The global submersible pumps market size is anticipated to reach USD 17.50 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2023 to 2030. The market is influenced by factors such as increasing demand for efficient water supply systems, agricultural irrigation needs, and growing urbanization leading to higher construction activities. In addition, technological advancements, improved energy efficiency, and the expansion of industries like mining and wastewater treatment contribute to the market's growth. For instance, 4-inch Plug and Play Submersible Pumps were introduced by Shakti Pumps (India) Limited in February 2022. The product can be used without a control box because of its low operating cost and improved efficiency design.
Furthermore, environmental concerns and the need for sustainable water management practices also drive the adoption of submersible pumps. Moreover, in the U.S., the submersible pump market has experienced growth due to factors like rising demand for water & wastewater management solutions, agricultural irrigation needs, and infrastructure development projects. The emphasis on energy efficiency and the replacement of older pump systems with more advanced and eco-friendly submersible pumps have also driven market expansion.
Increasing investments in water infrastructure projects, including water supply and wastewater treatment, stimulate the demand for submersible pumps. For instance, President Biden signed the bicameral Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in November 2021. This USD 1 trillion infrastructure expenditure included USD 60 billion in funding for water projects. Moreover, aging water systems and the need for efficient water management contribute to market growth. These aforementioned factors are anticipated to propel the demand for the market.
The agriculture sector's expansion, driven by growing population needs for food, has led to increased use of submersible pumps for irrigation. These pumps offer efficient water delivery to farmlands, contributing to higher agricultural productivity. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, construction spending in the country in May 2023 was USD 1,925.6 billion, more than the construction spending of USD 1,909.0 billion witnessed in the U.S. in April 2023. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and ongoing construction projects necessitate reliable water supply and drainage systems. Submersible pumps play a crucial role in managing water in urban areas and supporting construction and development activities.
Continuous advancements in pump technologies, including improved energy efficiency, remote monitoring capabilities, and durability, encourage industries to upgrade their pump systems, driving market growth. For instance, in May 2021, KSB Group launched AmaDrainer 3 type series submersible pumps, which have a compact design, integrated float switch, and low-water level intake, among other things.
Increasing awareness of environmental sustainability prompts industries to adopt eco-friendly solutions. Submersible pumps, with their efficiency and reduced environmental impact, align with these concerns, fostering market growth. Furthermore, supportive government policies such as the Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Water Act, and Water Prevention and Control of Pollution Act, 1974 related to water conservation, infrastructure development, and agricultural modernization can significantly boost the demand for submersible pumps.
Manufacturers of submersible pumps are looking for product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and expansions to develop new products. For minor duties, Sulzer Ltd. introduced new pumps such as the J4, J7, JS4, and JS8 models, in September 2022. The new J7, JS4, J4, JS7, and JS8 versions, denoted by the letter "J" for drainage and "JS" for sludge, offer flow rates starting at 5.5 l/s with heads as high as 16 m. They are simple to move between sites and set up for work thanks to their lightweight structure and sleek form.
