Diaphragm Pump (DP) or a positive displacement pump is also called a membrane pump. These are widely used across a lot of industries to handle an extremely wide range of fluids including hard chemicals like acids. The inner surface of the pump is made up of raw materials like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Teflon and possesses high flexibility, oil-free pumping, high pumping speed, precise mechanics, self-priming capability, and corrosion resistance, which makes these pumps ideal for industrial use. The other features of the diaphragm pump include filter press, dewatering, and spraying & cleaning among others. Moreover, these pumps are used to transfer the fluids with high, low, or medium viscosities & also fluids with huge solids content.

Market Dynamics

The ongoing development in the water, wastewater, & sanitation sector as well as increasing demand for diaphragm pumps in the chemical industry is driving the market growth. The increasing demand from end-user industries of developing economies, such as oil and gas, water and wastewater, chemicals and petrochemicals, and food and beverage is supporting growth. The increasing number of onshore and offshore fields coupled with the growing exploration and production activities are expected to make a shift toward offshore ultra-deepwater projects in near future. Additionally, the development of water and wastewater infrastructure in developing economies on an immediate basis or as a goal for sustainable development is further projected to provide potential opportunities throughout the forecast timeframe from 2020 to 2027.

On the other side, the technological advancements in the alternative options of pumps, such as solar pumps, are expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
