Positive Displacement Pumps Market Report 2026

The positive displacement pumps market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.33 billion in 2025 to $13.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in industrial fluid processing, expansion of oil and gas operations, increased wastewater treatment investments, rising demand for accurate dosing systems, adoption of pumps in chemical manufacturing.

The positive displacement pumps market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure, rising demand for energy efficient pumping systems, growth in pharmaceutical production, increasing automation in process industries, demand for advanced fluid handling in food processing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high viscosity fluid handling solutions, rising demand for precision metering and dosing pumps, growing use of positive displacement pumps in industrial automation, expansion of energy efficient pump designs, increasing focus on reliability in high pressure applications.

The growth of the positive displacement pumps market is anticipated to be driven by the rising activities in oil and gas exploration. Oil and gas exploration encompasses the methods and techniques used to locate potential sites for drilling and extracting hydrocarbons. In the oil and gas industry, positive displacement pumps are utilized for various applications, including pipelines, pumping stations, cooling loops, heat exchanger circulation, water supply, drainage, and refrigeration systems. For example, in June 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental economic organization, stated that global oil demand is projected to increase by 6% from 2022 to 2028, reaching 105.7 million barrels per day (mb/d), bolstered by strong demand from the petrochemical and aviation industries. Consequently, the rising oil and gas exploration activities are propelling the growth of the positive displacement pumps market.

Leading companies in the positive displacement pumps market are introducing new energy-saving pumps, such as rotary vane vacuum pumps, across different industries to enhance their market position. A rotary vane vacuum pump is a mechanical device designed to generate a vacuum by employing a series of vanes (blades) mounted on a rotor that spins inside a cylindrical chamber. For instance, in August 2023, Edwards Vacuum, a UK-based manufacturer of vacuum pumps and exhaust gas management systems, launched the E2S series, a new oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pump tailored for low and medium vacuum applications in both industry and research. With a pumping speed of 90 m³/h and an ultimate vacuum of 3 x 10⁻³ mbar, the E2S series provides energy efficiency and operates quietly. Its modern design prioritizes user-friendly handling, intuitive operation, and ergonomic features. The pump is equipped with low-noise plain bearings, an integrated oil pump for continuous lubrication, and additional features like Duo Seal and gas ballast to enhance tolerance to water vapor.

In December 2023, Atlas Copco Group, a Sweden-based manufacturer of compressors and vacuum solutions, acquired KRACHT GmbH (Kracht) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Atlas Copco Group's product portfolio and market presence in the flow control sector by incorporating KRACHT GmbH's expertise in precision metering and dosing technology, thus reinforcing its position in providing innovative solutions to customers. KRACHT GmbH (Kracht) is a Germany-based company specializing in the manufacture of positive displacement pumps.
