The global mechanical pump market is expected to grow from US$ 49,639.6 million in 2021 to US$ 72,732.2 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2021 to 2028.

A mechanical pump is a device that uses mechanical action to move fluids (liquid or gas) and slurries. Mechanical pumps are classified based on how they operate, but they all work on the same principle of consuming energy and moving fluid through mechanical action. Eight major industries, namely coal, fertilizers, oil & gas, refinery products, steel, cement, and electrical, are driving the adoption of pumps. Agriculture and construction services are also important end-use segments in developing economies like India and China. The mechanical pumps market's major players are primarily focused on quality and a low-cost proposition. One of the major success factors for standing out in the global market is to build a stronger brand and expand market reach in new geographies.

The mechanical pump market is segmented on the basis of stage, type, application, and geography. Based on stage, the market is bifurcated into single stage and multi stage. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into positive displacement and centrifugal pumps. Based on application, the market is segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial. Additionally, based on region, the mechanical pump market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Mechanical Pump Market

APAC has several developing countries, high industrial presence, and positive economic outlook. Increasing urbanization and industrialization in APAC countries is presenting ample growth opportunities to the mechanical pump market players. The increasing use of enhanced technologies; growing adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) across various industrial facilities; and rising safety mandates in developing countries such as India, Japan, and China are propelling the adoption of mechanical pumps in the region. The COVID-19 outbreak has brought the entire manufacturing sector to a halt, causing major supply chain disruptions. As a result, there was a shortage of raw material required for mechanical pump manufacturing, as the key raw material suppliers are located in China and Taiwan. The trade war between the US and China has had a negative effect on trade of raw materials and on the demand for mechanical pumps. Further, the scarcity of raw materials has led to increase in their prices, resulting in high mechanical pump manufacturing costs. However, in the Asia Pacific market, the need for mechanical pumps has been driven by rising demand for power generation in economies such as India, Japan, and Indonesia. The increased usage of the Internet of Things, which allows mechanical pumps to monitor, analyze, and boost productivity, will have a favorable impact on the market growth.
