4. Key Market Opportunity
A major opportunity in the Compressed Air Energy Saving Market is expansion of audit and leak detection into Asian manufacturing as growing energy cost and carbon target create demand for energy saving programme above passive operation in China India and Southeast Asian factory. A significant proportion of Asian manufacturing operates compressed air without energy audit or leak detection above saving programme where compressed air audit identifies 20-to-40-percent energy saving. Atlas Copco or FLIR energy audit for Chinese or Indian manufacturing identifying 30-percent energy saving provides ROI above audit cost within months. Compressed air energy saving providers that develop audit and leak detection for Asian manufacturing build factory energy manager and grow with Asian energy cost and carbon target are positioned to capture growing demand.
