operating air blowers. Lastly, rotating discs of the motor generate more noise and create a nuisance for the employees working nearby, which can decrease the popularity of air blowers in residential zones and thereby restrain the industrial air blowers’ market.
