Diaphragm Pump Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Single Acting, Double Acting), By Operation (Electrically Operated, Air Operated) By Pressure (Up to 80 bar, 80-200 bar, Above 200 bar), By Application (Wastewater & Water, Oil & Gas, Petrochemical & Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverages, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Diaphragm pumps are the type of positive displacement pumps which displace the fluid at a constant flow despite the changes occurring in the counter pressure. These pumps fall in the category of the reciprocating pumps. They include a diaphragm, chamber, suction, and discharge check valves which prevent any backflow. The diaphragm pumps are used in various applications such as wastewater management, oil and gas industry, pharmaceutical, chemicals and petrochemicals, food and beverages and other applications.

The increasing population around the world with increasing urbanization has increased the demand for the wastewater treatment which is driving the growth of the global diaphragm pump market. The other factor driving the growth of this market is the expanding oil and gas industry in which the diaphragm pumps are extensively used. The growing industrialization and advantages provided by diaphragm pumps such as higher operating efficiency will drive the growth of the global diaphragm pump market in the given forecast period.

Based on its types, the global diaphragm pump market can be segmented into single acting and double acting pumps. The double-acting segment dominates the global diaphragm pump market due to the working efficiency which allows dispersion of fluid in two required fields. Based on its operation the global diaphragm pump market can be segmented into electrically operated and air operated. The air operated segment will dominate the global diaphragm pump market owing to its high operational efficiency.

Based on pressure, the market is bifurcated into discharge pressure up to 80 bar, 80-200 bar and above 200 bar. Based on its applications, the global diaphragm pump market can be segmented wastewater and water, oil & gas, petrochemical and chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverages, and others. The oil and gas segment will dominate the global diaphragm pump market owing to the increased exploration activities being carried out in various regions across the world.

The major market driver for the global diaphragm pump market is the increasing investments being done in the wastewater treatment and the expanding oil and gas activities due to the increased energy demand. The rapid industrialization and urbanization will also affect the growth of the diaphragm pump market positively.

The key market restraint for the global diaphragm pump market is the presence of other variety of pumps which serve the same purpose like the submersible water pumps, agitation pumps, progressive capacity pumps, and other high-pressure pumps. The increase in adoption of these pumps can hinder the growth of the global diaphragm pump market.

Similarly, the increased wastewater treatment demand in Europe due to presence of large number of industries has positively affected the growth of the diaphragm pump market in region. In the North America region, the growth of the diaphragm pump market is mainly attributed to the increasing exploration activities being carried out in the region. The USA is the dominant player in the North America region.     

Key Industry Developments

• In August 2019, Almatec a company owned by Dover Corporation which is the premier manufacturer of the specialty pumps introduced 2 new models in its solid plastic C series air-operated double diaphragm pumps. The series now includes C-40 and C-50 models. The specialty of the pumps is the improved bolt torque to ensure safety in operation and exclusive air control system, which increases efficiency at lower operating costs.


• In March 2019, KNF introduced a new low pulsation FP 400 diaphragm pump. The FP 400 is designed for recirculation applications in various market segments. The pump further combines the advantages of diaphragm pump technology and a pulsation level comparable to the gear pumps.
