A vacuum pump is a device designed to remove gas molecules from a sealed volume, creating a partial vacuum. Its primary purpose is to lower the pressure within a system, serving various applications across industries such as manufacturing, scientific research, and medicine. These pumps facilitate processes requiring low-pressure environments, such as electron microscopy, semiconductor manufacturing, and vacuum sealing.
The main types of vacuum pumps include positive displacement, dry vacuum, centrifugal, and momentum transfer pumps. Positive displacement pumps create a vacuum by trapping a specific volume of gas and then mechanically expanding that volume, reducing the pressure within the trapped gas and drawing in more gas from the surroundings. They utilize mechanisms such as gas transfer and gas binding, operating at different pressure levels such as low, medium, high, ultra-high, and extreme high vacuum levels. End-users of vacuum pumps span industries such as automotive, chemical and petrochemical, aerospace and defense, oil and gas, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, 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.
Tariffs have influenced the vacuum pumps market by increasing the cost of imported precision components, electric motors, bearings, and advanced materials used in pump manufacturing. These impacts are most evident across dry vacuum and high vacuum pump segments, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe where semiconductor and electronics production is concentrated. Higher equipment costs have affected capital investment decisions for manufacturers and research facilities. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local production, supplier diversification, and innovation in cost optimized vacuum pump designs.

This vacuum pumps market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The vacuum pumps market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.75 billion in 2025 to $6.07 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of industrial manufacturing processes, expansion of chemical and petrochemical industries, increasing adoption of vacuum technology in healthcare, demand for reliable low pressure systems, rise in laboratory and research activities.
The vacuum pumps market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of semiconductor fabrication facilities, rising adoption of electric vehicles, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing, increasing focus on contamination free processes, demand for high precision industrial equipment. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of dry and oil free vacuum pumps, rising demand for high and ultra high vacuum systems, expansion of vacuum packaging applications, focus on energy efficient pump designs, growing use in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.
The growing food and beverage industry is expected to drive the expansion of the vacuum pumps market in the future. The food and beverage industry includes the production, processing, packaging, and distribution of food and drink products for consumption. This industry is expanding due to changing consumer preferences for convenience foods, increasing demand for healthy and organic options, and a rising global population that is fueling consumption. Vacuum pumps play a crucial role in the food and beverage industry by extending shelf life and preserving product quality, as they remove air and prevent oxidation during packaging and processing. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Government of Canada, a Canada-based federal government, in 2024, exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record $59.8 billion, marking a 3.8% rise compared with 2023. As a result, the growth of the food and beverage industry is driving the demand for vacuum pumps.
Leading companies in the vacuum pumps market are innovating with new products such as dry-running vacuum pumps to stay competitive. Dry-running vacuum pumps create partial vacuums or low-pressure environments by removing gas molecules from sealed volumes. For instance, in March 2023, Flowserve Corporation introduced the SIHI Boost UltraPLUS dry-running vacuum pump, designed to reduce cycle times for batch processes by up to 50% or more, particularly effective in load lock applications. This advanced pump retains the benefits of oil-free operation and electronic synchronization while significantly improving performance, cutting re-acceleration time by up to 50%.
