CANNED MOTOR PUMPS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global canned motor pumps market stood at USD 4.11 billion in 2025 and is set to rise to USD 4.45 billion in 2026, maintaining a strong growth trajectory to reach USD 8.91 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 8.03%.

Canned motor pump is a centrifugal pump with hermetically sealed electric motor mounted on single shaft thus eliminating the requirement of mechanical seal or another sealing device. A part of the pumped liquid is by-passed through the motor, for cooling of the motor and lubricating the bearing. Canned motor pump are utilized for the transfer of liquids that necessitate special handlings such as acids, caustics, solvents, and other substances. The motor and pump components are often composed of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or ceramic to safeguard long-term performance and sturdiness. The pumped liquid cools the motor while loosening the bearings and interior constituents.  It can also benefit from reduced maintenance needs and long service life as they don’t use mechanical seals. Several new developments are contributing to increased flow rate and output pressure decreasing trade cost and augmenting pump performance. The high implementation of advanced technology and the presence of large players in this region are likely to create plentiful progression opportunities for the market. Increasing need for energy-efficient and low-maintenance pumping solutions in various industries, such as chemical, oil & gas, and water & wastewater is the crucial driver of the market progression in this region.
