According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Diaphragm Pump Market is accounted for $6.99 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $13.16 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.13% during the forecast period. Positive displacement pumps called diaphragm pumps employ the diaphragm's reciprocating action to pump fluids. The primary components of a diaphragm pump are a reciprocating diaphragm made of rubber or another polymeric material, and check valves that regulate the flow of fluid into and out of the pump. The most crucial element for a longer lifespan of diaphragm pumps is the selection of a suitable diaphragm material according to the application. Structured diaphragms are utilised in numerous applications so that diaphragm pumps can operate more efficiently.

According to the United Nations University Institute of Water, Environment, and Health, in 2020, high-income countries treat around 74% of the industrial and municipal wastewater they generate, and this ratio dropped to 43% in upper-middle-income countries and about 26% in lower-middle-income countries.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand from water and wastewater

Over the course of the forecast, the end-user diaphragm pump market's Water and Wastewater segment is anticipated to develop at the fastest rate. Pumps with a diaphragm are a common piece of machinery in the water and wastewater treatment sector. These kinds of pumps are frequently employed in wastewater treatment processes for fluid transfer, metering, and dosing. These pumps' relatively high solids handling capacity makes them suitable for usage in this sector. The treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater before it is released into the environment is subject to strict laws that are being implemented by governments all around the world. As a result, businesses and metropolitan areas will have a larger need to construct wastewater treatment facilities in the near future, which might hasten the growth of the diaphragm pump market.

Restraint:

Poor efficiency when pumping fluids with particulates

Due to their versatility in handling a wide range of fluids, including chemicals, volatile solvents, viscous fluids, shear-sensitive foods, dirty water, abrasive slurry, tiny particles, creams, gels, and oil, diaphragm pumps are frequently used. Check valves are used in diaphragm pumps to preserve volumetric efficiency by limiting fluid flow in both directions during suction and pumping operations. Pumps using a diaphragm can move a lot of tiny particles. However, a diaphragm metering pump requires clean, particle-free fluid to operate properly. Larger-sized particles may become lodged in the pump while it runs. Peristaltic pumps, which perform well when the fluid being pumped contains significant quantities of particle, may be preferred by some operators. The market for diaphragm pumps may suffer as a result during the anticipated era of growth.

Opportunity:

Growth of pharmaceutical industry

Pumps are used in the pharmaceutical sector to process, mix, unload, and transfer liquids. The pharmaceutical sector handles dangerous, frequently expensive ingredients that must all be pumped in a carefully monitored and secure manner. Diaphragm pumps are generally utilised as sample loop pumps on top of reactors, transfer pumps on various pharmaceutical skids, to pump products into filling lines, and for transferring solvents in the vital pharmaceutical industry. Diaphragm pumps guarantee complete product containment without abrasion or particle production since they are self-priming, dry-running, and have less wetted rotating parts. They can therefore manage various pharmacological liquids with ease. In addition, a lot of diaphragm pumps have CIP and SIP capabilities, making them the finest option for the pharmaceutical business. As a result, the demand for pharmaceutical items could increase, increasing the number of diaphragm pumps needed to produce them.

Threat:

Decrease in coal mining activities

In many kinds of mining areas around the world, diaphragm pumps—especially AODD pumps—are an essential piece of mining machinery. These pumps are used in a variety of applications, from hard rock mining to coal mining, to make mining operations efficient and secure. In coal mining operations, diaphragm pumps are primarily utilised for dewatering. In addition to dewatering, lubricants and fuels are moved using diaphragm pumps in coal mines to maintain the operation of heavy gear and vehicles. However, because of strict emission laws and global decarbonisation goals, the coal mining business is in decline. While the demand for electricity in these areas is only slowly increasing, the use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar PV is expanding quickly. Gas is replacing coal as the preferred fuel in many countries since it produces less carbon than coal. The market expansion for diaphragm pumps may be hampered by these reasons, which could slow down coal mining operations.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has restricted international trade in people, products, and services, including in the majority of the regions where diaphragm pump manufacture is of significant size. A variety of municipal, state, and federal governments have put various limitations on how business is conducted and how people can travel, such as stay-at-home orders and quarantines, which have resulted in a sizable number of business slowdowns and closures. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced business activity and is anticipated to do so going forward. This includes a decline in demand for a wide range of goods and services, as well as weaker economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, significant economic uncertainty, and volatility in the financial and commodity markets.

The air operated segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The air operated segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to A wide range of fluids, including slurries, sludge, abrasive, and high viscosity fluids, can be transported using air-operated diaphragm pumps because they are powered by compressed air. Due to its wide range of applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas industries, the air operated segment is expected to continue growing in the near future. The electrically powered segment is best for uses that call for minimum pulsation and smooth flow. It uses electrical methods, such as an electric motor, as a power source rather than compressed air.

The double acting segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The double acting segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. There are two diaphragms and two sets of valves used in double acting pumps. Compressed air and an electric motor can each drive one of the two diaphragms in turn. The water and wastewater, mining, and power generating industries, among others, all utilise these pumps extensively despite the fact that they are more complicated and larger in size than single action pumps. As a result, the market for these pumps is quite considerable.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to rapid urbanisation and rising foreign direct investments contributed to the expansion of the Asia Pacific Diaphragm Pump Market. The expansion of the industrial sector necessitates careful management and expansion of the region's current fuel and electricity resources in order to assure energy security. Domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity has increased in the area as a result of this, along with unstable geopolitical scenarios that threaten the supply of oil and gas. The developing economies of this region have historically underdeveloped the water and wastewater treatment sector, which has enormous growth potential. The demand for diaphragm pumps is rising as a result of rising investments in the region's pharmaceutical industry.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the substantial demand from the chemical, petrochemical, food, and beverage industries. Additionally, the Middle East and Africa need more sophisticated water and wastewater management, which will increase the need for diaphragm pumps in these regions. Due to the absence of freshwater sources, the area has a significant number of water and wastewater treatment facilities. Population growth is anticipated to increase demand for freshwater, which will further fuel the market.
