The day of competition is fierce: the water pump industry competes with the world for service

The market competition for water pumps has become increasingly fierce and price pressures are increasing. All of this forces the pump manufacturer to adopt a more service-oriented approach to its end users. The maturing market is strongly demanding that pump manufacturers seek new ways to increase sales and revenue. Providing packaged services and repairs that are compatible with the product seems to be a correct move that can help it gain much-needed customer loyalty in a white-hot competitive market.

Frost & Sullivan released a new analysis report "World water supply and drainage industry pump markets" (World Pumps Marketinthe Waterand Wastewater Industry) revealed that in 2005 the market revenue of $ 8.73 billion, and this number is expected in 2012 will reach 12.08 billion Dollars.

Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Dushyant Mehra said: "The key success factor for manufacturers is to provide one-stop shops for all end-user services and solution requirements, such as on-site assistance, repairs and spare parts. This trend is increasingly prevalent because of the Users can obtain information from them with minimal risk while ensuring their proper application and work.”

Providing solutions that meet the needs of end-users can significantly increase the demand for pumps. The upgrading of old water treatment plants and new construction projects in emerging economies can also significantly increase the demand for water pumps. For pump manufacturers, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region seem to have particularly great potential because the economies of these regions are growing strongly and there has been corresponding growth in water supply and drainage engineering.

Other factors that may increase pump demand include the energy-saving features of the pump, as well as its longer life and ability to monitor water flow. However, manufacturers can only enjoy the benefits of energy saving by substantially increasing the efficiency of the pump. This is a big challenge for manufacturers, especially after the management of energy consumption may be more stringent from 2006 to 2007.

Mehra said: "In order to remain competitive and provide lower-priced products and services, pump manufacturers must minimize management costs and production costs. At present, the energy loss of up to 70%, which requires manufacturers to increase product efficiency To solve this problem."
