Which are the Prominent Drivers of Positive Displacement Pumps Market?

Extensive use of positive displacement pumps in end-use sectors favoring the growth
The positive displacement pump market is widely used to pump viscous fluids like oil, paints, resins, and foods. Also, they are favored in any application that necessitates precise dosing or high-pressure outputs.

These pumps have largely found use in the oil and gas industry. Positive displacement pumps, unlike centrifugal pumps, are not influenced by pressure, so they are also favored in situations where supply is intermittent. Most pumps are self-primed support adoption.

A positive displacement pump is beneficial to many producers, including those in the food and beverage, personal care, cosmetics, dairy, and meat processing sectors. These pumps in the food and beverage sector are designed to hold consistent fluid volumes including juices, fats, grease, gelatin, mayonnaise, sugar, creams, milk products, automotive paint, and polymers.

Growing Application of Positive Displacement Pump Boosting in the Chemical Industry

Positive displacement pumps have been extensively used in chemical manufacturing industries where the amount of fluid sent must adhere to specific guidelines and quantities. Further, chemical industry applications, on the other hand, have resulted in the development of offerings to handle fluids without chemical reactions to pump materials. Positive displacement pumps can move high-viscosity fluids with ease.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Positive Displacement Pumps Market?

Difficulty in Maintenance Affecting the Market Growth
Although positive displacement pumps are largely used in various end-user industries, their complex nature of handling the same is restraining the growth of the same. Moreover, certain positive displacement pumps are not able to generate high flow rates while functioning. This, in turn, is creating obstacles to the growth of the market. Furthermore, the difficulty in maintaining positive displacement pumps is affecting the sales of the same.
