Pumped the brakes: Competition from larger players and weak demand have drained SME revenue

Trading conditions for pump and compressor manufacturers have been mixed. Relying on demand from downstream markets, manufacturers have had to deal with the flow-on effects of the pandemic, which disrupted trading activity and led to subdued demand.

The oil and gas sector also suffered from stay-at-home restrictions limiting demand for fuel. Volatility in downstream markets created challenging times for manufacturers and ultimately weakened industry revenue.Industry firms manufacture pumps and pumping systems.
