The global vacuum pumps market size was valued at USD 6.61 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 10.54 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.05% from 2025-2033. Asia Pacific currently dominates the vacuum pumps market share by holding over 45.0% in 2024. The market is driven by rapid industrialization, strong demand from semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, expanding chemical processing and energy sectors, increasing automation, and significant government investments in manufacturing hubs across the region.
Vacuum pumps are compressors drawing gas molecules out of a sealed chamber to generate a partial vacuum or a low-pressure space. They have handles, motors, exhaust fittings, fan covers, and oil drains to help maintain a vacuum, reduce the boiling point of different gases and avoid adverse chemical reactions. They are available in various technologies to suit the pressure requirements and applications. At present, they find extensive applications in electronics, radiopharmacy, radiosurgery and radiotherapy across the globe.
Vacuum Pumps Market Trends:
The thriving chemical industry represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, vacuum pumps are used in composite molding, flight instruments, electron microscopy, photolithography, uranium enrichment, mass spectrometers, cabinetry fabrication, and glass and stone-cutting factories. They are also employed in the food and beverage (F&B) industry for chocolate production, dairy processing, coffee roasting, deaeration of mineral water, and sterilization of tea and spices. In addition, vacuum pumps are utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for crystallization, distillation, drying, and degassing. Besides this, air conditioning and refrigeration systems become contaminated with moisture and incondensable gases like air. The presence of either or both of these elements in these systems can cause internal icing and corrosion. Consequently, there is an increase in the usage of vacuum pumps to eliminate moisture and air from these systems. This, coupled with rising oil and gas exploration activities, is catalyzing the demand for vacuum pumps around the world. Furthermore, significant growth in the oil and gas sector and the rising use of vacuum pumps for the manufacturing of vacuum tubes and electric lamps are creating a positive outlook for the market.
