A radial flow pump is a type of centrifugal pump where the fluid enters the impeller axially and is discharged radially, perpendicular to the pump shaft. This design generates high pressure, making it suitable for applications that require significant head at relatively low flow rates. Radial flow pumps operate on the principle of centrifugal force, where the rotating impeller imparts kinetic energy to the fluid, converting it into pressure energy as it flows through the pump casing.
The main types of radial flow pumps include single-stage, multi-stage, end-suction, vertical, and horizontal pumps. A single-stage pump has a single impeller to move the liquid, making it efficient for applications that require moderate pressure. These pumps are often used in systems needing a steady and reliable flow. Radial flow pumps are constructed from various materials, such as cast iron, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, alloy 20, and bronze, with capacity ranges covering low, medium, and high capacities. Configurations such as single-stage and multi-stage cater to various end-users, including agriculture, construction and building services, water and wastewater management, power generation, oil and gas, chemicals, 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 radial flow pump market by increasing the cost of imported cast iron, stainless steel, alloy materials, and precision pump components used in manufacturing. These effects have been most visible across water and wastewater, oil and gas, chemicals, and power generation segments in regions such as Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America where cross border sourcing is common. Higher tariffs have raised pump prices and project costs for end users. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, regional sourcing of materials, and design optimization to improve cost efficiency and supply chain resilience.
The radial flow pump market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides radial flow pump market statistics, including radial flow pump industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a radial flow pump market share, detailed radial flow pump market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the radial flow pump industry. This radial 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 radial flow pump market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $25.14 billion in 2025 to $26.1 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of irrigation and agricultural pumping, expansion of industrial processing facilities, increasing demand for reliable water supply systems, development of power generation infrastructure, widespread use of centrifugal pump technology.
The radial flow pump market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of water and wastewater treatment investments, increasing industrialization in emerging economies, rising demand for high head pumping solutions, expansion of chemical and oil and gas processing, adoption of energy efficiency standards. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for energy efficient pump systems, rising adoption of radial flow pumps in water and wastewater projects, growing use of high pressure pumps in industrial applications, expansion of multi stage radial flow pump installations, higher focus on durable materials and corrosion resistance.
The growth of the radial flow pump market is expected to be driven by the expansion of oil and gas exploration activities. These activities involve the process of locating and identifying potential sites for drilling and extracting crude oil and natural gas. The expansion of oil and gas exploration is largely due to the increasing global demand for energy, which is creating a need for new hydrocarbon reserves to ensure energy security and meet the growing needs of industrial, transportation, and domestic consumption. Radial flow pumps are used in these activities for high-pressure fluid transfer, injection, and circulation during drilling, refining, and production processes. For example, in September 2024, Statistics Canada reported a 6.8% increase in crude oil and equivalent product production in June 2024, reaching 23.9 million cubic meters, marking the ninth consecutive month of year-over-year growth. This expansion in oil and gas exploration is contributing to the growth of the radial flow pump market.
Companies in the radial flow pump market are focusing on geographical expansions to enhance production capacity, improve operational efficiency, and meet the rising global demand for high-performance pumping solutions. This includes setting up manufacturing plants, where raw materials are processed and assembled into finished products through systematic production processes. A notable example is Xylem Inc., a US-based water technology company, which opened a new pump manufacturing facility in Egypt in July 2023. The facility is designed to boost local production and support water infrastructure projects. It aims to enhance supply chain efficiency, reduce lead times for regional customers, and produce advanced water and wastewater pumps customized for local needs. This expansion is part of Xylem's strategy to strengthen its presence in emerging markets.
In March 2023, KSB Limited, an India-based manufacturer of centrifugal pumps and industrial valves, acquired the technology of Bharat Pumps and Compressors Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance KSB Limited's pump business in India by incorporating Bharat Pumps' technology, expanding its product range, and improving aftermarket services for industries such as oil and gas, refineries, and nuclear power. Bharat Pumps & Compressors Limited is an Indian manufacturer specializing in radial flow pumps.
