ENVIRONMENTAL PUMPS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global environmental pumps market size was valued at approximately USD 6.95 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 12.41 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.7% from 2025 to 2034.

Environmental pumps are used to remove water from a well or other location. They are often required if drainage has to reach a lower level or when the water is deeper than the pump can handle. Environmental pumps are ones that assist in cleaning up contaminated water. Pollution, rising environmental consciousness, and rising interest in eco-friendly products are some of the factors that are driving the environmental pumps industry. A pump that is submerged in water is called a submersible pump. Water is moved using it from one location to another.

A submersible pump type known as a pedestal pump rest on top of the water it circulates. Individual incomes are rising significantly over the world, which is driving up demand for goods across many industries. Pumps can be divided into positive-displacement pumps, impulse pumps, velocity pumps, gravity pumps, steam pumps, and valveless pumps based on how they move fluid. As a result, the industrial landscape will change quickly in the next years, giving rise to numerous new production facilities across a wide range of sectors.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

 Industry Shutdown Causes Market Distortion

The COVID-19 outbreak caused unstable markets, a drop in consumer confidence, and problems with import and export commerce for producers of machinery and equipment. Markets were shuttered as a result of the lockdown, and many people stayed inside. Supply chain breaches, stock market inefficiencies, and vendor instability are the result of this evolution. The market as a whole was impacted by the shutdown of the machinery and equipment industry. Because there was no longer a market for the product, it has become obsolete as those markets closed. In order to maintain stability amidst the disruptions, organizations were forced to redesign their entire operational structures as a result of the pandemic. The financial imbalance brought on by the closure of numerous stores and significant sectors was the primary factor that distorted the entire market. In addition, the outbreak has a negative impact on the business operations of the enterprises, which affects the market as a whole. The environmental pumps market has been somewhat impacted by this.

LATEST TRENDS

Water Waste Management to Boost the Market Growth

Water waste management is the main trend driving up market demand. The need for wastewater treatment is anticipated to increase water usage efficiency and provide water needs for both the municipal and industrial sectors. The need for water treatment plants, environmental pumps, and consequently, pumps in water treatment plants is anticipated to rise in emerging countries due to rising environmental awareness and a growing water deficit. As the capacity required of treatment facilities rises, these plants are easily expandable. Even comparatively smaller firms have begun to establish water treatment plants as a result of new developments in the water treatment industry. This promotes market growth overall. The market is anticipated to grow as a result. The industry is anticipated to grow during the forecast period thanks to this trend. Thus, it is anticipated that the water waste management will increase overall market sales. These new developments and varieties in product are mostly to blame for the market's overall growth.

• According to the U.S. EPA, municipalities and utilities can cut 15–30% of energy use at water and wastewater plants by implementing energy-efficiency practices.

• According to the Pumping Industry / Hydraulic Institute, energy-savings programs and incentives supported >9,000 pumps (over $600,000 in incentives) and smart-pump sales rose to 19% of commercial pump sales by 2021 — showing measurable adoption of “smart” and incentivized pump upgrades.

By Application Analysis

Based on the market is categorized into Well Development, Groundwater Remediation & Others.

DRIVING FACTORS

Plastic Submersible Pumps that Give the Market Extra Boost

Plastic submersible pumps are the main element of driving market growth. They can be fitted with various impeller types and have plastic bodies. They are frequently employed as ventilators during the construction of sewage systems as well as in water wells or for waters that are deeper than the pump can reach. Due to their sturdy construction and attractive finish, plastic submersible pumps are easy to operate without being hurt because they do not release explosive gas when submerged. One of the key drivers propelling the market expansion is the steadily expanding demand for oil and gas from the industrial, transportation, and residential sectors. Submersible environmental pumps are frequently used to carry out extraction operations in deep-sea reserves as a result of a marked decrease in the availability of oil deposits around the world. The market demand is anticipated to be driven by all of these factors. As a result, the growth, and the increasing use of plastic submersible pumps will boost the market. It will contribute to the expansion of the machinery and equipment industry and it will improve the overall environmental pumps market growth.

• According to the Hydraulic Institute, pump systems can account for ~40% of industrial energy use, creating a large target for energy-efficiency retrofits and replacement with modern environmental pumps.

• According to the U.S. EPA (CWSRF / Bipartisan Infrastructure Law reporting), federal water infrastructure funding programs have directed billions (e.g., $2.4 billion announced in 2023 for CWSRF allotments) into clean-water upgrades — driving demand for new pumping equipment and replacement projects.

Groundwater Remediation to Encourage Market Expansion

Groundwater remediation is the element that is driving the market. These pumps are useful in the agriculture and firefighting sectors since they are portable, lightweight, and simple to deploy. Pumps are also utilized in oil applications, and as demand for crude oil and petroleum increases globally, they are expected to see a major increase in demand. This aspect is being supported by the rising demand for energy. groundwater remediation, in which contaminated places might have environmental pumps built to remove polluted or unclean water. Sites that have a high concentration of environmental contaminants, such as industrial effluent, sewage sludge, landfill leachates, and others, are referred to as contaminated sites. Over the course of the forecast period, the aforementioned factors are anticipated to affect sales of the industry. This will increase demand for the product and help the industry as a whole to expand. The product line expansion is helping the market to grow.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Maintenance to Impede Market Expansion

The market is being hampered by the pumps' extensive maintenance. Most of the pumps are completely submerged beneath deep water. They are typically installed by professionals in hard-to-reach places. It becomes challenging to properly check and maintain it as a result. Due to the unstable global economy and shifting consumer preferences brought on by new advancements, the pumps industry is expected to see a wide range of risks. Therefore, during the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to restrain market growth. But as time goes on, this issue will be resolved in some way. If this problem is fixed, the market will start to grow right away.

• According to the Pumping Industry / Hydraulic Institute, the U.S. pump sector is highly fragmented — with 450+ manufacturers operating across 38 states — fragmentation increases interoperability challenges and slows standard adoption in the environmental pumps market.

• According to the U.S. Government Accountability / EPA reporting, state SRF grant allotments to states averaged widely (states received annual grants averaging $6M to $208M from 2019–2023), and complex funding/approval processes can delay projects and slow pump turnover.
