The rising urbanization rate in several countries is fueling the demand for centrifugal water pumps across the world. For instance, in India, the urban population is predicted to rise to 404 million by 2050. Similarly, in China, the population of people living in urban areas is predicted to increase to 292 million by 2050. This growth in urban population will generate pressure on the already existing water supply network and infrastructure, that includes wastewater treatment facilities and utility water supply.

This is making several governments in Africa and Asia implement drinking water schemes and increase their irrigation spending. Moreover, there has been a sharp rise in the usage of water pumps during the past few years, especially in the urban households. The lifestyles of the people living in the urban areas is very modern and fast-paced as compared to the lifestyles of the rural people. Urban people mainly use water pumps for operating jacuzzi, shower panels, and bathtubs.

Besides the above-mentioned factors, the increasing water scarcity in various countries is also propelling the worldwide sales of centrifugal water pumps. As per the Population Action International, water scarcity is affecting nearly 2.8 billion of the global population in as many as 48 countries (including nearly 40 countries in West Asia, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa). The growing water scarcity in these countries is pushing up the requirement for several new water sources.

This is augmenting the requirement for water pumps that can offer high efficiency and capacity. Additionally, the governments of many countries are implementing policies that are making water recycling and reusing necessary for commercial enterprises. Apart from this, the rapid expansion of the construction industry is also positively impacting the global demand for centrifugal water pumps. Due to these factors, the global centrifugal water pump market is recording huge expansion.

Chemical, energy, oil and gas, and municipal water and waste water are the major end-use industries of centrifugal water pumps. Out of these, the usage of centrifugal water pumps was found to be the highest in the municipal water and waste water industry during the last few years, as per the observations of the market research company, P&S Intelligence. In the coming years, the requirement for these water pumps will increase significantly in the municipal water and waste water industry.

Globally, the centrifugal water pump market is predicted to register huge expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the upcoming years. The prominent factors propelling the sales of centrifugal water pumps in this region are the rising urbanization rate, rapid industrialization and surging disposable income of the people living in the regional countries such as China and India. In APAC, the sales of centrifugal water pumps will boom in India in the coming years.

Hence, it can be safely said that the demand for centrifugal water pumps will shoot-up across the world in the coming years, mainly because of the rising urbanization and the increasing water scarcity in several countries.
