The market is witnessing positive trends mainly due to increasing demand from industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation. The growing energy demand across the globe especially in emerging countries of Asia Pacific and Middle East Africa is driving the demand for booster compressors from these industries. Additionally, the surging need for compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel for automobiles and the growing focus towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions are expected to propel the global booster compressor market during the forecast period. With continuous capacity additions in process industries and rising energy demand worldwide, the booster compressor market is expected to grow substantially in the coming years.

Increasing demand from oil & gas industry

The oil and gas industry relies heavily on boosting compressor to aid in extraction and transportation of oil and natural gas. Boosters are used at various points along the production cycle from initial extraction from wells to processing facilities and transportation through pipelines over long distances. With rising energy needs globally, oil and gas production has been increasing steadily each year. This consistent rise in oil and gas output will certainly fuel the growth of boosting compressor market that caters specifically to upstream and midstream operations of oil and gas industry.

Further, with depletion of onshore reserves, exploration and drilling activities are moving to offshore and deep-water reserves which pose additional technical challenges. Deep-sea oil rigs and ultra-long undersea pipelines driving offshore production require high-capacity boosting equipment to maintain requisite pressure over extended periods. Leading oil producers have been making huge capital investments in developing untapped reserves in locations like Arctic region and unlocking energy from shale rocks and oil sands also necessitate deployment of specialized booster compressors. As oil and gas industry expands into newer frontier areas in the pursuit of energy security, demand for high-performing and durable booster compressors tailored for tough operating conditions is likely to grow substantially.

Increasing uptake in petrochemical sector

Another key end-use industry augmenting the booster compressor market growth is petrochemicals. Petrochemical sector constitutes an integral part of the global energy and manufacturing industry which uses oil and gas as primary feedstock to produce important chemicals, plastics and synthetic materials. Rapid industrialization and surging consumption of petrochemical-based products across the world has been propelling capacity additions in petrochemical plants. Since these facilities depend on processed hydrocarbons as raw materials, deployment of booster compressors is important at various stages right from gas processing terminals to complex manufacturing sites for operations like steam cracking, distillation and polymerization.

Rising petrochemical trade flows owing to globalization is also elevating the relevance of boosting compressors in LNG terminals and import-export pipelines. The market is further gaining traction from capacity ramp-ups in emerging petrochemical hubs to meet the soaring demand from construction, automotive and packaging sectors in developing economies.
