Strengthening of Non-Oil Sector Coupled with Upcoming Ambitious Infrastructural Projects Would Propel the Growth of Air Compressor Market in Kuwait - 6Wresearch

Oil revenues accounts for almost the entirety of Kuwait's export earnings and contributes more than 50% towards the country's nominal GDP.In light of the slump in oil prices during 2014-17, the government spending was severely affected in Kuwait, leading to the scrapping of multiple new projects which were expected to hit the market.

According to 6Wresearch, Kuwait Air Compressor market revenues are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% during 2018-24. The government 2035 Economic Vision focuses on diversification of the country's economy through investment in infrastructural development. The government intends to reduce the dependency of Kuwait on oil revenues and transform the country into a commercial and financial hub. The growing construction activities in Kuwait would therefore translate into an increase in demand for air compressor systems in the country in near future.

According to Rachit Gulati, Research Analyst, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch" Rotary air compressor systems held the major market revenue share by technology in the overall air compressor market in Kuwait in 2017, primarily on account of their energy-efficiency, movability and cost-effectiveness. Strong demand for energy efficient air compressors along with development in the infrastructure, housing and commercial sectors in the country also contributed in the growth of such systems in the market."

"Reciprocating air compressor systems are expected to gain a stronger foothold in the Kuwait air compressor market over the coming years owing to their growing usage in segments such as manufacturing and oil & gas applications," Rachit further added.

According to Akshay Thakur, Research Associate, Research and Consulting, 6Wresearch, the major revenue share in the overall air compressor systems market in Kuwait is occupied by the oil & gas sector followed by significant contributions from the manufacturing and construction sectors.
