Centrifugal Pumps Market Size – By Pump Type, By Design, By Type, By Stage, By Operation, By End Use Industry, By Distribution Channel & Global Forecast, 2026 – 2035

Centrifugal Pumps Market Size

The global centrifugal pumps market was estimated at USD 42 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 43.8 billion in 2026 to USD 66.9 billion in 2035 at a CAGR of 4.8% according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

Due to the increased growth in urbanization and industrialization around the world, there is a massive increase in the need for water and wastewater treatment. Agriculture is responsible for approximately 70% of the total amount of freshwater used on a global scale, and industry utilizes approximately 20%, though this amount is growing rapidly as industry continues to expand throughout the world. Centrifugal pumps are used in many of these systems to help facilitate the movement of water in municipal water treatment plants and industrial facilities. Also, with nearly half the world's population beginning to face a severe water shortage at least part of the year, there is an ever-growing need for developing methods to reclaim and treat water. Thus, this driver demonstrates a growing trend of reducing the risk of using natural resources inefficiently as well as becoming more compliant with environmental regulations. The expected growth rate of approximately 50% for the need for water by 2030 creates a sense of urgency associated with developing ways to pump water more efficiently. Centrifugal pumps have been positioned as the primary means for transforming water infrastructure into a modernized entity due to their ability to pump high volumes of fluid at a relatively low cost.
 

Energy efficiency is now a centerpiece of industrial policy for many nations. Under the direction of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), manufacturers were asked in 2016 to begin designing, producing, and marketing Clean Water Pumps. More recently, the DOE has updated its Energy Conservation Standard for Clean Water Pumps for manufacturers to comply with the Clean Water Pump Energy Index (PEI) and has required manufacturers to develop new and improved products using less energy. Currently, pump systems consume approximately 40% of a facility's lifetime operating energy cost. Therefore, enhancing a facility's pump system efficiency will help a facility save on its operating costs throughout the life of the pump system. Because more businesses are focusing on sustainability, many companies are changing their purchasing strategies to improve the sustainability of their pump systems. Currently, based on studies, pump systems can achieve energy savings through improving both their designs and controls of 30%-50%. In addition to providing energy savings, this drive for increased energy conservation creates new opportunities for pump manufacturers to compete and thrive in this emerging marketplace.
 

Even with these ongoing trends towards energy transition, Oil & Gas continues to be a major contributor to world energy supply; oil & gas is projected to supply approximately 34% of total energy demand globally in 2024. Centrifugal Pumps play an essential role within both upstream/submerged drilling and downstream hydro-processing/refinery operations as the medium of transfer for crude oil, refined petroleum products, and water that is utilized for the drilling process. The IEA has indicated that upstream oil and gas activity will continue to receive investment, which will require a total increase in annual capital expenditures of USD 135 Billion by 2030 in order to maintain supply security. This indicator illustrates how the continued demand for hydrocarbons remains resilient, and continues to have a place within the world’s energy system; it illustrates the complexity associated with the handling of fluids used during the process of exploration and refinement of hydrocarbons. In terms of projected dimensions, total U.S. crude oil production is projected to average approximately 13.4 million barrels/day in 2025. With this high-level production anticipated, the need for large-capacity pumps will continue to exist for both the extraction and transportation of crude oil. As there will be a growing demand for petrochemical products, centrifugal pumps will continue to contribute to the reliability and efficiency of the entire process of manufacturing petrochemical products.
 

Centrifugal Pumps Market Trends

Sustainability and digitalization have influenced the centrifugal pumps industry throughout the entire world, as there is now greater emphasis placed on both energy efficiency and smart technologies. more specifically, there is a growing push for using high-efficiency centrifugal pumps in combination with variable speed drive systems, supported through various government agencies including the United States government's department of energy as well as others, to help reduce energy consumption through increased life cycle cost saving (LCCS). Additionally, businesses and industries throughout the world are now utilizing IoT-enabled monitoring and predictive maintenance programme applications that are incorporated into centrifugal pumps that are intelligent assets which can enhance performance from increased efficiency and decrease unplanned downtime. this trend reflects resource efficiency and operational reliability. therefore, advanced centrifugal pumps are going to play a critical role in water management processes, industrial processing solutions, and energy infrastructure configurations.
 

• Recent advances in the field of industrial technology have seen the incorporation of IoT (Internet of Things) capabilities and sophisticated data analysis into centrifugal pump systems having both Sensor Data collection and Connection to External Networks. Consumers of these products (pumps) will be able to monitor the condition of their equipment (in real time) and be proactive regarding the maintenance of those products. Smart pumps utilizing variable-speed drives (VSD) in combination with Internet-based diagnostic tools enable the end-user to reduce energy utilization and minimize costly downtime. With the evolution of pumping technologies from mechanical devices to smart machines, there is significant opportunity to create service-based business model solutions (this shift is happening in all industries, but notably in wastewater treatment and oil & gas).
   
• Global energy efficiency mandates are prompting a seismic shift in pump design and selection due to regulatory and economic factors on a worldwide scale. As an example of this trend, the U.S. department of energy has developed a series of regulations requiring the development of pumps that meet or exceed designated energy performance indices (EPI). The regulations will create an opportunity for manufacturers to create high efficiency pump designs. In recent years there has been an increase in the use of variable speed pumping systems by industry to optimize flow rates and minimize energy costs. The adoption of variable speed pumping systems is not only favorable to the corporation's sustainability strategy, but they are now becoming a significant part of the strategy to reduce operational cost and carbon footprint by implementing energy-efficient pumping solutions.
   
• One of the many trends globally affecting the marketplace is the strategy of localizing supply chains as a means for mitigating risks from disruptions globally. The vulnerability of sourcing critical component parts, as evidenced by the shutdowns due to pandemics and geopolitical instability, has led pump manufacturers to consider investing in creating local production and/or partnership facilities in the respective regions to provide timely delivery and predictability of cost. For instance, companies that support projects through the Water Infrastructure sector in Asia-Pacific are establishing regional assembly plants to increase local market access while simultaneously decreasing dependence on imported products. The growing need for increased resilience and faster response times will continue to be a priority for end-users in industries with tight turnarounds for projects.
   
• Advanced composite materials and corrosion-resistant alloys are becoming increasingly popular in the manufacture of centrifugal pumps. The use of these types of materials extend the life of pumps, lessen maintenance costs, and improve the performance of pumps that deal with extreme conditions, such as chemical processing or the ocean environment of offshore oil platforms. Pumps made from engineered polymers or duplex stainless steels are being used more frequently in desalination and wastewater treatment systems where extensive exposure to hazardous fluids is involved. This evolution results in a greater degree of reliability and contributes towards sustainable practices by decreasing the number of replacement pumps and reducing the overall use of natural resources to produce replacements.

The centrifugal pumps market by distribution channel is segmented into direct and indirect. The direct segment was worth USD 23 billion and has a market share of around 54.6% in 2025.
 

• Because industrial pump buyers increasingly want customized pump solutions adapted to their specific needs, the majority of pump manufacturers still sell pumps directly to end-users. Buying directly provides end-users the ability to tell manufacturers what design features they want, what materials they prefer, and what performance parameters they want to achieve with their pumps, which ultimately leads to the greatest efficiency and reliability. The need for customized pump solutions is most important in industries such as oil and gas, power generation and water treatment, where many operational conditions can differ so greatly that standard product offerings are not able to meet those needs adequately.
   
• In addition, direct channels generally provide better technical support, installation assistance and after-sales service than do indirect channels. Buyers of high-value, high-reliability pump systems (such as centrifugal pumps) place a premium on reliability and lifecycle performance, and to achieve this, they need to work closely with pump manufacturers. By maintaining direct relationships with pump manufacturers, buyers can troubleshoot quickly and can integrate predictive maintenance into their day-to-day operations. Furthermore, end-users who buy from manufacturers directly have access to OEM spare parts, allowing for reduced downtime and less operational risk. This focus on the service aspect of buying from a manufacturer creates greater loyalty among customers and establishes a preference for purchasing items directly from a manufacturer versus an indirect channel.
   
• Big companies that build large factories or facilities typically order very large quantities of materials, and sign long-term contracts with suppliers to secure those materials at a lower cost than buying them one-by-one. The use of direct channels eliminates the need to deal with any middlemen; thus, allowing companies to negotiate for lower prices, favorable payment terms, delivery times, etc. As well as these pricing benefits, through direct channels, companies are able to communicate openly with the suppliers about the compliance with energy efficiency regulations and sustainability requirements on a global level. The combination of these benefits further strengthens the position of the direct distribution channel in the market.
