The global peristaltic pump market size was valued at USD 2.40 billion in 2024. It is projected to be worth USD 2.59 billion in 2025 and reach USD 4.05 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.64% during the forecast period.            

A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves fluids through a flexible tube using a rolling or squeezing action. Rollers or shoes press against the tubing in a sequential motion, pushing the liquid forward while preventing backflow. Since the fluid contacts the inner surface of the tubing and not the pump’s internal parts, these pumps are particularly useful for handling sterile, corrosive, or sensitive fluids. They are commonly used in medical devices, laboratories, food processing, and chemical industries where hygiene and precision are critical.

The market is growing rapidly as these pumps address critical needs across industries requiring precise, contamination-free, and versatile fluid handling. The peristaltic pumps industry is also expanding due to advancements in pumping technologies since the pumps constitute a flexible, precise, low-maintenance and contamination-free processing of rugged and sensitive fluid found within pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing sector and water treatment.

With the increasing need for water and wastewater treatment, the demand for these pumps is increasing as they depend on abrasive slurries, viscous fluids, and corrosive chemicals; provide accurate chemical dosing; and have reduced maintenance requirements. Additionally, these pumps are targeting the core issues of industries including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, and mining. Key players in the market include Verder Group, Graco Inc., and others.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market Drivers

Increasing Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industry to Drive Market Growth

The peristaltic pump market growth is majorly due to rising activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as they provide reliable, precise, sterile, and contamination-free handling of fluids, all of which are essential during drug manufacturing, vaccine production, and biologics processing.

In February 2023, Verder Liquids launched the Verderflex Dura 80 peristaltic pump. The Dura 80 is used for various applications in the pharmaceutical and process industries. With a flow rate of 42 m³/h and a maximum differential pressure of 16 bar, it is a high-flux solution.

Market Restraints

High Initial Cost Compared to Alternatives to Restrain Market Growth

Peristaltic pumps are typically more expensive than other options, such as diaphragm, centrifugal, or gear pumps, resulting in cost-sensitive sectors being hesitant to adopt, particularly in developing economies. Many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and municipal water treatment plants in developing economies are resource-constrained. Peristaltic pumps require a higher startup cost, which limits such users who are likely to benefit from their implementation.

Market Opportunities

Expansion of Water and Wastewater Treatment Creates an Opportunity for Market Growth

With the expansion of water and wastewater treatment, the market for peristaltic pumps is gaining higher traction, as they provide excellent chemical dosing capabilities, are suitable for abrasive and corrosive fluids, and offer low maintenance requirements, which suit major modern treatment facilities.

In May 2025, Lutz-Jesco GmbH announced the acquisition of the FXM line of peristaltic metering pumps from Valmet. This acquisition enhances Lutz-Jesco’s portfolio and solidifies its global footprint in the industrial and municipal fluid handling sectors. The FXM series, previously branded under Flowrox as a durable and rugged workhorse line for moving abrasive and viscous fluids, will be fully absorbed into Lutz-Jesco’s offering of high-quality transfer and metering equipment. This acquisition includes related technology, designs, and intellectual property, thus providing continuity and support for any current FXM customers.

Peristaltic Pump Market Trends

Increasing Adoption in Emerging Markets to Drive Market Growth

The uptake of peristaltic pumps in emerging markets is growing due to increased industrialization, urbanization, and environmental regulations. As water/wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and mining are growing rapidly in India, Southeast Asia, GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council), and Africa, there is a strong demand for reliable, low-maintenance, effective puncture and sensitivity pumps that can handle abrasive, viscous, and harmful fluids.

SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS

By Type

Capability to handle highly Viscous and Corrosive Fluids to Drive Hose Pumps Segment Growth

The market by type covers hose pumps and tube pumps.  

Hose pump holds the largest peristaltic pump market share. This is due to its capability to handle highly viscous, abrasive, and aggressive fluids where traditional pumps can struggle. The segment receives wide-ranging market acceptance as mines, sewage treatment plants, and chemicals and power generation industries utilize hose pumps for reliable slurry transfer, high solid content, and precise dosing.

The tube pumps segment is the second-largest segment in the market. This is driven by increasing demand in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, laboratories, and food & beverage, where precision, hygiene, and contamination-free handling of fluids is critical.

By Application

High Demand for Precise and Reliable Fluid Dosing in Water Treatment to Drive Segment Growth

The market is segmented by application into metering, transfer, and dispensing.

Metering is the dominating segment in the market owing to their ability to deliver accurate and consistent flow rates, even with viscous, abrasive, or chemically aggressive fluids. The flow is determined by rotor speed and tubing size, which makes calibration straightforward and repeatable. Industries such as water and wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and chemicals rely heavily on metering for dosing chlorine, pH adjusters, enzymes, and catalysts. The main strength of peristaltic pumps in metering lies in their precision and their ability to maintain sterility, as the fluid only contacts the tubing.

The dispensing segment is the second largest segment in the market as it focuses on delivering controlled, repeatable portions of fluid rather than continuous flow. Peristaltic pumps are well-suited for this as they can be programmed to dispense exact volumes by controlling rotation cycles. They are commonly used in food and beverage processing for portioning additives, flavors, and nutritional ingredients, as well as in laboratories and medical devices for dispensing reagents, test samples, or IV solutions. The key advantage of peristaltic pumps in dispensing is their hygienic design, which ensures that sensitive or sterile fluids remain uncontaminated since they only touch the tubing. They are particularly effective in handling shear-sensitive or viscous liquids, which are challenging for piston-based dispensers.

By End-User

Rising Demand for Contamination-Free Fluid Handling in Drug and Biotech Applications Drives the Segment Growth

The market is segmented by end-user into medical and pharmaceuticals, water treatment, food and beverage, chemical processing, and mining and construction.

Medical and pharmaceuticals are the dominating segments in the market. The medical and pharmaceutical segment is taking the lead due to the fact that peristaltic pumps provide a sterile, contamination-free, and accurate way to handle fluids, all of which is required for processes such as the manufacturing of drugs, vaccines, and laboratory processes.

The chemical processing segment is the second largest segment in the peristaltic pump market. This is due to the capability of peristaltic pumps to transport corrosive, abrasive, and viscous chemicals safely and with accurate dosing, while also needing minimum maintenance, which makes them perfect for industrial chemical applications.
