Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Water-cooled Refrigerated Air Dryer market size was valued at US$ 5403 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 8007 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.8% during review period.
In 2025, global sales of water-cooled refrigerated air dryers reached 420,000 units, with an average selling price of US$12,500. Water-cooled refrigerated air dryers are air post-processing devices that cool compressed air below the dew point and separate moisture through a refrigeration system. Utilizing water-cooled condensation, they are suitable for continuous operation, high loads, and high ambient temperature conditions, and can stably control the pressure dew point between 2°C and 10°C. They are widely used in manufacturing, chemical, electronics, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The main upstream raw materials include carbon steel and stainless steel heat exchangers, copper pipes, refrigeration compressors, refrigerants, controllers, water valves, and insulation materials. Heat exchangers and compressors together account for approximately 60% of the material cost. The average consumption per unit is approximately 180 kg of steel, 35 kg of copper, and 3–6 kg of refrigerant. The midstream is handled by compressed air system and drying equipment manufacturers, who complete the overall design and assembly. The global total production capacity is approximately 500,000 units per year. Downstream supply relationships are primarily with industrial users. In terms of downstream consumption, general manufacturing accounts for approximately 40%, chemicals and energy for about 25%, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals for about 20%, and electronics and other industries for about 15%. The industry's average gross profit margin is approximately 28%–34%. Future growth lies in upgrading towards high-efficiency heat exchange structures, environmentally friendly refrigerants, and modular integration. Against the backdrop of manufacturing automation upgrades, energy-saving retrofits of compressed air systems, and the industrialization of emerging markets, the demand for water-cooled refrigerated air dryers maintains steady growth, presenting a sustained business opportunity centered on replacement of existing stock and penetration of high-end models.
