Pumps Market Growth & Trends

The global pumps market size is anticipated to reach USD 77.07 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by rising industrial growth, increasing water & wastewater treatment needs, growing demand in the oil & gas sector, and advancements in technology enhancing pump efficiency. In addition, infrastructure development, agricultural activities, and a focus on renewable energy sources contribute to the market's expansion.

Water & wastewater treatment is expected to register a significant growth rate across the forecast period owing to the urbanization, population growth, and rise in manufacturing activities in the industrialized nations. Growing requirements of centrifugal pumps on account of providing properties such as ideal capability of raising pressure inside pump casing, high flow rate deliverability, and high transmission velocity are expected to promote the product’s importance. Moreover, pump stations are particularly needed in wastewater treatment plants where gravity flow is not feasible.

According to the United Nations World Water Development Report, approximately 2 billion people do not have access to clean & safe drinking water globally, and roughly 3.6 billion people, or 46% of the world's population, do not have access to basic sanitation facilities. This is projected to augment the usage of recycled water for direct delivery to end consumers, thus augmenting the demand for wastewater treatment systems and subsequently increasing the demand for pumps over the forecast period.

The oil & gas sector also significantly impacts the market. As exploration and extraction activities intensify, pumps are essential for transporting crude oil and other fluids throughout the production and refining processes. The demand for pumps in this sector remains robust, contributing to the overall market growth. Furthermore, the increasing demand for crude oil to facilitate production centers, overseas logistics, and domestic transport is expected to heighten offshore and onshore exploration activities in the coming years. The above-mentioned trends are expected to promote the requirement of pumps that are capable of handling subsea pressures and providing utility functions.

Agricultural activities, including irrigation and crop spraying, are additional driving factors. Pumps are integral to agricultural processes, ensuring the efficient distribution of water for crops. The modernization of agriculture and the adoption of precision farming techniques further amplify the role of pumps in the agriculture sector. Moreover, technological advancements in the field of irrigation and farming especially in emerging countries, and government funding in farming are some of the key factors for agriculture industry growth. In addition, pumps are used for several purposes which include irrigation, dewatering of crops, reuse, aquatic weed control, fish farming, and water management.

Advancements in pump technology play a pivotal role in shaping the market landscape. Ongoing research and development efforts lead to the creation of more energy-efficient and reliable pump systems. Intelligent pumping solutions, predictive maintenance capabilities, and digitalization further enhance the efficiency and performance of pumps, driving their adoption across various industries. Moreover, the increasing focus on renewable energy sources, such as solar & wind power, creates opportunities for the market. Pumps are utilized in various renewable energy applications, including the transfer of fluids in solar thermal systems and circulation of heat transfer in fluids in geothermal power generation.

Manufacturers are seeking product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and expansions to produce new products. For instance, in November 2023, Waterco Limited acquired Davey Water Products from GUD Holdings Limited in a 42.5 million deal. This acquisition will allow the company to expand its product portfolio and geographical presence.
