Digital transformation and new technologies are rapidly changing the face of various industries completely, and the pump industry is no exception. In recent years, several developments have been made on the efficiency of these devices to accurately fit in with the age of digitalization. As the energy costs continue to escalate, the pressure to adopt new business models for manufacturers are also evolving in an attempt to enhance product monitoring, while lowering the environmental impact.
Persistence Market Research (PMR), in its new offering, turns the spotlight on ‘Global Pumps Market’ to explore the possible demand patterns and growth opportunities on pumping systems. The study also offers valuable information for the stakeholders on many aspects of evolving trends along with operational and strategic impacts of the pumps market.
Today’s pumps are many years ahead of their ancient counterparts. As focus continues to be placed on hydraulic science, rudimentary designs evolved, and new designs and inventions began to flood the market. In 2018, worldwide sales of pumps were valued at US$ 37.5 billion, and a large number of market players are focusing on aligning with the ever-changing trends and introducing advanced products at competitive price.
Increasing infrastructural development activities as well as exploration of new water sources worldwide, in the view of continued urbanization, has been parallel to rapid adoption of pumps. However, in recent years, emergence of various Chinese players offering pumps at relatively low cost has been challenging the growth of global and regional market players. Additionally, more focus on enhancing the operating life of modern-day pumps, rather than spending on R&D on new products, has affected the aftermarket sales of pumps and their components.
Manufacturers continue to focus on increasing the production of centrifugal pumps for water and wastewater treatment, as the category has witnessed robust sales in the recent years. Providing a very high flow rates and covering a wide range of liquid pumping applications as compared to positive displacement pumps, the centrifugal pumps also continue to witness higher innovations and investment. The impact of new trends such as ‘portability’, ‘miniaturization’, and ‘size reduction’ – end users’ preference that have induced tectonic shifts in number of industries – is noticeable in centrifugal pumps as well. Manufactures are leveraging new technologies such as micro disc pumping to create small-size yet energy efficient centrifugal pumps to capitalize on chemical and hygiene markets.
As several organizations draw attention to the threat of water scarcity, wastewater treatment has become an integral part of the sustainable development goals. Recognizing the growing importance of water and wastewater treatment across the globe, pumps market players are directing their focus and exploring the potential of their products in these applications. Increased government investments in water and wastewater treatment activities are further likely to work to the advantage of the pump manufacturers.
Market Players on an Acquisition Spree
Sensing the fragmented nature of the pumps market, key players are cracking the ‘mergers & acquisitions’ code to stay ahead of the pack. For instance, in 2018, Ebara Corporation formed ‘Ebara Bombas América do Sul Ltda (EBAS)’ by merging Ebara Indústrias Mecânicas e Comércio Ltda (EIMCO) with its wholly-owned Brazil-based pumps manufacturer, Thebe Bombas Hidráulicas Ltda.
Capitalizing on rapidly increasing wastewater treatment activities also remains a key focus area of the pumps market players. Such efforts were further intensified when Xylem Inc. announced its acquisition of EmNet LLC, a smart solutions provider for municipalities to manage urban water cycle along with wastewater and stormwater systems.
Prioritizing Energy-efficient Products
As dwindling natural energy resources becomes a global crisis, several process plants and manufacturing facilities are increasing their focus on the amount of energy expended by various equipment. For many organizations, the environmental impact of their operations is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, pump manufacturers are constantly working on improving the efficiency of their products that not only reduce energy costs but also lower the maintenance requirements.
Expansion of Manufacturing Capabilities in Developing Countries
Despite the presence of large number of local players, leading pump manufacturers are continuously targeted towards establishing new manufacturing facilities in developing countries where costs of operations are relatively low. Favorable government policies in these countries along with rising demand for pumping equipment from SMEs have also led to realignment of these strategies.
The global pumps market shows a high level of fragmentation, with a large presence of small- and medium-scale manufacturers who are aggressively competing to gain significant share in the market.
As Chinese players continue to offer low-cost products, leading manufacturers are differentiating through incorporation of advanced technologies and several additional services. With increased focus on reducing operating costs, equipment rental is garnering traction as a viable and cost-effective alternative to purchase. Therefore, pump manufacturers are building effective strategies to respond to such trends and fulfil specific demands for different end users.
In addition to expanding their product portfolio, many market players are focusing on optimization of pumping systems and increasing production speed that can save energy and reduce the total cost of ownership without compromising on the performance parameters. While leading players remained focused on M&A activities for a strong position in the market, a number of small players are increasingly looking for international partnerships through technology collaborations to enter the foreign markets.
Report authors maintain a positive outlook of the global pumps market, which is projected to register a value CAGR of ~4% during the period between 2019 and 2029. Considering the emerging trends of ‘micro-irrigation’ in small farms and increasing deployment of small pumps, manufacturers will need to direct their focus towards ‘customization’. As end users’ needs shift to niche applications, offering customized products should be key development strategy of the market players. For pump manufacturers struggling with price pressure in competitive market, embracing business models such as ‘pump-as-a-service’ will present opportunities to get ahead of the competitors, according to the analysts.
Wide applications of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps in wastewater treatment and water supply activities are likely to drive the market for pumps during the forecast period. These pumps cover approximately 28% of the centrifugal pumps market value share. Pumps are largely deployed in water & wastewater treatment applications. Multistage pumps have been witnessing speedy growth in Western countries due to their higher adoption rate.
Centrifugal pumps are among the most widely used pumps due to design simplicity, wide capacity range, smooth flow rate, and ease of maintenance & operative efficiency. Positive displacement pumps are ideal for high-pressure applications that need the same amount of flow produced at the same speed.
The construction sector is one of the main end users of pumps, and with growing investments in this sector, the global pumps market is slated to witness robust growth in the coming years. With governments and other private firms expected to undertake a number of new construction projects in the next 10 years, the pumps market is projected to witness significant demand in the coming years.
By product type, the centrifugal pumps market is segmented into axial & mixed flow pump, multistage pump, single-stage pump, seal-less and circulator pump, and submersible pump. This report on the pumps market also provides important market information related to end-use applications, such as agriculture & irrigation, oil & gas, mining, water treatment, wastewater treatment, domestic, and other industrial application. The report not only covers the sales of new pumps, but also the sales of rental and used pumps. This global pumps market study also does not take into account the customization and maintenance services provided by manufacturers and suppliers.
The global pumps market is estimated to reach at US$ 40 Bn at the end of 2019, and is anticipated to reach more than US$ 60 Bn by the end of 2029. The global pumps market is estimated to reach at a CAGR of ~ 4.5% during forecast period.
