Centrifugal Mixed-flow Pump Market is expected to reach US$ 7.37 Billion by 2031

Global Centrifugal Mixed-flow Pump Market Forecast to 2031: Key Insights

According to our latest study on "Global Centrifugal Mixed-flow Pump Market – Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis – by Stage, Operation Type, Type, End User, and Geography," the market was valued at US$ 4.83 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 7.37 billion by 2031. The centrifugal mixed-flow pump market size is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.44% during 2025–2031. 

The industrial application of centrifugal mixed-flow pumps is growing rapidly due to their ability to deliver high flow with medium head for flexible fluid handling. This combination has become a prominent centrifugal mixed-flow pump market trend across multiple sectors. Such pumps are getting installed in high numbers in large-scale water and wastewater treatment plants for intake, distribution, and return flows where both volume and lift are needed. In the farming sector, centrifugal mixed-flow pump models are ideal for irrigation canals, drainage, and flood control. They can efficiently move water across varying elevations and field conditions. The thermal power plants use them for cooling?water circulation, condensate transport, and auxiliary services purposes. At the same time, the process industries employ them in sugar mills, pulp and paper plants, and mining operations for medium?head transfer of clean or slightly contaminated liquids. 
Energy-efficient demands due to regulations for resilient pumping and water infrastructure are the main reasons that the older, less efficient units are being replaced by modern centrifugal mixed-flow configurations, especially in rapidly growing regions such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East.  

Centrifugal Mixed-flow Pump Market 

Growth in Agriculture Irrigation Projects Demands High-Efficiency Pumps 

The global trend toward the use of centrifugal mixed-flow pumps is largely a result of the demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly water and fluid management systems. Departments of power and industry are replacing old, oversized pumps with high-efficiency centrifugal mixed-flow designs. These pumps deliver the same flow and head with less power, directly reducing operating costs and carbon emissions. Moreover, these pumps are equipped with energy-efficient motors and variable frequency drives, allowing speed and power consumption to adjust in real time to system demand. This feature saves significant energy over its lifecycle by eliminating throttling losses. Sustainability goals in municipal water, wastewater, and irrigation projects are leading to innovations in centrifugal mixed-flow pumps market growth that are energy-efficient and optimized for smoother operations.

Global Centrifugal Mixed-flow Pump Market Growth: Segmental Overview

By type, the pumps are categorized into overhung impeller, vertically suspended, and between bearing pumps. The vertically suspended segment held the largest centrifugal mixed-flow pump market share. 

The vertically suspended segment is the most popular because of a design that is highly suitable for deep sumps, wells, intakes, and small pump houses that have limited floor space and need a flooded suction. Vertically suspended pumps position the hydraulic end below the liquid level, ensuring a positive suction head. This design improves efficiency, minimizes cavitation risk, and enables stable, continuous operation in high-capacity, low-to-medium head applications such as cooling-water circulation, irrigation lift, flood control, and municipal water and wastewater handling.
 
Additionally,  this layout reduces the NPSH demands and makes it feasible to have long pump shafts with several bowls or stages, thus giving the engineers the freedom to be able to adjust the water levels and heads without having to redesign the whole station. Localities and industrial plants benefit from easy access to the drive motor and thrust bearing at ground level, reducing maintenance time and improving safety compared to submerged motor alternatives. The surge in urban water infrastructure, desalination projects, and large cooling-water systems in power and process industries—especially in Asia Pacific and the Middle East—is driving new installations and retrofits of vertically suspended pumps. This trend is reinforcing the segment’s leading market share.
