Growing Wastewater Treatment Projects Bolster Middle East & Africa Hydraulic Pumps Market
Municipal wastewater treatment operations are continuously evolving to replace and upgrade aging infrastructure. Countries across the globe are sustainably investing in wastewater treatment activities, which is expected to create opportunities in the market. For instance, in 2024, Egypt's Minister of International Cooperation inked a US$ 53.6 million (50 million) funding agreement with the French Development Agency (AFD), in addition to a further grant of US$ 1.6 million (1.5 million). The partnership seeks to facilitate the completion of the Al Gabal Al Asfar Wastewater Treatment Plant's third phase.According to Hassan Allam Holding, the 1,800,000 m3/day wastewater treatment plant in Cairo is the biggest in the MENA region. Additionally, in February 2024, a ~US$ 434 million investment plans was introduced by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for Morocco's water sector, which has been experiencing significant difficulties as a result of the country's drought and water crises. The purpose of this funding is wastewater treatment and reuse.
Piston pumps are widely used in wastewater treatment plants. These pumps move liquids through a cylinder or hose and then transfer high-viscosity liquids, such as pastes or sludges. The pump allows consistent collection and separation of solid waste from liquid. It effectively removes large debris and sediments throughout the wastewater treatment cycle, which is expected to increase its adoption in the near future. Growing number of wastewater treatment projects and increasing investment in wastewater treatment plants are expected to boost the hydraulic pumps market growth during the forecast period.
Middle East & Africa Hydraulic Pumps Market Overview
Geographically, the hydraulic pumps market in the Middle East & Africa is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The demand for cars among consumers is increasing in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia and Dubai, which creates opportunities for hydraulic pump market players to streamline business operations. The demand for luxury cars is growing in Dubai, which increases the demand for hydraulic pumps among luxury car manufacturers. The pumps are in demand in luxury cars for various purposes, including active suspension systems, convertible roofs, and power steering.Hydraulic pumps offer smooth and precise operation in luxury cars by providing a high-end driving experience and comfort to the drivers. The government of Dubai estimated that the city will have 18 million cars and 9 million commercial vehicles by the end of 2023. The rising demand for cars and commercial vehicles has increased the adoption of hydraulic pumps among automotive manufacturers, propelling the market growth.
The market in North Africa is projected to grow in the near future due to the growing agricultural activities. Hydraulic pumps offer significant benefits to precise and smart agriculture. For instance, as per the GSM Association Report 2021, smart agriculture activities have the potential to reduce the ecological footprint of farming and reduce costs by increasing agricultural productivity in the countries of North Africa. The government of Morocco is prioritizing smart farming by launching its "Green Generation 2020-2030" strategy, which includes the introduction of new technologies, precise and smart farming, and digitalization in the agricultural sector.
Hydraulic pumps are used in numerous agricultural equipment and machinery, including tractors, harvesting equipment, and irrigation systems. The use of hydraulic pumps in precision agriculture helps farmers control the working of tractors, such as lifting, lowering, and controlling numerous tools attached to them. However, significant benefits offered by hydraulic pumps to increase yield productivity are driving the market.
