Market Research: Air Starters Industry 2022 Analysis by Development Trends and Dynamics

The air starter market is expected to grow at a considerable CAGR globally over the forecast period. Key drivers for this market are the compact size of air starters; compared to electric starters, and their ability to work in unsafe conditions. They also have higher power to weight ratio and require less maintenance compared to electric starters. Burgeoning oil & gas sector and aviation industry will open new avenues for this market on the forecast horizon.


Air starters can be for vane motors or turbine motors. Vane air starters work on the principle of positive displacement, while turbine air starters consist of a radial inward flow or axial flow turbine. The compressed air for air starters can be provided by bleed air from a running engine, auxiliary power unit (APU), or a portable gas generator. When a limited volume of starting air is required for a short crank cycle, vane starters are used. On the other hand, when large amount of starting air is available for a longer crank cycle, turbine starters are used. Air starters in general have larger operational life compared to electric starters. They have higher reliability, lighter weight, and are easier to build. Due to their simple and modular design, turbine air starters are preferred for large turbofan engines used in aircrafts.

The air starter market is segmented on the basis of end user industry, type, and the geographical region. The segments based on end user industry are aviation, oil & gas, marine, and mining. The types of air starters are vane air starters and turbine air starters. The geographical regions for this market are North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa.

Key players in the air starter market are Gali International, Ingersoll Rand, Tech Development TDI, Maradyne Corporation, KH Equipment Pvt Ltd, Air Starter Components Inc, Power Works Private Ltd, Shin Hueng Precision Co Ltd, Industrial Power Units Ltd, Miller Air Starter Co, Multitorque industries, Diehl Aerosystems Holding GmBH, and SAIC. The air starters market is a part of the larger parent market of air ground handling systems.
