The MEA Positive Displacement Pumps Market size is estimated at USD 543.36 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 622.79 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.48% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Positive displacement pumps are used for pumping high-viscosity fluids, including oil, paints, resins, or foodstuffs. They are selected in applications where accurate dosing or high-pressure output is required. Unlike centrifugal pumps, the production of a positive displacement pump is not affected by pressure. Thus, they are also likely to be preferred in any situation where the supply is irregular.
• To evaluate the market revenue for the Middle East & African positive displacement market, the sales of positive displacement pumps across the Middle East & Africa have been tracked. Different types of pumps are considered in the report, including diaphragm, piston, gear, lobe, progressive, screw, vane, and peristaltic, which are used in multiple end-user industries like oil and gas, chemicals, food and beverage, water and wastewater, pharmaceuticals, power generation, among others. The competitive landscape has been taken to calculate positive displacement pump penetration and how players involve themselves in organic and inorganic growth strategies.
• A positive displacement pump operates by trapping a set amount of water and pushing it into the discharge piping. Some models of positive displacement pumps feature an expanding cavity on the suction side and a shrinking cavity on the discharge side. Positive displacement pumps are known for their operation of trapping a fixed volume of fluid in a cavity and then pushing that fluid into the discharge pipe. On the other hand, centrifugal pumps transfer the motor's kinetic energy to the liquid through a spinning impeller, which draws in fluid and increases velocity to move the liquid to the discharge point.
• Positive displacement pumps are integral to various oil and gas operations stages, including exploration, extraction, refinement, and distribution. These pumps are crucial for handling high-viscosity fluids and providing consistent flow rates, which make them suitable for critical applications in the oil and gas sector. The ability of these pumps to work at lower speeds reduces the risk of damage when handling high-viscosity oils and slurries, further enhancing their utility in the industry.
• The high initial investment required for positive displacement pumps is a significant barrier to market growth. These pumps are often more expensive than other types, which can deter potential buyers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, the difficulty of maintaining these pumps further adds to the overall cost, affecting their sales and market penetration.
• The swift growth of civic water utility infrastructure in emerging regions like the Middle East & Africa has resulted in a higher need for positive displacement pumps. There has been a significant rise in the demand for sewage treatment in both the public and industrial sectors, leading to an increased installation of pumping units. Implementing technologies such as desalination and zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) is anticipated to further drive the market for positive displacement pumps in civic and industrial sectors.
The MEA positive displacement pumps market is highly fragmented, with the presence of major players like Dover Corporation, Ingersoll Rand Inc., Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (Spirax Group PLC), Alfa Laval AB, and Gorman-Rupp Corporation (Gorman-Rupp Company). Players in the market are adopting strategies such as partnerships and acquisitions to enhance their product offerings and gain sustainable competitive advantage.
• June 2024 - Ingersoll Rand Inc. successfully finalized its acquisition of ILC Dover (ILC). In addition, the company bolstered its portfolio by acquiring Complete Air and Power Solutions (CAPS), Del PD Pumps & Gear Pvt. Ltd (Del Pumps), and Fruvac Ltd (Fruitland Manufacturing) for a consolidated sum of around USD 150 million.
• September 2023 - Busch unveiled its latest innovation, the energy-efficient R5 RA vacuum pump. This pump boasts a sleek, hygienic design, lower heat emissions, and streamlined maintenance. The Ecotorque variable speed drive, an optional feature, delivers an impressive 50% boost in energy efficiency and a 20% uptick in pumping speed. Moreover, this accessory expands the pump's voltage range, enhancing its global usability.
