Submersible pumps are devices specifically designed to operate while fully submerged in liquids, such as water or other fluids. They function by pushing liquid to the surface through a sealed motor that prevents leakage or damage. These pumps are widely used in applications including drainage, sewage pumping, and well water extraction.
The main types of submersible pumps include non-clog submersible pumps, open well submersible pumps, and bore well submersible pumps. Non-clog submersible pumps are engineered to handle liquids containing solid particles or debris without becoming clogged. Drive types for these pumps include electric, hydraulic, and others, while the head ranges from below 50 meters, 50 to 100 meters, and above 100 meters. These pumps find applications across various industries, such as water and wastewater management, oil and gas, construction, mining, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.
The submersible pumps market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides submersible pumps market statistics, including submersible pumps industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a submersible pumps market share, detailed submersible pumps market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the submersible pumps industry. This submersible pumps market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The submersible pumps market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.68 billion in 2024 to $14.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use in wastewater treatment, increasing use in the construction of homes, growth in emphasis on sustainable and energy-efficient technologies, increase in industrial activities, and surge in the construction industry.
The submersible pumps market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.49 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing agricultural and industrial activities, growing demand for electricity, increasing irrigation activities, rising urbanization, and rising measures to treat and reuse discharged wastewater. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in energy-efficient models, advancements in smart pump technologies, integration of IoT for real-time monitoring, innovative wastewater management solutions, improved corrosion-resistant materials, and adoption of solar-powered submersible pumps.
The forecast of 6.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on impellers, electric motors, and seal kits imported from China and India, potentially hindering water supply and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated growth in agricultural activities is expected to drive the expansion of the submersible pumps market in the future. Agriculture encompasses the cultivation of crops and the raising of animals for food, fiber, and other essential products. This sector includes farming, livestock, forestry, and fishing, all of which play a vital role in the global economy. The rise in agricultural activities is primarily due to increasing global food demand, advancements in technology, and the expansion of arable land. Submersible pumps are utilized in agriculture to efficiently draw water from wells, rivers, or reservoirs for irrigation and crop management. For example, in February 2024, data from the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK-based government agency, indicated that the agricultural sector experienced a 3.4% increase from 2021 to 2022. Thus, the growing agricultural activities are driving the demand for submersible pumps.
Leading companies in the submersible pumps market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as higher-efficiency pumps, to enhance their competitive position. Higher-efficiency submersible pumps are designed to optimize energy usage while providing ideal water flow and pressure. For instance, in February 2022, Shakti Pumps India Limited, an Indian manufacturer of submersible pumps, launched a 4-inch plug-and-play submersible pump. This innovative design allows for quick installation without the need for complicated wiring or setup. Users can simply connect the pump to a power source and begin using it immediately, thus reducing downtime and labor costs.
In January 2022, Industrial Flow Solutions LLC, a US-based pump manufacturer, acquired Dreno Pompe S.p.A. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is a strategic move that enhances Industrial Flow Solutions' growth potential by expanding its product portfolio, increasing market presence, and improving operational efficiency. Dreno Pompe S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer specializing in high-quality electrical submersible pumps for wastewater applications.
