Positive displacement pumps (PD pumps) are mechanical devices designed to displace a specific quantity of liquid with each pump revolution or cycle. These pumps find utility primarily in handling high-viscosity fluids. Besides their use in applications requiring precise metering or dosing, they are also employed in high-pressure washing and wastewater treatment processes.
The primary categories of positive displacement pumps encompass rotary pumps, reciprocating pumps, and other variants. Rotary pumps function by pumping a fixed volume of fluid through a set number of revolutions. Various raw materials like bronze, cast iron, polycarbonate, stainless steel, and others are utilized in their construction. These pumps cater to diverse end-user industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, among others.

The positive displacement pumps market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.89 billion in 2024 to $12.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization and manufacturing growth, expansion of oil and gas exploration, water and wastewater treatment needs, chemical processing industry growth, pharmaceutical manufacturing requirements, food and beverage processing demand, power generation applications, mining and mineral processing operations.
The positive displacement pumps market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in renewable energy projects, expanding role in hygienic applications, smart pumping systems integration, focus on water conservation, demand for oilfield services, growing importance in HVAC systems, increased investment in infrastructure, advanced materials for pump construction. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of IoT and smart technologies, rise of industry 4.0 and digitalization, seal-less pump designs, eco-friendly pumping solutions, adoption of twin-screw pumps, pumping viscous and non-Newtonian fluids, customized pump solutions, retrofitting and upgradation initiatives.
The growth of the positive displacement pumps market is anticipated to be driven by the rising activities in oil and gas exploration. Oil and gas exploration encompasses the methods and techniques used to locate potential sites for drilling and extracting hydrocarbons. In the oil and gas industry, positive displacement pumps are utilized for various applications, including pipelines, pumping stations, cooling loops, heat exchanger circulation, water supply, drainage, and refrigeration systems. For example, in June 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental economic organization, stated that global oil demand is projected to increase by 6% from 2022 to 2028, reaching 105.7 million barrels per day (mb/d), bolstered by strong demand from the petrochemical and aviation industries. Consequently, the rising oil and gas exploration activities are propelling the growth of the positive displacement pumps market.
The anticipated growth of the positive displacement pumps market is expected to be fueled by increased chemical production. A chemical is defined as a substance with a specific molecular composition produced by or utilized in a chemical process. In chemical manufacturing, positive displacement pumps are frequently employed for precise and controlled fluid transfer, ensuring accurate dosing and efficient processing. For example, in April 2022, the Fourth Quarter Economic Report 2021 by the Chemical Industries Association (CIA), a UK-based trade association, noted that UK chemical production grew by 1.0% in 2022, followed by a growth of 2.2% in 2023, with projections for a 2.3% increase in 2024. Therefore, the rise in chemical production is driving the positive displacement pumps market.
Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the positive displacement pumps market. Leading companies in the industry are focusing on developing innovative products to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in August 2022, Lee Company, a US-based industrial machinery manufacturer, introduced its latest high-performance miniature pump and control package. This cutting-edge product incorporates control electronics that provide exceptional flexibility within a compact and lightweight design. It boasts features such as self-priming capability at altitude, fully variable speed control, and ease of installation, while also minimizing the risk of cavitation at high altitudes. Additionally, the pump module is equipped with intelligence for monitoring pump speed, motor current, and faults. By leveraging advanced fluid control technology, Lee Company optimizes size and enhances performance, thereby expanding its distinct and well-established range of miniature radial piston-designed displacement pumps.
Leading companies in the positive displacement pumps market are introducing new energy-saving pumps, such as rotary vane vacuum pumps, across different industries to enhance their market position. A rotary vane vacuum pump is a mechanical device designed to generate a vacuum by employing a series of vanes (blades) mounted on a rotor that spins inside a cylindrical chamber. For instance, in August 2023, Edwards Vacuum, a UK-based manufacturer of vacuum pumps and exhaust gas management systems, launched the E2S series, a new oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pump tailored for low and medium vacuum applications in both industry and research. With a pumping speed of 90 m3/h and an ultimate vacuum of 3 x 10-3 mbar, the E2S series provides energy efficiency and operates quietly. Its modern design prioritizes user-friendly handling, intuitive operation, and ergonomic features. The pump is equipped with low-noise plain bearings, an integrated oil pump for continuous lubrication, and additional features like Duo Seal and gas ballast to enhance tolerance to water vapor.
In December 2023, Atlas Copco Group, a Sweden-based manufacturer of compressors and vacuum solutions, acquired KRACHT GmbH (Kracht) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Atlas Copco Group's product portfolio and market presence in the flow control sector by incorporating KRACHT GmbH's expertise in precision metering and dosing technology, thus reinforcing its position in providing innovative solutions to customers. KRACHT GmbH (Kracht) is a Germany-based company specializing in the manufacture of positive displacement pumps.
