Market Trends of MEA Positive Displacement Pumps Industry
Growth in the Construction Sector Boosting the Demand for Furniture Products
- The diaphragm pump, also called an AODD (Air Operated Double Diaphragm), is a type of double diaphragm positive displacement pump operated using compressed air. Diaphragm pumps utilize a pneumatic valve to alternate compressed air between the pump's two sides. They excel at managing liquids of diverse viscosities, including those with suspended solids. This type of pump, due to its design configurations and type of materials used, is also capable of safely and efficiently handling particularly aggressive chemicals.
- The diaphragm pump is positioned above the fluid level and can aspirate it, even starting from dry when it has no liquid inside. The distance between the pump and the fluid level results in loss loads. If the pump is not potted, the maximum height at which the fluid can be aspirated cannot exceed 6 m, while if the pump is potted, we can reach 9.5 m.
- In some applications, two fluids need to be pumped, but there is not enough room to accommodate two separate pumps. Various companies offer the opportunity to customize their pumps by splitting both delivery and suction. This means that with the same pump, customers can pump two fluids, for example, of two different colors. The fluids, however, need to have similar viscosity and density characteristics.
- The growing demand in water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries is a significant driver of market growth. For instance, in Kuwait, hydrocarbons contribute 50% of its GDP, with oil accounting for approximately 90% of export earnings and fiscal revenues. Kuwait planned to increase its oil production capacity to 4.0 million barrels per day by 2035 and gas capacity to 42.5 million cubic meters per day by 2040. KPC aims for net zero by 2050, presenting opportunities in the energy transition. Kuwait intends to invest USD 48 billion in exploration and drilling over the next five years to expand its oil production from existing and mature oil fields.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- Saudi Arabia is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of oil and gas. It plays a significant role in shaping the market's demand for positive displacement pumps. The country's oil and gas industry, driven by its vast reserves and strategic initiatives, demands various equipment and technologies, including positive displacement pumps.
- The Government of Saudi Arabia has been actively investing in the oil and gas sector, identifying new oil fields, expanding existing fields, and enhancing production. These investments contribute to the growth of the oil and gas industry in the region and subsequently drive the demand for PD pumps.
- In November 2023, Saudi Aramco unveiled two fresh natural gas finds in the Empty Quarter region. The Al-Hiran gas field's discovery was solidified as it exhibited a flow rate of 30 million standard cubic feet per day, accompanied by 1,600 barrels of condensate daily. Similarly, the Al-Mahakik gas field's presence was affirmed as gas emanating at 0.85 million standard cubic feet. In February 2024, Saudi Aramco found an additional 15 Tcf of natural gas and 2 billion barrels of condensate in the onshore Jafurah unconventional field as the world's biggest oil exporter pushes ahead with efforts to expand gas production.
- Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision calls for leveraging the Kingdom's location, strategic partnerships, energy sources, and logistics to stimulate a new phase of industrialization and automation in the country. It also aims to bring manufacturing half of the Kingdom's military needs within the Kingdom by 2030 and to automate the Kingdom's renewable energy and industrial manufacturing sector.
- In 2023, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA) announced that it would allocate USD 80 billion to water projects within the coming years. This aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to enable equal access to clean and safe water globally.
- MEWA aims to satisfy 90% of Saudi Arabia's water demand through desalination by 2030, with the remaining 10% sourced from ground and surface water. To bridge the projected water deficit of 4.5 million m3/day, new urban desalination facilities are deemed necessary, aligning with the current urban water needs and the assured water supply.
