Compressors and vacuum pumps are sophisticated devices, utilized as a source of energy and to alter atmospheric states to create specific environments for various systems. As the number of applications powered by air or requiring vacuum conditions continues to grow, demand for quality equipment will significantly increase. This trend is a direct result of heightened activity in construction, expansion of semiconductor implementation in processes, and the need for products that comply with stringent safety and environmental regulations.

This Frost & Sullivan research provides a focused analysis of the compressor and vacuum pump global markets. By identifying key drivers and examining industry challenges, this study provides your company with a comprehensive guide to the future of this field.

Rise of Natural Gas Plants Drives Compressor Revenues

Many North American and Asian nations are keenly aware of the constant fluctuations in oil prices, and the long-term demand for this vital energy commodity. In an attempt to slow use of existing supplies, the majority of power plants built in the last decade are fueled by natural gas.

"The most important opportunities for compressor manufactures may be in the natural gas extraction and transportation applications. Within the first decade of 2000, the market is expected to see large increases in the infrastructure for extraction, processing, and transportation of natural gas worldwide," states the author of this research.

Semiconductor Growth Spurring Vacuum Pump Success

Currently affected by the economic deceleration, the rotary vacuum pump sector is expected to experience a strong rise in revenues due to renewed growth within the semiconductor industry. While semiconductors are no longer experiencing the explosive success of prior years, their steady evolution will positively impact vacuum pump sales.

"According to the majority of vacuum pump manufacturers, demand is likely to increase in the long term as semiconductor applications multiply, technology improves, and the cost of manufacturing materials diminishes," says the author.

This Frost & Sullivan study supplies the most up-to-date information on the state of the compressor and vacuum pump markets, allowing your firm to devise a winning strategy to take advantage of this burgeoning field.
