Screw Pump Market

A screw pump is a positive-displacement pump that use one or several screws to move fluid solids or liquids along the screw axis. Water or other fluids enter the pump through the intake valve and flow linearly along with the interlocking screws toward the outlet side of the pump. When fluid runs through the pump, the tiny space between the screw and the chamber raises the fluid pressure. The pumped fluid is moving axially without turbulence which eliminates foaming that would otherwise occur in viscous fluids. They are also able to pump fluids of higher viscosity without losing flow rate and changes in the pressure difference have little impact on PD pumps compared to centrifugal pumps.

screw pumps are used in a wide range of industries, including power generation, chemical processing, shipping, refineries, terminals, pipelines, and oil and gas extraction. These pumps are used for jacking oil, high-pressure fuel injection, fuel delivery, gear and bearing lubrication, and waterpower for applications in the management of hydroelectric facilities in the power-producing zone. The main advantages of screw pump are that they operate across a wide range of pressure and flow, self-priming characteristics, high-speed, low internal velocities and high tolerance against water vapor and particles.

Screw Pump market, based on type, has been categorized as single screw, twin screw, three screw and multiple screw. Progressive cavity pump and eccentric screw pump is also considered as Single screw pump. End use application will dictate the type of screw pump needed. Oil & gas industry and chemical industry with high viscous fluid needs specific rated screw pumps that can pump these fluids.

Screw Pump market, based on Pressure, has been categorized as up to 15 bar, 15-35 bar, 36-50 bar, 50-80 bar, and above 80 bar. Similarly, screw pump market based on End-user industry, has been categorized as oil & gas, water & wastewater treatment, food & beverage, power, chemicals, and others. Industries such as wastewater treatment, oil & gas and chemical are primary end user of screw pump. The ability to self-prime and self-lubricate which avoids contamination are some of the major reasons for their prevalent usage in these industries. As these industries grow and the need for energy efficiencies and automation increase, new growth opportunity for screw pumps is created globally.

 In terms of region, the Screw Pump market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest rate. The growth of the market in this region is attributed to the increasing investment in manufacturing and infrastructure development, which provide growth opportunities. China is one of the leading markets for screw pump and is expected to lead the market growth. The sales of screw pump in North America and Europe are also expected to increase in the coming years. This is owing to the replacement of existing pump to energy efficient and cost economical screw pump in various end use industries in the region.
