State of the Industry 2009

Here is a preview of two major statistics from our State of the Industry 2009 issue.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Summary of Shipments of Pumps (2007), industrial pumps increased in value 8.1 percent, finishing 2007 with $4,847.6 million in sales. Compare this with the numbers from 2006, which reported a 1.7 precent gain in sales of industrial pumps between 2005 and 2006.

Centrifugal pumps, the biggest market within industrial pumps, increased by 11.4 percent in sales over the previous year, ending the year with $2,401.4 million. In 2006, the increase in sales for centrifugal pumps between 2005 and 2006 was only 0.2 percent.

Take it all with a grain of salt, of course. These are the numbers for 2007, not 2008, so we do not have a measure of the current sales in pumps. It should make our State of the Industry 2010 a very interesting issue. For more of these statistics, keep an eye out for our January 2009 issue.

    Pumps really are in high demand recently and demand is only growing. All types of pumps, mostly industrial pumps, are being requested widely all over the world. Developing nations are largely driving this demand, as well as utilities. The market for industrial pumps is saturated, though, so it really takes a lot of effort to emerge as a key player in the pump industry.
