In July 2023, Sauer Compressors launched a new range of high-pressure compressors for industrial applications. They are ideal for compressing many gases and for many applications. The newly developed magnetic clutch makes the compressors hermetically gas-tight.


Utilization in Gas-fired Power plants to Increase Booster Compressors Demand


Different nations are replacing coal-based power plants with natural gas-fired power plants for power generation. Germany has already passed legislation to end coal-fired power generation by 2038, and many countries in Europe and the rest of the world are investing in natural gas power plants projects. Turbines in gas-fired power plants require a certain pressure of fuel gas to combine the fuel gas and pressurized air before combustion. The demands on compressors at the same time have been growing because gas turbines require fuel gas pressures with higher psi to achieve higher performance efficiency. Also, pipeline pressures fluctuate due to increased peak demand and overall requirements. Hence, the growing awareness of adopting low carbon emission energy sources across the globe propels the market demand for boosters during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Utilization Of Existing Booster Compressor by Consumers to Hamper Adoption


Industrial manufacturers and consumers rely on servicing and continuing the usage of existing compressors instead of investing in new installations to decrease capital expenditure due to the high cost of new compressors. This factor, along with the emission of methane in the atmosphere from the compressors, leading to environmental issues, is the restraining factor in the booster market during the forecast period.
