Axial Flow Pump Market Report 2026

The axial flow pump market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $34.58 billion in 2025 to $36.11 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of agricultural irrigation projects, growth of municipal water treatment facilities, increasing use in power plant cooling systems, rising investments in flood control infrastructure, wider adoption in sewage management.

The axial flow pump market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for smart water management solutions, rising focus on water conservation initiatives, expansion of renewable energy projects, growing adoption in climate-resilient infrastructure, increasing investments in automation of pumping systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of high-capacity water transfer systems, rising adoption of energy-efficient pump designs, growing integration of smart monitoring and control systems, expansion of large-scale irrigation infrastructure, enhanced focus on pump reliability and durability.

The rising demand for freshwater is significantly driving the growth of the axial flow pump market. Axial flow pumps are designed to move large volumes of liquid efficiently from sources like rivers, lakes, and wells to treatment plants, irrigation systems, flood control, and drainage applications, delivering high flow rates with minimal turbulence. For instance, in June 2025, according to the Environment Agency, a UK-based government department, England is projected to face a daily shortfall of 5 billion liters for public water supplies by 2055, with an additional 1 billion liters deficit for the wider economy, driven by climate change, population growth, technological demands, and environmental protection requirements. Approximately £8 billion ($9.8 billion) has already been committed to water-sector investments over the next five years. Therefore, the rising demand for freshwater is propelling the axial flow pump market.

Major companies in the axial flow pump market are focusing on advancements such as reinforced thermoplastic pipe systems to enhance operational efficiency, reduce installation time, and support sustainable fluid transport in demanding industrial settings. A reinforced thermoplastic pipe system is a flexible, non-metallic piping solution designed to withstand high pressures and corrosive conditions while offering faster deployment and lower lifecycle costs compared to steel pipelines. For instance, in November 2023, Baker Hughes, a US-based axial flow pump and energy technology company, launched its PythonPipe portfolio, a reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) solution that enables faster installation, shorter time to first production, and reduced lifecycle emissions. PythonPipe includes API 15s-certified flexible RTP in multiple sizes and materials, achieving up to a 60% reduction in installation time, one-fifth the cost of comparable steel systems, up to 75% lower carbon emissions, up to 80% lower maintenance costs, and up to 60% less manpower required.

In July 2024, Compass Group Equity Partners, a US-based private equity firm, recapitalized Integrity Pump & Motor for an undisclosed amount. This transaction strengthens Integrity’s capabilities in high-capacity industrial water pump manufacturing, enhancing production capacity and product offerings across industrial, municipal, and mining water-handling applications. Integrity Pump & Motor is a US-based manufacturer of custom-engineered pumps, including vertical and submersible turbine pumps, centrifugal pumps, and axial and mixed flow pumps for large-scale water operations.
