Frost&Sullivan: Re-initiation of Projects to Revive Growth Prospects for the European Positive DisThe demand for various types of positive displacement pumps in Europe is expected to witness an apparent increase due to re-initiated many industry projects in the regions recovering from the economic slump.
By: Frost & Sullivan New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.industrialautomation.frost.com) “The maintenance, operating and energy costs of pumps contribute towards a major share of the total life cycle costs, impelling customers to shift their focus on products that offer better energy savings and longer a life cycle advantage,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Ram Ravi. “Furthermore, the increased demand from the Eastern European EU countries is expected to attract investments across end-user sectors.” The prevailing scepticism on customer spending due to the economic recession is expected to increase the emphasis on life cycle and energy costs. Key issues to be addressed in these regions include enhancing waste management, water quality and hygiene standard. However, competition in this market is likely to be fierce. Traditionally, European pump manufacturers have faced stiff competition from their Asian counterparts. The imposition of stringent regulations also ensures high product quality in Asia. However, there are more growth opportunities in the price-sensitive Eastern European markets. “The recent economic slowdown has resulted in a shortage of investments across end users,” explains Ravi. “With existing projects being delayed or cancelled due to decline in capital expenditure, equipment suppliers have been facing a decline in demand and the end users are shifting their manufacturing base to low-cost nations.” Pump suppliers should augment their market penetration in the regional markets with strategic partnerships and acquisitions. Additionally, suppliers should focus on expanding their product and service offerings to cater as a one-stop shop to their customers. “Intelligent pumps and services offer long-term potential,” concludes Ravi. “Greater awareness results in enhanced adoption among end-users.” If you are interested in more information on this study, please send an e-mail to Joanna Lewandowska, Corporate Communications, at joanna.lewandowska@ Strategic Analysis of the European Positive Displacement Pumps Market is part of the Industrial Automation & Process Control Growth Partnership Services programme, which also includes research in the following markets: Strategic Analysis of Pumps Market in European Oil and Gas Industry, European Metering Pumps Market, North American Metering Pumps Market, and Strategic Analysis of World Centrifugal Pumps.
