SAN ANTONIO, TX, July 23, 2025 — Driven by rising infrastructure investment, widespread equipment delays, and surging demand across industrial sectors, the North American Air Compressor Rental Market reached nearly $1.8 billion in revenue in 2024 and is projected to hit $2.6 billion by 2031, according to a new report by Verify Markets. The market experienced significant growth in 2024 compared to the previous year and is now expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4 percent, signaling a lasting shift in how companies source compressed air solutions across industries.
Oil & gas operations have remained key contributors, particularly for high-pressure applications in remote or off-grid environments. At the same time, industrial reshoring, accelerated project timelines, and mega infrastructure investments are amplifying the need for flexible, high-performance rental compressors. Together, these forces are reshaping rental demand and reinforcing the market’s role as a vital resource for operational continuity.
The oil-flooded compressor segment remains the workhorse of the market, led by construction and manufacturing applications such as sandblasting, painting, and general industrial operations. Meanwhile, oil-free compressors are gaining ground in sectors like food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical refining, where clean air is non-negotiable.
The market is also being reshaped by emerging trends, including “Air-as-a-Service” rental models and the rise of smart, IoT-enabled compressors that offer remote monitoring, noise reduction and enhanced efficiency. Re-rental activity is increasing as providers coordinate to meet peak demand periods and offer broader geographic coverage.
Challenges remain—rental rates in certain categories are tightening budgets, and workforce shortages continue to limit field support in some regions. Still, the overall market outlook is strong, particularly as reshoring efforts, federal infrastructure funding, and mega projects continue to unfold across the U.S. and Canada.
Leading players such as Atlas Copco, United Rentals, Aggreko, Sunbelt Rentals, Caterpillar, and Herc Rentals are expanding fleets and capabilities to meet this rising demand. Other key companies profiled in the report include EquipmentShare, Rogers Machinery Company, Inc., and Ingersoll Rand, among other specialized rental providers.
