Axial Flow Pump Global Market Report 2025

Axial flow pumps, often referred to as propeller pumps, utilize centrifugal force through an impeller to propel liquids. This process generates pump pressure by harnessing the momentum and velocity of the fluid. They find widespread use in dewatering, irrigation processes, and fluid circulation in applications such as sewage digesters, power plants, and evaporators, where there's a requirement for high discharge or flow rates at relatively low pressure levels.

The primary types of axial flow pumps include horizontal and vertical configurations. Horizontal axial flow pumps feature a rotational axis positioned horizontally and are commonly utilized in applications such as irrigation, flood control, and drainage, where high flow rates are needed at low heads. These pumps are extensively applied in water treatment, irrigation systems, evaporators, and various industries including chemical, municipal services, pulp and paper production, agriculture, food and beverage, among others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.

The axial flow pump market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides axial flow pump market statistics, including axial flow pump industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an axial flow pump market share, detailed axial flow pump market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the axial flow pump industry. This axial flow pump market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The axial flow pump market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $33.68 billion in 2024 to $34.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization and infrastructure development, agricultural expansion, global water scarcity concerns, energy efficiency focus, government initiatives, and regulations.

The axial flow pump market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.74 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to renewable energy integration, rising focus on sustainable agriculture, water infrastructure investments, smart cities development, and climate change adaptation. Major trends in the forecast period include digitalization and IoT integration, technological advancements, competitive landscape, environmental considerations, and material innovations.

The forecast of 4.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on corrosion-resistant impellers and shaft seals, imported from Italy and India, increasing expenses for agricultural and wastewater management. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The escalating demand for freshwater is a significant driver fueling the growth of the axial flow pump market. These pumps are instrumental in swiftly moving large volumes of water from sources such as rivers, lakes, and wells to treatment plants, irrigation, flood control, and drainage systems. The growing demand for freshwater is expected to outpace supply by 40% by 2030, as per a 2023 report by The Guardian, necessitating efficient water movement systems. Consequently, this increasing need for freshwater is poised to propel the axial flow pump market.

The increasing demand for hydropower generation is set to bolster the growth of the axial flow pump market. Axial flow pumps play a pivotal role in water transportation and control systems within hydropower facilities, enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of energy generated from hydropower sources. According to the International Energy Agency's July 2023 report, global hydropower output surged by over 70 TWh (nearly 2%), reaching 4,300 TWh in 2022. Hence, the rising demand for hydropower generation significantly drives the axial flow pump market.

The burgeoning oil and gas sector is expected to propel the axial flow pump market's growth. These pumps, known for their high flow rates, are invaluable in transporting large liquid quantities, making them essential assets in the diversified operations of the oil and gas sector. For instance, data from the Energy Information Administration in May 2023 revealed a 5.6% increase in crude oil production in the United States in 2022, reaching 0.6 million b/d. Additionally, in December 2022, US dry natural gas production surpassed 100 Bcf/d, marking record-breaking figures pre-pandemic. Therefore, the expanding oil and gas sector is a key driver behind the growth of the axial flow pump market.

Technological innovation stands out as a prominent trend in the axial flow pump market. Companies in this sector are intensively focused on developing corrosion-resistant and durable axial flow pump variants. For example, Baker Hughes Company introduced the Python Pipe portfolio in November 2023, a cutting-edge reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) technology. PythonPipe offers quicker installation, reduced time to first production, and fewer lifecycle emissions compared to traditional steel installation methods. With certifications and various size and material options, PythonPipe brings substantial cost and time savings while significantly reducing carbon emissions and maintenance expenses during its lifespan.

In October 2022, Baker Hughes, a prominent US-based oil field services company, completed the acquisition of AccessESP LLC for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move empowers Baker Hughes to expand its suite of oil field services by incorporating AccessESP's equipment into its offerings, thereby enhancing its position within the market for oil field equipment products. Notably, AccessESP LLC, a US-based oil field equipment manufacturer, is recognized for its production of various equipment, including axial flow pumps, contributing to Baker Hughes' diversified portfolio in the oil and gas sector.
