According to P&S Intelligence, the Middle East and Africa (MEA) compressor market stood at $3.0 billion in 2017 and it is 
projected to reach 3.9 billion by 2023, progressing at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2018–2023). This growth can 
be majorly ascribed to the strong oil and gas sector in the region. Compressors are widely used in oil extraction, transportation, 
and refining processes. Moreover, the growing construction and food and beverage industries will also add to the market growth 
in the foreseeable future.
 
The construction sector uses compressors to supply compressed air to air-operated machinery at construction sites. Moreover, 
surging focus on infrastructure development plans, such as the Saudi Vision 2030, will drive the Middle East and Africa 
compressor market. With this vision, Saudi Arabia aspires to reduce the dependency on the oil and gas sector and shift 
investments toward other public service sectors like tourism, health, education, and infrastructure. Under this, this country plans 
to complete the construction of around 26,500 sq. km by 2025 in the new city of Neom.

Additionally, growth in the food and beverage sector is creating lucrative opportunities for players in the market. Compressed air 
finds wide application in fluid pumps, packaging, product handling, air cleaning of containers, and food-filling machines. The fluid 
pumps are used for the movement of liquid products in production and filing processes. Whereas, the product handling involves 
moving of items at exceptional speed during the production process.

Additionally, compressed air is used to generate vacuum in packaging, as it helps in protecting food from contaminants 
during storage and shipment.
Categories under the type segment of the Middle East and Africa compressor market include positive displacement and 
dynamic. In 2017, the positive displacement category accounted for the larger market share, due to the widescale application 
of positive displacement compressors in the automobile industry. Moreover, automotive original equipment manufacturers 
(OEMs) of North Africa are setting up new manufacturing units in Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Egypt. This is acting as a 
catalyst to the growth of the market in this category.
 
Currently, the Middle East and Africa compressor market is observing an increasing use of rotary compressors. This emerging 
trend can be owed to the surging application of such compressors in industries like oil and gas, mining, and construction. The 
Middle Eastern economy is primarily dependent on the oil and gas sector and expansion of this sector will boost the demand 
for rotary compressors in the coming years. These compressors are used to supply high-powered compressed air for 
producing crude oil.

Geographically, South Arabia held the largest share in the Middle East and Africa compressor market in 2017 and it is 
expected to generate significant revenue during the forecast period as well. This is because the country is the largest 
producer of oil in the MEA region. Additionally, the food and beverage, automotive, cement, and chemical sectors of this 
nation have been the leading user of compressors. Moreover, the increasing investment of the Saudi government in non-oil 
oil sectors will fuel the demand for compressors in the coming years. 
 
Thus, the expansion of the food and beverage and construction industries will propel market growth in the coming years.
