Market size
The global pump market was valued at $57.6 billion in 2025, while U.S. pump and compressor manufacturing shipments reached $30.5 billion in 2024. The U.S. shipment figure covers NAICS 33391, which includes pumps, compressors and related equipment.[81][82]
Forecast & CAGR
The global pump market is projected to increase from $59.9 billion in 2026 to $92.5 billion in 2035, representing a 4.9% CAGR. A separate industrial-pumps estimate projects growth from $49.5 billion in 2026 to $72.9 billion in 2033 at a 5.7% CAGR.[81][83]
Market share & regions
Asia-Pacific was the largest regional market in 2025, accounting for 46.1% of global industrial-pump revenue. In the broader pump market, Asia-Pacific was also identified as the largest and fastest-growing region for 2025–2035.[83][81]
Segmentation
Pump demand is commonly segmented by product into centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps, and by application into water and wastewater, oil and gas, chemicals, construction, power generation and mining. In a 2024 global market estimate, agricultural pumps represented $60.2 billion, industrial pumps $7.7 billion and residential pumps $5.1 billion, although these segment figures use a market definition different from industrial-pump reports.[83][84]
Key players & concentration
The 10 largest pump manufacturers accounted for 43% of the 2023 market in KSB’s industry presentation, leaving 57% to other suppliers. Grundfos held 9.1%, Xylem 7.8%, KSB 5.0% and Flowserve 4.3%.[68]
Pricing
The U.S. producer price index for industrial pumps excluding hydraulic-fluid-power pumps reached 428.362 in September 2026 on a seasonally adjusted 1982=100 basis. The industry-level index for measuring, dispensing and other pumping-equipment manufacturing was 407.387 in September 2026 on a December 1983=100 basis.[85]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Growth is being supported by water and wastewater investment, industrialization, infrastructure development, energy-efficiency requirements and digital controls such as IoT and AI. Manufacturers also face material-cost volatility, tariff exposure and the need to meet increasingly stringent efficiency and environmental requirements.[84][86]
Consumer behavior & competition
Competition is increasingly based on energy efficiency, controls, reliability, qualification capability and lifecycle service rather than equipment price alone. The market remains fragmented because suppliers must serve different pump types, duty conditions, end markets, channels and regional service requirements.[81][80]
M&A
M&A remains active across pumps, water treatment and flow control. Xylem completed its acquisition of Cornell Pump and Roper Pump in 2026, while Grundfos agreed in June 2025 to acquire Newterra, a North American water and wastewater-treatment company.[20][39]
Regulation
In the United States, certain pumps manufactured and distributed in commerce must meet federal energy-conservation standards under 10 CFR 431.465. Water-treatment demand is also affected by PFAS regulation; in May 2026, the EPA proposed allowing qualifying systems up to two additional years, through 2031, to comply with PFOA and PFOS limits.[80][87]
Latest news
On September 10, 2026, the latest U.S. Census-based series reported 2024 pump and compressor manufacturing shipments of $30.5 billion, up from $29.3 billion in 2023. Xylem also announced in 2026 that Cornell Pump and Roper Pump would be reported in its Flow Solutions segment beginning in January 2027.[82][20]

Key questions about the pump manufacturing industry

How large is the global pump market, and what is the 2026 outlook?
The global pump market was valued at $57.6 billion in 2025. It is projected to rise to $59.9 billion in 2026, with a 4.9% CAGR from 2026–2035.
What growth rate applies to industrial-pumps demand versus the overall market?
The overall market forecast implies 4.9% CAGR from 2026–2035. A separate industrial-pumps estimate projects growth from $49.5 billion in 2026 to $72.9 billion in 2033 at a 5.7% CAGR.
Which companies lead the pump manufacturing industry?
EBARA leads Gitnux's 2026 pump manufacturing ranking with an Overall score of 9.6, with custom, standard, infrastructure and vacuum pumps in its businesses. Xylem is the highest-ranked pump and filtration supplier at 9.5, with water and wastewater pumps as major products across its applied-water portfolio.
How are technology shifts showing up in pump manufacturing operations?
Manufacturers increasingly deploy digital monitoring and digital controls such as IoT and AI. Survey and project figures include 24 weeks to configure an enterprise-grade production AI application and 4 days to onboard and deploy machine-learning models for new assets.
Is the pump market concentrated or fragmented among suppliers?
The 10 largest pump manufacturers accounted for 43% of the 2023 market, leaving 57% to other suppliers. This indicates fragmentation because suppliers must cover different pump types, duty conditions, end markets, channels and regional service requirements.
What constraints or compliance factors affect pump products in the U.S.?
In the U.S., certain pumps must meet federal energy-conservation standards under 10 CFR 431.465. Water-treatment demand is also affected by PFAS regulation; in May 2026 the EPA proposed allowing qualifying systems up to two additional years, through 2031, to comply with PFOA and PFOS limits.
