Market Trends of Oil & Gas Pump Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Oil & Gas Pump Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Dynamic Pumps (Centrifugal pumps) from Refineries
- Centrifugal pumps has a vast application in refineries and is used to transport petroleum and its derived products in refineries.
- The global refining capacity increased by 2.8% in 2018, which is likely to continue over the forecast period. The increase in the refining capacity globally has increased the demand for centrifugal pumps in refineries and is expected to continue over the forecast period.
- As of 2018, there were above 470 planned and announced petrochemical plants, out of which China is expected to have 240 plants with a total capacity of around 100 MTPA by 2026. The capital expenditure for the projects in China accounted for about USD 52 billion.
- Furthermore, with the IMO 2020 regulation being enforced from the 1st January 2020, the increasing demand for the low sulfur fuel is likely to force major refiners to upgrade the existing infrastructure to produce low sulfur fuels. With the refineries expected to go through revamp, the demand for pumps is likely to increase over the next few years, further driving the growth of the market.
Asia-Pacific Region Dominated the Market
- China is expected to account for the significant growth in crude oil refining capacity between 2019 and 2025 in Asia-Pacific region. The country is expected to account for 26.8% of the total refining expansion capacity in APAC by 2025.
- Also, India's refining capacity has witnessed a CAGR of 3.36% between 2009 and 2018. As of August 2018, India Oil Corp., India's largest refining company, had plans to increase its refining capacity from 80.7 million metric tons per annum to 150 million metric tons per annum by 2030. Additionally, Projects worth INR 320 billion are in various stages of execution.
- Adding to this, South-East Asia is also witnessing the commissioning of several refinery projects, including the expansion of existing ones and developing new ones to reduce the dependency on imports.
- The oil & gas industries, apart from being a source for the majority of primary energy consumption, also aids in providing raw materials for various industries such as petrochemical, solvents, fertilizers, and many others. With the growing population and rapid urbanization, the demand for these is likely to increase, promulgating the refiners to set up new plants or undergo expansion. This, in turn, is expected to create a significant
