The demand for efficient pumping systems, such as vertical immersion pumps, intensifies as these sectors require robust solutions for fluid handling and circulation. According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), global manufacturing production increased by 9.4% in 2021, and Goldman Sachs reports a significant growth of 210% in the Indian manufacturing sector during the fiscal year 2021-2022. These figures underscore the substantial growth and investment in manufacturing industries, driving the demand for vertical immersion pumps.

Major companies in the vertical immersion pumps market are concentrating on developing technologically advanced solutions, such as pumps and filtration systems, to improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in fluid handling applications across various industries. Pumps and filtration systems are specialized equipment designed to move and purify fluids in different industrial processes. These solutions enhance operational efficiency, ensure reliability, and promote sustainability by optimizing fluid management and minimizing waste. For example, in February 2024, Hendor, a manufacturing company based in the Netherlands, introduced the D43 series vertical pumps to boost energy efficiency and sustainability in industrial applications, particularly within the gas scrubbing and pretreatment powder coating sectors. These pumps offer improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs, making them an environmentally friendly option for various uses. Furthermore, their compact design and sturdy construction ensure reliable performance and easy maintenance, contributing to a longer service life and lower environmental impact.

Leading companies in the vertical immersion pump market are placing a strategic emphasis on the development of energy-efficient pumps to enhance their market positioning. Energy-efficient pumps are designed and operated with the aim of minimizing energy consumption while ensuring optimal performance. The adoption of energy-efficient pumps serves to reduce waste, resource consumption, operating costs, and extends the lifespan of pumping equipment. Diverse technologies and practices are employed in energy-efficient pumps to enhance overall efficiency. For instance, in March 2022, Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), an India-based pump manufacturer, introduced a new generation of pumps designed for irrigation purposes. These pumps, manufactured with advanced technology, exhibit reduced energy consumption while maintaining high performance. Notably, KBL's energy-efficient pumps contribute to lower maintenance and lifecycle costs. The submersible range of pumps offered by the company is capable of drawing water from deep borewells, providing a reliable solution for farmers even when the water table goes below a certain level.

In April 2022, Atlas Copco, a Sweden-based manufacturer of industrial tools and equipment, acquired Pumpenfabrik Wangen GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to establish a strong foundation for further growth in new industrial pump segments. Pumpenfabrik Wangen is a Germany-based manufacturer of progressive cavity pumps primarily used for transferring fluids in the biogas and wastewater sectors.

Vertical immersion pumps represent a type of pumping technology characterized by an elongated shaft housed within a column, effectively segregating the motor from the pump and allowing the motor to remain external to the fluid being pumped. These pumps are specifically designed to replace counterparts that necessitate priming, suction, or submersion in tanks or pits for operation.

The primary products within the vertical immersion pump category include line shaft pumps (VS-4) and cantilever pumps (VS-5). Line shaft pumps (VS-4) find frequent application across industrial and agricultural sectors. They are crafted from materials such as PP (GFR), PVDF, cast iron, ductile cast iron, WCB, among others. These pumps come in various capacities ranging from up to 100 m3/hr, 100 to 500 m3/hr, 500 to 1000 m3/hr, and exceeding 1000 m3/hr. These diverse capacities cater to an array of applications including irrigation, potable water supply, water cooling, dewatering, geothermal wells, as well as the transfer of oils, fuels, lubricants, and other fluids.
