The global compressed air filter and dryer market size is expected to grow from USD 5.4 billion in 2022 to USD 7.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.2%. The growth of compressed air filter and dryer market is driven by the surging demand for compressed air solutions from food & beverages industry, and increasing use of compressed air dryers for protecting equipment against hazardous and corrosive environments.

Many of the major manufacturing and processing industries such as automotive, oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and power were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as their operations were discontinued for months. This resulted in disruptions in industrial supply chains as industries took time to resume operations even after the COVID-19-related restrictions were relaxed. This had an adverse impact on the growth of the compressed air filter and dryer market in 2020.

"Compressed air dryer held the larger share of the market for the chemicals industry in 2021.”
Compressed air dryers held the larger share of the market for the chemicals industry in 2021. Chemical companies deal with toxic and combustible gases daily; hence, high-quality compressed air is quite crucial for the safety and efficiency of equipment. Compressed air dryers such as refrigeration dryers have a high demand in the chemicals industry due to the requirement of high-purity products and the dangerous or hazardous gases present in a chemicals production facility. Chemical facilities often experience sudden changes in temperature due to endothermic or exothermic reactions occurring inside the plant. Refrigeration dryers are best suited for handling such sudden shifts in temperature.
