A diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump that operates through hydraulically or mechanically driven reciprocating action, utilizing either a flapper valve or a ball valve to transfer liquids. These pumps are designed for tasks such as metering, dosing, and transferring liquids, particularly benefiting from their suction lift properties. Diaphragm pumps find applications in transferring various industrial fluids, including waste, debris, stones, sludge, and more.
Diaphragm pumps can be categorized based on their mechanisms, with the two primary types being air-operated and electrically operated. Air-operated diaphragm pumps use compressed air as a power source and are suitable for transferring a wide range of fluids, including slurries, sludge, abrasive substances, and highly viscous fluids. Diaphragm pumps operate in two main types such as single-acting diaphragm pumps and double-acting diaphragm pumps. These pumps serve diverse end-users, including those in water treatment, oil and gas, chemical industries, pharmaceuticals, and the food and beverage sector.
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.
Tariffs are influencing the diaphragm pump market by increasing the cost of imported elastomers, housings, valves, motors, and precision components. Water treatment, chemical, and oil and gas industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported pump assemblies and spare parts. These tariffs are raising equipment and maintenance costs and impacting replacement cycles. However, they are also encouraging local manufacturing, regional supply chain development, and innovation in long-life, low-maintenance diaphragm pump designs.

The diaphragm pump market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.02 billion in 2025 to $7.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure, growth in chemical processing industries, increasing use in oil and gas operations, availability of durable diaphragm materials, rising demand for safe fluid handling.
The diaphragm pump market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in water treatment facilities, rising demand for precise fluid metering, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing, growing adoption of automated pumping systems, increasing focus on operational efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption in wastewater treatment applications, rising demand for chemical dosing accuracy, growing use in harsh and corrosive environments, expansion of energy-efficient pump designs, enhanced focus on leak-free operation.
The diaphragm pump market is further bolstered by the anticipated growth in the petrochemical industry. Petrochemicals, derived from petroleum refining and other fossil fuels, are essential in various chemical products. Diaphragm pumps, known for their ability to safely transfer, dose, and meter chemicals, play a vital role in the petrochemical industry. According to the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers, Government of India, the chemical and petrochemical (CPC) sector in India is substantial, valued at 178 billion USD, and is projected to reach almost 300 billion USD by 2025. The growth in the petrochemical industry is thus contributing significantly to the expansion of the diaphragm pump market.
Leading companies in the diaphragm pump industry are strategically advancing their technologies and expanding the reach of Flotronic pumps to various regions, aiming to gain a competitive edge and broaden their product offerings. Diaphragm pumps, such as those produced by Unibloc Hygienic Technologies, serve crucial roles in extracting or transporting petrochemicals, as well as handling viscous, toxic, and corrosive fluids. For instance, in May 2023, Unibloc Hygienic Technologies, a US-based precision-engineered positive displacement pump manufacturer, demonstrated its commitment to innovation and expansion by extending its Flotronic pump production from one facility to two, situated on different continents. The Flotronic Barrel Unloading System, a product of this expansion, combines the unique One Nut Sanitary Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump with the Barrel Unloading Skid, specifically designed for applications involving high viscosities.
