A metering pump is a device that precisely measures the volumetric flow rate by moving a specific amount of liquid over a predetermined period. These pumps play a crucial role in enabling utilities to automatically collect consumption data, reduce the need for manual meter reading, enhance efficiency, and save costs.
The main types of metering pumps include diaphragm pumps, piston/plunger pumps, and others. Diaphragm metering pumps move liquid using a flexible membrane instead of a piston or plunger. The pumping chamber's capacity is enlarged, allowing fluid to be drawn into the device by expanding the diaphragm. When the diaphragm is compressed, the volume is reduced, releasing some fluid. Diaphragm pumps are particularly advantageous for pumping hazardous fluids. Metering pumps are distributed through both direct and distribution channels and find applications in various industries, including water treatment, petrochemicals and oil and gas, automotive, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, pulp and paper, textile, and 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.
Tariffs have impacted the metering pumps market by increasing the cost of imported components such as precision parts, motors, and control systems used in pump manufacturing. These cost pressures have affected pricing and procurement across water treatment, chemical processing, and oil and gas segments, particularly in asia-pacific and europe where cross-border sourcing is significant. Higher tariffs have also led to longer lead times and supply chain adjustments for manufacturers relying on imported subcomponents. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged localization of manufacturing, regional supplier development, and increased investment in domestic production capabilities, supporting long-term supply chain resilience.
The metering pumps market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides metering pumps market statistics, including metering pumps industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a metering pumps market share, detailed metering pumps market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the metering pumps industry. This metering pumps 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 metering pumps market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.59 billion in 2025 to $6.95 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in chemical processing industries, expansion of water treatment infrastructure, demand for accurate fluid control, increased industrial automation, adoption in oil and gas operations.
The metering pumps market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stricter environmental regulations, growth of pharmaceutical manufacturing, rising industrial wastewater treatment needs, increasing demand for process efficiency, expansion of food and beverage processing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-precision fluid dosing, growing adoption in automated process industries, increased use in water and wastewater treatment, expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical processing, focus on energy-efficient and low-maintenance pumps.
The rising demand for sustainable water supply across various industries is expected to drive the growth of the metering pumps market during the forecast period. Sustainable water supply involves developing reliable and resilient solutions to meet human water needs without depleting resources, harming local economies, or causing long-term environmental damage. Implementing water-saving strategies through smart metering helps reduce water withdrawals from rivers, bays, and estuaries, while promoting environmental health. For example, in August 2024, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), a US-based UN agency focused on healthcare, nutrition, and education, reported that 961 million people gained access to safely managed drinking water services in 2024, raising global coverage from 68% to 74% compared with prior years. Therefore, the increasing focus on wastewater treatment is boosting demand for metering pumps.
Major companies in the metering pumps market are developing innovative products, such as polymer metering pumps, to capture market growth. Polymer metering pumps are specialized devices designed to accurately and consistently measure liquid polymers, including polyacrylamide (PAM), flocculants, and coagulants, which are widely used in wastewater treatment processes. For instance, in February 2023, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group, a UK-based manufacturer of peristaltic pumps and tubing, launched polymer metering pumps capable of handling a variety of viscous and complex fluids. These pumps ensure precise dosing of polymers, supporting effective dewatering and treatment of wastewater.
In May 2025, Lutz-Jesco, a Germany-based provider of high-precision dosing and metering pump solutions, acquired Valmet's FXM metering pump technology for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Lutz-Jesco aims to enhance its technological capabilities and expand its product portfolio in advanced metering pump systems. Valmet is a Finland-based provider of industrial process technologies and solutions, including FXM metering pump technology.
