SIMPLEX BASKET STRAINERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global simplex basket strainers market size was valued at approximately USD 0.64 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 1.11 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.5% from 2025 to 2034.

A simplex basket strainer is a kind of strainer which is used for the purpose of filtering solids from fluids. Such strainers are mainly used in horizontal pipework. They are very prominently used because they allow the flow of both the liquids and fluids very conveniently. The pressure is also maintained without any significant drop.

Basket strainers are considered to be the best devices to be attached to pump suctions. They can easily remove all the foreign particles present. This is considered as the latest development in the market.

These equipments have large surface and hence the pressure inserted is very low. Different models of strainers are available in the market with superior features. These acts as the factors driving the simplex basket strainers market growth.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

 Decrease in Production of Basket Strainers Reduced Market Growth

The pandemic of COVID-19 became the biggest obstacle in the growth and development of all the markets. Outbreak of coronavirus, created an unfavorable situation for the sale of all the products. Demand for various products and services also drastically decreased.

Manufacturing activities experienced a severe dip, during pandemic due to factors like reduction in the investment by key industry players, world-wide economic instability, scarcity of raw materials, and shortage in labor. Social distancing rules did not allow many people to crowd together in factories. Hence there was a reduction in manufacturing activities negatively affecting the simplex basket strainers market.

LATEST TRENDS

Usage of These Basket Strainers in Pump Suctions Devices to Increase Market Growth

Water pumps are required in all the industries to draw water from the underground. Underground water might contain certain impurities and larger contaminants. While the pumps are sucking water, these impurities might get stuck to the pumps, resulting in damage to the suction pumps.

Therefore, it is highly important to remove any large impurities from the water to preserve the mechanisms of water pump. Basket strainers are attached to these pumps, to remove and filter out the any solid or debris that could potentially damage the internal parts of the pump. This is considered as the latest trend in the market.

• Filtration elements in modern simplex basket strainers commonly reach filtration ratings down to ~40 microns (enabling >95% particle removal for many wastewater/industrial applications).

• Product availability now spans line sizes from ½" (DN15) up to 36" (DN900) and pressure classes commonly offered include Class 125/150 through high-pressure ratings — enabling use from small process lines to large industrial headers.

DRIVING FACTORS

Protection Provided by Simplex Basket Strainers to Pumps to Accelerate Market Growth

When pumps and pipelines become clogged with debris, impurities, and foreign particles they are very efficiently removed from the pipes with the help of basket strainers. By removing these particles, simplex basket strainers play a very significant role in protecting pipes, pumps, as well as valves.

When the baskets of simplex strainers are fully clogged with impurities they must be discarded and only then the flow of water through pumps can be resumed. There are two different types of basket strainers available. These are simplex and duplex basket strainers. Both of them differ in their structures as well as applications. These strainers can also help in protecting the nozzle, and gauges of instruments. All of these factors are accelerating the market growth. 

• Design and purchase decisions are driven by code compliance: strainers are commonly specified to meet ASME Section VIII and ASME B31.1 / B31.3 (three widely-used codes) for pressure-piping and pressure-vessel applications.

• Material flexibility supports adoption — many suppliers offer at least 10–12 body/material options (e.g., cast iron, carbon steel, 316 SS, Alloy-20, Hastelloy C-276, Monel, titanium), enabling selection for corrosive, high-temp or sanitary

Advanced Features of Basket Strainers to Propel Market Growth

Simplex basket strainers have many advanced features, which make them highly suitable to be used in filtering out the impurities from pipes and pumps. These basket strainers have a very large surface. Because of this, the basket does not lose any pressure. Even though these baskets have to be cleaned when filled with debris and foreign particles, the frequency at which they fill is very slow. This reduces the time consumed. 

These strainers can be used in various devices for different purposes. New models of strainers are now available in the market. Some of them include fabricated simplex strainer, inline simplex trainer, and high-pressure strainer. All of these equipments are used for different purposes. They are suitable for agro chemical needs, water, steam, petrochemical, oil gas, and process media. All of these factors are propelling the simplex basket strainers market share.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Complexity in Installing These Basket Strainers to Decrease Market Growth

Simplex basket strainers are very helpful in removing the debris present in water pumps. However, installing these strainers is a very complex process. The investment that has to be made to install these equipments is also very high. This can become an advantage for the market growth and development.

When dirt accumulates in the basket it has to be removed to continue using the strainer. Removing the dirt accumulated is also a very complex process. All of these factors can restrain the market growth and development.

• 1 basket (single chamber) while duplex designs have 2 baskets; because a simplex has a single basket it typically requires line isolation/shutdown for basket cleaning — limiting continuous-flow applications.

• Typical perforation/mesh options center on ≥40 µm / 1/16"–3 mm perforations for many standard baskets — meaning simplex basket strainers are not suitable where absolute sub-micron filtration is required (preference shifts to cartridge or membrane systems).
