Globalization, or the integration of countries including their cultures and trade practices, has brought together an array of industries including telecommunications, transportation, energy, and more. Now the process has stretched into the pump industry due to the worldwide demand for the applications in which pumps are used, such as clean water and energy.
More and more, experts in the pump industry are reaching across national boundaries for new and innovative solutions to issues such as supply chain management, shipping, manufacturing, and how to navigate around the rising cost of raw materials. Those who can grasp and work with international partners stand to not only reduce their production costs, but expand their customer base as well.
To give you a better idea, submersible pump sales alone are estimated to reach approximately $19 billion by 2019 at the projected CAGR of 5.9%. This is due to an expected continued growth in the Asia-Pacific region, which holds the largest market share in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Australia, and Japan. Other countries with emerging pump markets include Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and New Zealand. The major suppliers of these submersible pumps include General Electric (U.S.), Schlumberger (U.S.), Halliburton (U.S.), and Weatherford International Inc. (Switzerland).
