$7.8 Bln Submersible Pumps Market to Grow at 6.3% CAGR in the Next Decade

Global demand for submersible pumps is likely to be on an upward swing due to increasing infrastructural development activities worldwide. Governments of developing countries such as China and India are focusing on urbanisation, industrialisation, and agricultural development, which is expected to drive demand for submersible pumps in the region. Demand for submersible pumps is expected to remain significant from agriculture and wastewater treatment industries throughout the forecast period.

However, the presence of a large number of Chinese market players with low-priced product offerings is likely to pose major challenges for leading market players operating in the submersible pumps space.
