Membrane Pump Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis By Pressure (Up-to 80 Bar, 80-200 Bar, Above 200 Bar), By Mechanism (Air-operated, Electricity-operated), By Application (Oil & Gas, Chemical & Petrochemical, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Beverages, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A membrane pump is a positive displacement electrical appliance that moves fluid into and out of a pump chamber. It's most well-known for its suction lift capabilities. The pump works by adjusting the pressure and flow rates determined by the chamber and membranes sizes. The pressure is reduced when the diaphragm expands, allowing the fluid to stream in. They're also utilized in aircraft, vehicles, and the pharmaceutical industry to generate pressure for cleaning and spraying purposes.

A membrane pump can handle clean liquids with low viscosity. Over the forecast period, rising investments in water treatment facilities and the oil & gas industry are likely to be the primary drivers of the membrane pumps market globally. Rising demand for fresh water due to increasing population, rapid industrialization, and urbanization create new paved ways for generating revenue in the market.

Moreover, the rising oil &gas demand and increasing offshore ultra-deepwater projects are significant aspects in opening up new revenue streams in the membrane pump market.

• KNF, a manufacturer of membrane pumps, has added the FP 70 to its smooth flow liquid pump line to meet a demand for pumps with lower pulsation.

However, technical improvements in alternative pump options, such as solar pumps, are expected to hinder the market during the projected period. Water hammering can occur with air-operated double-membrane pumps, limiting their use and preventing the market's expansion. Furthermore, membrane pumps suffer from pulsation, which causes vibration, restricts their use in specific applications.

Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period. The market has grown due to increased foreign direct investment and fast urbanization. Furthermore, the increased demand for energy fuel due to a large population can boost demand for this product.

• Approximately two-thirds of the world's population lives in locations where water scarcity occurs at least once a year. Some part of the emerging economies in the Asia Pacific region, like China and India, is suffering from the requirement of water. As a result, demand for wastewater treatment is predicted to increase water efficiency and meet water demands, leading to the demand for membrane pumps in this region.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE MEMBRANE PUMP MARKET

Covid-19 outbreak affecting the global supply chain, lack of available workforce, lockdown measures hampered the overall production level. The lockdown measures implemented in various countries, the oil and gas, construction, and water treatment industries have seen temporary disruptions. Due to economic uncertainty, governments have reduced the number of subsidiaries for membrane pumps. However, after the lockdown, the situation is likely to improve.

ANALYSIS BY PRESSURE

Based on the pressure the global market is divided into up to 80 bar, 80-200 bar, and more than 200 bar. The up-to 80 bar segments hold the largest share globally compared with the other segments as it has a wide range of applications in wastewater treatment. 80-200 bar and more than 200 bar simultaneously leading the market share due to its numerous advantages in the large scale industries.

ANALYSIS BY MECHANISM

Based on the mechanism, the global market is divided into air-operated and electrical-operated. In 2020, the air-operated segment held the major share of the global market. The air-operated segment is expected to increase rapidly in the near future, as it has numerous applications in the chemical, oil & gas, in pharmaceutical industries. The electrically driven segment is suited for applications requiring minimum pulsation and smooth flow. Instead of compressed air, it is powered by electricity, such as an electric motor.

ANALYSIS BY APPLICATION

Based on the application, the global market is divided into oil & gas, chemicals & petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and others. Oil & gas segments are dominating the global market. In addition, the focus on safe sewage and effluent disposal in various oil & gas industries are likely to drive demand for membrane pumps globally. Membrane pump demand is directly tied to the chemical sectors' wastewater, water, and sanitation. Membrane pumps are expected to expand in popularity also in the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage sectors over the forecast period.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS
