An air-start system is a power source used to provide initial rotation to start large diesel and gas turbine engines. Unlike electric starters, which generally creates sparks and need expensive, and sometimes unreliable batteries, air starters are powered by compressed air. It provides a completely safe and reliable energy source while eliminating all possibilities of electrical ignition.
Air starters provide good performance in harsh environments due to its durability. They are widely used in dusty mining industries, salty marine industry, and in challenging oil & gas industries. Moreover, air starters have high power to weight ratio and are much simpler and compatible with turbine engines.
COVID-19 Impact
- The global market for air starter market is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The COVID-19 pandemic saw a decline in the economic growth in almost all the major countries, thus affecting consumer spending patterns.
- Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
- Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of air starters, which negatively impact the market growth.
Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends and Drivers
Air starter is a universal technology, widely adopted and used in various industries, which is expected to increase the demand for air starters around the world. Among these industries, aviation and oil and gas are the major industries that employ air starters in huge numbers due to very high amount of government investments in these industries across the globe, which is expected to fuel the demand for air starters over the forecast years.
Demand for air starters is expected to rise in the next few years in the marine and power generation industry due to their high reliability and durability. Further, air starters are highly used in these industries due to its robust construction, simple design,high compatibility and low maintenance. This in turn is projected to drive the global air starter market over the next few years and create great opportunities for revenue generation in the forecasted period.
However, presence of substitute products such as electric starters and variable frequency drives is one of the negative factors hampering the air starters market. Plus, high cost of air starter as compared to other alternative products is another factor restraining the growth of the air starters market worldwide.
Regional Analysis
The global air starter market is studied across major four regional markets including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. North America is expected to be the largest market over the coming years in response to the growing inclination towards these devices in large engine-starting applications. In addition to this, huge recognition of the global air starters in this region is further expected to complement the growth of this region. Moreover, increase demand for compacted engine-starting equipment along with compatibility to potentially harmful and volatile atmosphere would potentially generate the demand for air starters in this region.
