The chopper pumps market size is projected to reach US$ 1,714.89 million by 2030 from US$ 1,109.69 million in 2022. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% in 2022–2030. The significantly growing demand across several sectors, including water and wastewater treatment, food & beverages, and chemicals, is likely to drive the global chopper pump market growth during the forecast period. Chopper pumps are widely used in the extraction of wastewater from various plants in the food and beverages, chemical sector. The use of chopper pumps is increasing at a rapid pace owing to the rising demand for recycled water and the increasing scarcity of water. Rising focus on water and wastewater treatment plants with government initiatives and funding drives the chopper pumps market growth.
Increasing demand for maintaining proper sewage lines to reduce environmental pollution is leading to the application of chopper pumps. Chopper pumps have the capability to handle concentrated solid waste in various industrial sectors. Environmental protection and rising government support for investment in wastewater treatment plants in European countries such as Germany, the UK, France, and Italy are major driving factors for the chopper pumps market. Chopper pumps are designed to pump highly contaminated liquids with a high dry content. These pumps are used in different end-use industry verticals such as agriculture, wastewater treatment, chemicals, food, and beverages.
Chopper pumps have a wide range of applications in industries such as wastewater treatment, aquaculture, food processing, bioenergy, pulp and paper, and oil & gas. Chopper pumps are suitable for pumping solid waste, sludge and grease from these industries, as mentioned above. These chopper pumps have an operating pressure range of up to 6 bar. Hence, it replaces most other types of displacement pumps.
A chopper pump not only pumps the solid waste, but while it is pumping, it also tears solids into much smaller pieces so it may be passed on through the pump and not jam the waste lines from the pump to the later terminal point. Chopper pumps are generally deployed in many sewage applications, emerging as essential to several wastewater applications. The increasing application of chopper pumps in agricultural and industrial sectors is also positively fuelling the chopper pump market growth. The changing type of waste products, such as sanitary wipes, napkins, and masks has also boosted the demand for high-end chopper pumps to manage tough plastic waste. Plastic-driven waste is fibrous, does not dissolve, and is not biodegradable. An advanced chopper pump can shred the highly concentrated solid waste in bulk more finely and ensures that the pump does not block and adjacent pipes are also free from blocking downstream. Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific are showing positive developments in the chopper pumps market. The US, Germany, and the UK are among the major countries portraying high-demand trends globally.
Volumes of wastewater have been gradually increasing over time with the rising population, developments in water supply, augmented living standards, and financial growth. Every year, ~380 billion m3 (cubic meters) of municipal wastewater is produced globally. Households and industries mostly generate wastewater. In addition, the volume of sewage is also rising in line with population growth. Wastewater and sewage contain toxic substances, harmful chemicals, and trash correlated with contemporary consumer lifestyles. Sewage carries microbial pollutants, plastic particles, and residues of medications that can pollute water and impact food security and human health. The issue is severe in heavily populated areas that lack treatment facilities. Thus, the growing need for wastewater management is driving the chopper pump market.
Governments of several countries are focusing on installing proper wastewater and sewage treatment facilities to protect the environment from pollution. For instance, in 2022, more than 16,000 public wastewater treatment systems were in the US. Over 80% of the US population takes their water from these drinking water systems, and about 75% of the US population has sanitary sewerage treated by these wastewater systems. The growing need for pollution control and utilizing wastewater in a better way after treatment has been a major driving factor in the chopper pump market. Major projects such as Noman Cole Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Replacement, Walnut Creek WWTP Expansion to 100 MGD, South Country One Water Campus AWWTF, Cave Creek Water Reclamation Plant Rehabilitation, and FWRC Preliminary and Primary Treatment Improvements are serving the US states of Texas, Virginia, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona. The growing use of chopper pumps in water and wastewater treatment facilities and sewage management infrastructures is leading the chopper pump market's growth.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the chopper pump market analysis are type and end-users.
The geographic scope of the chopper pumps market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
North America is expected to grow at a rapid pace owing to rising demand for wastewater treatment plants in the US. The US is leading the chopper pumps market due to the increasing application of chopper pumps in wastewater treatment facilities. Chopper pumps are leveraged for pumping milking sheds and wastewater having solids in abattoirs. Growing concern for environmental protection and reducing soil degradation are major factors boosting the demand for wastewater treatment facilities across the US. The US Environmental Protection Agency has issued Effluent Guidelines and national regulatory guidelines for wastewater discharged to surface waters and municipal sewage treatment facilities. In the US, approximately 16,000 wastewater treatment plants are operational at 81% of their design competencies, while 15% have accomplished or surpassed it in 2022. Increasing urban ecosystems indicate that these facilities are anticipated to be adapted widely to manage the wastewater requirement of the US. The growing number of wastewater treatment facilities is another factor driving the chopper pumps market in the US. In addition, there is a rising application of chopper pumps in the chemical industry to maintain the integrity of chemical processes and maintain worker and environmental safety in the country.
