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.
