Description

Definition and Scope:

Ship compressor is a multipurpose device which finds many applications on a ship. Some of the main forms of compressors used on ships are the main air compressor, deck air compressor, AC compressor and refrigeration compressor.

The global Ship Compressor market size is projected to reach US$ 471.31 Million by 2028, from US$ 359.66 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 3.88% during 2022-2028. The increase in the number of ships globally is the key driver driving the growth of the ship compressor market. Increase in the number of ships globally will accelerate the demand for marine compressors in the coming years. Over the past few years, the global merchant fleet has witnessed a steady growth trend. The increase in the number of ships globally is mainly due to the increase in tourism, recreational activities, maritime transport, and international trade. To meet the stimulating demand of these events, these companies are adding more ships to their inventories every year. The increase in the number of ships being used in various applications will further expand the market for marine compressors as each ship requires a compressor.

In addition, the widespread use of marine compressors, technological advancements in the marine compressor industry, and growing demand for marine and freight transportation under the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic have become important drivers for the growth of the ship compressor market.

At the same time, factors such as high costs associated with the installation and maintenance of marine compressors, high demand for high-end technical talents in the industry, and special requirements for materials used in marine compressors are hampering the growth of the market during the forecast period.

According to category, ship compressor can be divided into two categories: Air compressor and Gas Compressors. All along, the Air Compressors sector occupies the most important market share. In 2021, the market share of the market size of the Air Compressors sector has reached 87.86%, much higher than the 12.14% of Gas Compressors. During the forecast period 2022-2028, we estimate the market size of the Gas Compressors segment to grow at a higher CAGR of 4.67%.

Segment by Type, the Ship Compressor can be split into Main Air Compressor, Topping Up Compressor, etc. The market size of the Main Air Compressor segment leads the entire ship compressor market with a market share of more than 40%. Main air compressor: used to provide high-pressure air to start the main and auxiliary engines.

According to application scenarios, ship compressors can be divided into Passenger Ships, Cargo Ships, Military and Others. Due to the high demand for Cargo Ships in the global transportation industry, the market size of the Cargo Ships sector has occupied more than 50% of the market share in the industry. However, during the forecast period, with the growth of the tourism industry and the increase of entertainment activities after the epidemic, the market size of the Passenger Ships sector may usher in a higher growth rate, reaching a CAGR of 4.68%.

On basis of geography, the Ship Compressor market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. The Asia-Pacific market has become the most important market for the ship compressor industry, and in 2021 it has Occupied 70.33% of the market size. This is related to the highly developed shipbuilding industry and strong demand for ships in China, Japan and South Korea. Among them, China occupies more than 30% of the global market share, the highest among all countries. During the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific market will still lead the world with a CAGR of 4.16%.

Currently, the global ship compressor market is highly competitive, and the entire market is not concentrated. In 2021, the indicators CR5 and HHI used to measure the degree of market concentration will be 47.86% and 4.68% respectively, which are at a relatively low level. Players in the Marine Compressors market are implementing various growth strategies to gain a competitive advantage over competitors in this market. For example, on December 2, 2022, Atlas Copco has completed the acquisition of the assets in Suzhou Since Gas System Co., Ltd. (Since Gas), a China-based manufacturer of on-site gas generation equipment.
