COVID-19 IMPACT

Economic Uncertainties Descended the Demand for Automation Solutions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the digital pump controller market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

In 2020 and the early part of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions across various industries due to lockdowns, supply chain interruptions, reduced workforce availability, and economic uncertainties. As a result, many industries delayed or scaled back projects due to economic uncertainties, affecting the demand for new pump installations and automation solutions. On the other hand, industries directly related to essential services such as healthcare and utilities continued their operations and investments, while others reduced spending on non-essential projects, including automation. However, the market is expected to witness a rebound in demand as industries recover and prioritize resilient operations. Accelerated automation, remote monitoring, and energy efficiency are likely to remain strong trends over this forecast. 

LATEST TRENDS

IoT Integration Expand the Market Opportunity

Digital pump controllers are gaining popularity due to their advanced features and benefits. Besides, several ongoing trends and developments are contributing to escalating the market growth. Similarly, the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important, allowing digital pump controllers to be part of interconnected systems. IoT integration enabled remote monitoring, real-time data analytics, and predictive maintenance which is enhancing overall system efficiency. As well as energy efficiency continued to be a strong focus. Advanced control algorithms and energy optimization features within digital pump controllers are being developed to minimize energy consumption and operational costs. Consequently, such features and trends are predicted to fuel the demand for these digital pumps in the key application industries throughout this forecast period. 

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the integration of AI in digital pump controllers is expected to increase efficiency by 25% in industrial applications by 2025.

• Remote Monitoring Adoption: According to the European Commission, 40% of industrial plants in Europe are expected to implement remote monitoring for digital pump controllers by 2026.
