The global progressive cavity pump market size reached a value of USD 5.17 Billion in 2024. During the forecast period of between 2025 and 2034, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.20% to reach a value of around USD 8.58 Billion by 2034.
The installation of wastewater treatment facilities is anticipated to increase due to the rising need for fresh water sources and the consequent shortage of such sources, which is anticipated to enhance demand in this market. The development of new water treatment facilities is anticipated to be encouraged by the expanding worldwide population and a rise in water demand across a variety of industries, which will enable the progressive cavity pump market expansion.
Owing to the rising usage of progressive cavity pumps in the oil and gas industry for oil recovery and other upstream processes, the oil and gas segment is also anticipated to have considerable growth in the near future. The high viscosity of heavy or extra-heavy oil typically necessitates the use of special production methods, and progressive cavity pumps are made to handle the most challenging pumping situations and highly viscous fluids.
The key factors influencing the growth of the market for progressive cavity pumps in Asia Pacific are increasing investments in water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, and expansion of numerous industries, including power, chemicals, oil and gas. Other market contributing factors are an increase in infrastructure development projects, particularly in India and China, and a growing need for proper sanitation with rising standards of living and urbanisation.
The Middle East and Africa are projected to be a key region for the progressive cavity pump market. The demand for these pumps in this region is anticipated to rise as conservative methods of crude oil recovery have been modified to optimise production from current reserves. For applications involving oil pumping, these pumps are necessary. The growth of the worldwide progressive cavity pump market is anticipated to be aided by increased investment in the oil and gas sector to increase well yields and create new applications in other sectors.
Other market players include CIRCOR International‚ Inc. and ChampionX Corporation, among others.
Key Trends in the Market
A progressive cavity pump is a type of positive displacement pump made to handle fluids with a high viscosity and particularly challenging pumping applications. Although it is a flexible pump that may be utilised for many different tasks, it is mostly created and employed for metering chemicals and pumping viscous, challenging, or shear-sensitive fluids. Progressive cavity (PC) pumps, like all positive displacement pumps, are flow-generating devices.- The global progressive cavity pump market is expanding as a result of the expanding use of progressive cavity pumps in a number of end-use industries, including oil and gas, water and wastewater management, chemicals, and petrochemicals. These pumps are used by a variety of industrial operators in these sectors to discharge highly viscous material at constant flow rates. Additionally, using progressive cavity pumps allows plant operators to save significant amounts of energy, money on maintenance, and downtime when compared to alternative methods.
- Various industries use PC pumps to increase industrial process recovery. Changes in system performance and operational parameters, such as motor speed, can cause damage to the pump and jeopardise the constant and dependable operation of the system. Altering the pump speed might also lessen process optimisation. These elements will likely fuel the market expansion.
- The progressive cavity pump market is predicted to see lucrative growth prospects as the number of smart cities increase globally. The development of smart cities globally is anticipated to open up substantial commercial prospects for providers of smart water management solutions, which is anticipated to expand the use of progressive cavity pumps.
- Governments in many nations are concentrating on improving wastewater management to control emissions and contaminants. This is helping to drive the market coupled with increased environmental awareness and a rise in the number of wastewater treatment facilities globally.
