Global Progressive Cavity and Screw Pumps Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Progressive Cavity and Screw Pumps market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2028 million in 2025 to US$ 2597 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2031.

Progressive Cavity and Screw Pumps, as the name suggests, use one or more rotating screws to move fluids. There are several variations of screw pumps, including single-screw (progressive cavity) pumps and multiple-screw pumps. The fluid is moved by the rotation of screws, which create cavities or spaces that push the fluid forward as they turn. This report studies Progressive Cavity pumps (Single screw pumps), twin screw pumps and three screw pumps.

The market for Progressive Cavity and Screw Pumps is a critical segment in the fluid handling equipment industry. These pumps are widely used for transferring various fluids, especially in applications requiring the movement of high-viscosity or abrasive liquids. Among these types, Progressive Cavity Pumps hold the largest market share, accounting for approximately 55% of the global market. These pumps have become a preferred choice in many industries due to their ability to handle viscous fluids and provide smooth, continuous flow.

Screw pumps, including single, twin, and three-screw types, have applications across a variety of industries such as Oil & Gas, Food & Beverage, Water & Wastewater Management, Chemical Industry, and others. The Oil & Gas sector, in particular, holds a significant share of the market, accounting for about 28% of the global demand for screw pumps. The North American region is the largest consumer, representing approximately 30% of the global market, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Market Trends and Drivers

Several key factors are driving the growth of the Screw Pumps market globally:

Increased Demand for Efficient Fluid Handling: As industries continue to grow, the demand for efficient, high-performance pumps that can handle challenging fluids like oils, chemicals, and high-viscosity liquids has surged. The need for pumps with stable, pulsation-free flow is becoming critical in sectors such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and water management.

Expansion of the Oil & Gas Industry: The Oil & Gas sector continues to be a major contributor to the screw pump market. Progressive cavity pumps are used extensively in drilling and production processes to handle crude oil, oil emulsions, and chemicals. As global energy demands increase, the oil and gas industry's growth has directly influenced the need for more efficient pumping systems.

Technological Advancements: Innovations in pump technology, such as the development of energy-efficient, self-priming, and corrosion-resistant pumps, have further increased the demand for screw pumps. The integration of smart systems, IoT connectivity, and advanced monitoring capabilities are making screw pumps more attractive to end-users, enhancing operational efficiency.

Food & Beverage Industry Growth: With rising global demand for processed food and beverages, especially in emerging markets, there is a growing need for pumps that can transfer viscous liquids like sauces, jams, pastes, and creams. Progressive cavity pumps are ideal for these applications due to their ability to handle thick, non-Newtonian fluids without damaging the product.

Water and Wastewater Management: The increasing focus on wastewater treatment and the growing need for clean water supplies, especially in urbanizing regions, are also key drivers. Progressive cavity pumps are essential for handling sludge and other solids-laden liquids in treatment plants.

Market Restraints

Despite its growth, the market for screw pumps faces some challenges that could impede its growth:

High Initial Investment Costs: The initial cost of purchasing and installing screw pumps, particularly for high-end models used in industrial applications, can be relatively high. This cost factor can deter small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from investing in these pumps, especially in regions where budget constraints are significant.

Maintenance and Repair Costs: While screw pumps are known for their durability, they require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Wear and tear, especially in aggressive applications such as the oil and gas industry, can lead to costly repairs and downtime, which may hinder market growth.

Competition from Alternative Pump Technologies: Screw pumps face competition from other types of pumps, such as centrifugal and diaphragm pumps, which can sometimes be more cost-effective or better suited to certain applications. This competition, particularly in non-specialized industries, may limit the widespread adoption of screw pumps.

Regulatory Challenges: Regulatory requirements in different regions can present challenges for manufacturers. These regulations, which often focus on energy efficiency, environmental standards, and safety, may require pump manufacturers to invest in additional features or certifications, increasing both production and operational costs.

Regional Insights

North America remains the largest consumer of screw pumps, accounting for about 30% of the global market share. The region’s dominance can be attributed to its established oil and gas industry, which uses a significant volume of screw pumps for various upstream and downstream processes. The U.S. is also a major market for screw pumps in food processing and wastewater treatment sectors.

Europe holds a substantial share in the screw pump market, primarily driven by the chemical and food and beverage industries. European countries have well-established regulatory standards that promote the use of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly pumps, further driving market growth.

Asia-Pacific is expected to see the highest growth in the coming years, owing to rapid industrialization, population growth, and increased demand for clean water. Countries like China, India, and Japan are investing heavily in infrastructure and industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, and food processing, which will further drive demand for screw pumps.

Conclusion

The market for Progressive Cavity Pumps and Screw Pumps is growing at a steady pace, driven by the increasing demand for efficient fluid handling solutions in industries like Oil & Gas, Food & Beverage, Water & Wastewater Management, and Chemical Processing. While Progressive Cavity Pumps dominate the market due to their ability to handle high-viscosity fluids, other screw pump types like twin and three-screw pumps are also seeing significant growth due to their specialized applications.

The key drivers of this market include technological advancements, the expansion of the oil and gas sector, and the growing demand for processed food. However, high initial costs, maintenance challenges, and competition from alternative pump technologies remain potential barriers to growth.

Regional dynamics indicate that North America remains the largest consumer of screw pumps, while Asia-Pacific shows promise for significant future growth. For manufacturers, the focus should be on innovations that enhance energy efficiency, durability, and reduce operational costs to maintain competitive advantage.
