Rising Demand for Crude Oil and Gases Impelling Market Growth

At present, there is an increase in the demand for crude oil and gases on account of the rising utilization of electricity in the residential and commercial sectors. Besides this, the growing installation of heavy-duty and efficient machinery in industries to improve operational efficiency and boost productivity is catalyzing the demand for electricity. Positive displacement pumps are extensively deployed in oil and gas exploration activities as they offer high viscosity performance, compact design, and the ability to manage high differential pressure. Their demand is expected to increase as organizations continue to set up new facilities and equipment to boost their production.

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The positive displacement pump market structure is fragmented in nature, with a large number of global and regional players operating in the industry. The competitive environment in the market is expected to intensify due to the increase in research and development (R&D) activities and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) among the industry players. The number of new entrants in the market is low due to the low product differentiation rate and switching costs, high investments, and the need of technological knowledge.

What are Positive Displacement Pumps?

Positive displacement (PD) pumps, also known as constant flow machines, are industrial pumps designed to displace fluid from the inlet pressure compartment into the discharge tube or pipe. They comprise an expanding cavity on the suction side and the contracting cavity on the discharge side. They are commercially available in three major types, including rotary, reciprocating, and peristaltic pumps. They do not possess impellers but rather rely on rotating or reciprocating paths to push the liquid in an enclosed moveable volume directly. They differ from the traditionally used centrifugal pumps as they advance the fluid at the same speed regardless of the pressure. They are appropriate for applications wherein a constant flow and an accurate dosing or high-pressure output are required. They function to maintain a constant flow of liquid with respect to the back pressure. They are also widely utilized in high-pressure washing, spraying or cleaning, and irrigation purposes.

COVID-19 Impact:

The outbreak of COVID-19 imposed a moderate impact on the positive displacement pump market owing to the imposition of global lockdowns and social distancing norms. Many manufacturing plants were closed, and the supply chain of raw materials was disrupted as restrictions were imposed on road movements and trade activities. The enforcement of lockdown measures caused companies in downstream industrial production markets to minimize capacity or temporarily pause output to review and implement new procedures to limit risk. Low industrial output has also weighed heavily on demand for positive displacement pumps and complementary components. Overall industrial demand from power stations, chemical plants, and petrochemical plants for positive displacement pumps declined due to weaker economic growth and supply-side issues. The pandemic also threatened a logistical transportation slowdown. However, to keep up with the demand, the companies engaged in the distribution of positive displacement pumps strengthened their transportation services.

Positive Displacement Pumps Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for positive displacement (PD) pumps in water treatment systems and drink dispensers represents one of the primary factors propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, the rising employment of PD pumps in shipbuilding and agricultural purposes is positively influencing the market. In addition, the growing awareness about the beneficial aspects of conducting proper wastewater and sewage management to prevent water pollution is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the rising deployment of water treatment systems in various industries to maintain sustainability in their operations is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the increasing utilization of PD pumps in chemical industries to safely handle aggressive and flammable fluids is supporting the growth of the market. Moreover, key market players are focusing on manufacturing smart pumping systems with enhanced functionalities and various other beneficial features. Furthermore, the increasing demand for energy-efficient pumping devices is bolstering the growth of the market.
