According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Volute Pumps Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period. Volute pumps are centrifugal pumps designed for efficient fluid movement in various industrial and municipal applications. They feature a spiral-shaped casing (volute) that converts kinetic energy from the impeller into pressure. As fluid enters the pump, it's accelerated by the impeller, then directed into the volute casing, where the velocity is converted into pressure. This design enhances hydraulic efficiency by minimizing turbulence and pressure losses. Volute pumps are favored for their robustness, handling diverse fluids with solids, and their suitability for high-flow, low-head applications like sewage systems, irrigation, and drainage.
Rising demand from end-use industries
Various sectors such as water and wastewater treatment, power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and construction rely heavily on volute pumps for their fluid handling needs. As these industries expand globally, driven by population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and stringent environmental regulations, the demand for efficient pumping solutions like volute pumps continues to rise. Specifically, in water and wastewater treatment, volute pumps are essential for conveying liquids, sludge, and abrasive materials, supporting efficient and reliable operations boosting the market growth.
Fluctuating raw material prices
Volute pumps are typically constructed from materials like stainless steel, cast iron, and various alloys, any volatility in the prices of these raw materials directly impacts manufacturing costs. Manufacturers may face increased production expenses, which can lead to higher pump prices for consumers or reduced profit margins if costs cannot be fully passed on. Moreover, fluctuating raw material prices can disrupt supply chains and inventory management hindering the market growth.
Growing construction activities
Construction projects require efficient water management systems for activities such as dewatering, groundwater control, and wastewater treatment. Volute pumps play a crucial role in these applications, offering robust performance and reliability in handling large volumes of water and slurry. Thus as urbanization and infrastructure development continue to expand globally, especially in emerging economies across Asia Pacific and Latin America, the demand for volute pumps is expected to rise.
Competition from alternative pump technologies
Technologies such as diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, and screw pumps offer advantages like precise fluid handling, lower maintenance requirements, and suitability for specific applications like dosing and metering. These alternatives often compete directly with volute pumps in sectors such as water treatment, where efficiency and reliability are crucial. Additionally, newer technologies may offer energy efficiency benefits or reduced environmental impact, influencing purchasing decisions among end-users.
Supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, and decreased industrial activities globally. However, as economies adapted and industries resumed operations, there was a rebound in demand driven by infrastructure projects, particularly in water treatment and sanitation. The pandemic also accelerated digital transformation and remote monitoring solutions in the pump industry.
The stainless steel volute pumps segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The stainless steel volute pumps is expected to be the largest during the forecast period because stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, durability, and hygiene, making it highly suitable for diverse industrial applications, including water treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. Further steel volute pumps have expanded due to increased demand for reliable and long-lasting pumping solutions in harsh and corrosive environments.
The water & wastewater treatment segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The water & wastewater treatment segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period as these processes require reliable pumps like volute pumps to handle various fluids and sludge effectively. Increasing global emphasis on environmental regulations and water conservation has intensified the need for advanced treatment technologies, further boosting the market for volute pumps.
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to growing focus on water infrastructure and stricter regulations are driving demand for efficient pumps in this sector. Moreover high levels of construction activity, particularly in the United States and Canada, create a strong demand for concrete pumps. Thus North American manufacturers are at the forefront of volute pump technology, developing more efficient, reliable, and durable pumps, increasing their attractiveness.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to the booming economies of countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia are experiencing a surge in industrial activity, which heavily relies on volute pumps in various sectors like manufacturing, power generation, and chemicals. Further government policies promoting domestic manufacturing and industrial upgrades can further incentivize the production and adoption of volute pumps within the region.
