Positive Displacement Pumps Market Growth & Trends

The global positive displacement pumps market size is estimated to reach USD 26.53 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Positive displacement pumps are crucial components in various industrial applications, and their efficiency is influenced by several driving factors. One key factor is the nature of positive displacement, ensuring a consistent flow regardless of system pressure. The ability to handle high-viscosity fluids and maintain a steady flow rate under varying conditions makes them ideal for processes requiring precision and reliability. In addition, these pumps are often preferred due to their self-priming capabilities, making them effective in situations where a suction lift is necessary.

The product versatility in accommodating different fluids, from thin liquids to highly viscous substances, further contributes to their widespread use in industries, such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and food production. Moreover, advancements in design and materials, as well as the integration of innovative technologies, continue to enhance the efficiency, durability, and overall performance of positive displacement pumps, making them indispensable for critical industrial processes. In industries, such as oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, these pumps are favored for their ability to handle shear-sensitive fluids and provide a consistent output. For instance, positive displacement pumps, such as gear or reciprocating pumps, are commonly used to transfer crude oil from production sites to refineries through pipelines.
