Against the backdrop of global energy transition and industrial upgrading, the pump industry is undergoing significant change. As a core component of industrial systems, pumps are seeing shifts in demand structure, technology focus, and competitive landscape.
Global Pump Industry: Growth Driven by Clean Energy and Emerging Demand
According to the latest report from Uresearch, the global pump market reached USD 99.139 billion in 2024. Short-term pressure remains due to weakened demand from traditional process industries. However, growth in clean energy, data centers, and new energy vehicles is creating new momentum. The market is expected to reach USD 110.614 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 1.53%.
Asia-Pacific remains the core global pump market due to strong demand from petrochemical, power, and agricultural sectors. The region accounted for 48.2% of global demand in 2024 and is expected to reach 49.5% by 2030. Infrastructure expansion in India and Southeast Asia will continue to drive growth.
Industrial Pumps: Largest Market Share and Urgent Need for Transformation
Industrial pumps account for 71.5% of the global pump market, reaching USD 70.884 billion in 2024. They remain essential equipment in oil, chemical, and power industries.
However, the sector faces two major challenges.
Pressure from traditional industries: Petrochemical and steel sectors are upgrading under carbon neutrality policies, raising requirements for pump efficiency and emission control.
Technical barriers in emerging sectors: Hydrogen energy, data centers, and semiconductor manufacturing require pumps with corrosion resistance, high precision, and low energy consumption, increasing technical thresholds.
