World compressor market
According to JARN, global demand for refrigerating compressors increased substantially in 2014 compared to 2013.
According to JARN, global demand for refrigerating compressors increased substantially in 2014 compared to 2013.
The strongest growth was for centrifugal compressors (+12.2%, 14,920 units sold); China (+16%) and the United States (+5%) represent slightly less than half of the world demand.
. Rotary compressor demand (+10.7%, 148.2m units sold) was also very strong, especially in China (+ 10%, 110m units) and Southeast Asia (12.2m units).
. Scroll compressor demand grew by 5.9% in 2014; the US (+12%, 6.17m units sold), China (+4.5%, 4.02m units), Europe (1.24m units) and Japan (1.14m units) are the 3 major markets.
. Screw compressor demand increased by 5.8%; China (67,000 units sold), Europe (35,000 units) and the US are the three big markets.
. Finally, reciprocating compressors showed a slight increase (+1.8%); hermetic compressors – used in household refrigerators and light commercial refrigeration – dominate this market.
For centrifugal, rotary and scroll compressors sales were boosted by technical developments such as inverter technology, increasingly large capacities and oil-free bearing technology (centrifugal compressors).
