Based on lubrication, the dry vacuum pumps was worth over USD 3.9 billion in 2023 and is likely to exceed USD 6.2 billion by 2032. Dry vacuum pumps eliminate the need for lubricating fluids, reducing the risk of oil contamination and emissions into the atmosphere. Industries subject to stringent environmental standards, such as semiconductor manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, prefer dry vacuum pumps to meet regulatory requirements. Wet vacuum pumps are often more cost-effective compared to dry vacuum pumps, particularly for low to medium vacuum applications. Industries with budget constraints or less stringent cleanliness requirements, such as HVAC, plastics, and packaging, opt for wet vacuum pumps due to their lower initial investment cost.
Based on capacity, the mid capacity segment held a dominant market share of 47% in 2023. Mid capacity vacuum pumps find widespread use in various industrial applications such as vacuum packaging, material handling, pharmaceutical and chemical processing. Industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing rely on mid capacity vacuum pumps to remove air. As these industries grow, the demand for vacuum pumps also increases.
North America vacuum pumps market accounted for around USD 1.2 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach USD 1.8 billion by 2032. The energy sector in North America encompasses oil and gas production, refining, and renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind power. Vacuum pumps are utilized in various energy-related applications, including crude oil distillation, vacuum-assisted gas processing, and vacuum degassing in power plants. The expansion of shale gas exploration, oil sands development, and renewable energy projects drives the demand for vacuum pumps in the energy sector in North America.
The U.S. vacuum pumps market is set to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% through 2032. The U.S. energy sector encompasses oil and gas production, refining, and renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind power. Crude oil production in the United States, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global record of 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. As the oil and gas industry in U.S. grows, the demand for high capacity vacuum pumps also increases.
Germany vacuum pumps market is slated to register about 5.6% CAGR up to 2032. Germany is known for its engineering excellence and machinery manufacturing capabilities, encompassing sectors such as mechanical engineering, plant construction, and automation technology. Manufacturing production, excluding energy and construction, was up 1.9% from January. This growth is largely attributable to a 5.7% increase in production in the automotive industry and of 4.6% in the chemical industry. Vacuum pumps are used across all these sectors and with the rise in industrial manufacturing, the demand for these pumps is bound to increase.
China vacuum pumps market is expected to grow at the highest rate of 5.9% in the region. China is the world's largest manufacturing hub, with a diverse industrial base encompassing sectors such as automotive, electronics, machinery, and chemicals. The official purchasing managers index, or PMI, rose from 49.1 in February to 50.8 in March. The PMI is on a scale up to 100, where 50 marks the cutoff between expansion and contraction. Vacuum pumps play a crucial role in various manufacturing processes which drives the demand for these as the manufacturing activities increases in China.
