Sanitary pumps are specialized equipment designed for pumping hygienic liquids and slurries within industrial processing pipelines. Complementing these pumps are sanitary valves, crucial components in various industrial applications that adhere to specific health and safety standards. These valves play a vital role in transporting products intended for human consumption and are integral to a wide array of commercial and industrial operations, particularly in the transportation and metering of slurries, colloids, and solutions containing food and agricultural materials across food processing facilities.
The primary types of sanitary pumps and valves include centrifugal, positive displacement, and other variants. A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device that transfers fluids by harnessing rotational energy from one or more impellers. These pumps can be powered by air or electricity, available in both self-priming and non-self-priming models. They are utilized across diverse industries such as processed foods, dairy, non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other sectors involved in hygienic liquid handling.
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 sanitary pumps and valves market by increasing the cost of imported stainless steel, precision machined components, seals, and electric drive systems. Centrifugal and positive displacement pump segments are most affected, particularly in North America and Europe due to dependence on global supply chains. These tariffs have raised equipment procurement costs for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing, supplier diversification, and innovation in cost efficient and hygienic pump and valve designs.

This sanitary pumps and valves 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 sanitary pumps and valves market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.8 billion in 2025 to $3.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in processed food production, expansion of dairy processing facilities, regulatory emphasis on food safety standards, adoption of hygienic fluid handling systems, increased consumption of packaged beverages.
The sanitary pumps and valves market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for ready to consume food products, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, increasing automation in food processing plants, stricter hygiene and safety regulations, growth in plant based and functional beverages. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of clean in place compatible pump designs, rising demand for hygienic stainless steel valve systems, growing use of sanitary pumps in beverage processing, expansion of modular and easy to clean valve assemblies, increasing focus on contamination free fluid handling.
The growing industrialization is expected to drive the growth of the sanitary pumps and valves market going forward. Industrialization refers to the social and economic transformation of a society from agrarian-based activities to industrial production. Sanitary pumps and valves are widely used across manufacturing sectors-including boiler feed operations, industrial processing, and irrigation-so the expansion of industrial activity increases the demand for these components. For example, in July 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the value of construction operations rose from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024, reflecting stronger industrial and infrastructural development. Therefore, the growing industrialization is driving the sanitary pumps and valves market.
Major companies in the sanitary pumps and valves market are focusing on technological advancements such as hygienic pressure-relief valves and leakage-detection butterfly valves with real-time monitoring to enhance processing safety, prevent contamination, improve efficiency, meet regulatory standards, and minimize downtime across food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and personal-care industries. For example, in March 2025, Alfa Laval AB, a Sweden-based pump and valve manufacturer, introduced the Unique SSV Pressure Relief Valve and Leakage Detection Butterfly Valve as part of its expanded hygienic valve portfolio. The Unique SSV Pressure Relief Valve, built on the established SSV platform, protects hygienic processing lines-especially those using positive-displacement pumps-from overpressure. It features adjustable relief settings, modular construction that shares spare parts with other SSV valves for easier maintenance, and full Clean-In-Place (CIP) capability at any pressure setting to ensure hygiene and minimize downtime. The Leakage Detection Butterfly Valve, when integrated with Alfa Laval's ThinkTop monitoring and control system, enables real-time leak detection and features a compact, energy-efficient design with a single seal, disc, and actuator. It is also CIP-compatible, reducing installation and maintenance costs while maximizing uptime. Compared to traditional valves without active monitoring or overpressure protection, these modern designs provide superior safety, traceability, reliability, and ease of maintenance-attributes increasingly important as producers scale automated, high-throughput hygienic processes.
In November 2023, Groupe Bruxelles Lambert SA (GBL), a Belgium-based company, acquired GEA Group AG for $11.25 million. This acquisition expands GBL's portfolio by integrating GEA's expertise in sanitary pumps and valves. GEA Group AG is a Germany-based company known for providing sanitary pumps and valves used across hygienic processing industries.
