Driver: Rising demand from the agricultural sector
Agriculture is one of the important sectors in most emerging economies. Farmers in African countries make use of conventional irrigation techniques for irrigation purposes. The agriculture industry is one of the first sectors to adopt solar powered centrifugal pumps. There is an increase in cost of electricity or lack of access to the electricity grid. Due to these problems, solar pumps are emerging as a pivotal solution to help farmers meet their irrigation needs. Solar power is not only harnessed for supplying electricity to residences but are also increasingly used for agriculture. Solar-powered centrifugal pumps play a crucial role in promoting agriculture in Africa. Hence, governments of a number of emerging economies provide subsidies to improve the efficiency of irrigation systems and increase agricultural productivity. Centrifugal pumps are most popular in agricultural sector. Additionally, export crops such as coffee, tobacco, oranges, fruit and cotton are important sources of foreign exchange for the country. Hence, the growth of agricultural sector will drive the centrifugal pumps market in Africa.
Restraints: Cavitation and dry run failures in centrifugal pumps
Cavitation involves the process of formation of the vapor phase in a liquid when it is exposed to reduced pressures at a constant ambient temperature. Vapor bubbles are formed within centrifugal pumps because of inadequate liquid that tends to move toward areas of high pressure within them to collapse under sufficient pressure and return to the liquid state. The disintegration of these bubbles flakes off small portions of metal from the surface of the impeller, resulting in low-frequency vibration and noise, along with extensive damage to centrifugal pumps. This affects the performance of pump and results in reduced sales and high replacement costs. Thus, cavitation and dry-run failures can hamper the growth of the centrifugal pump market.
Opportunities: Increased use of solar water pumps in Africa
Solar water pump system is essentially an electrical pump system in which the electricity is provided by one or several Photovoltaic (PV) panels. A typical solar powered pumping system consists of a solar panel array that powers an electric motor, which in turn powers a bore or surface pump. The water is often pumped from the ground or stream into a storage tank that provides a gravity feed, so energy storage is not needed for these systems. Solar powered centrifugal pumps are most commonly used in areas wherein grid electricity is not available. A solar water pump system is commonly seen in residential and commercial uses, as well as for irrigation of agricultural land. Solar water pumps provides a clean, modern irrigation solution, and have the potential to increase yields by two to threefold, depending on crop and climate. The solar water pump market in Sub-Saharan Africa for smallholder farmers is nascent with low penetration, little immediate demand and a large impact potential. Of the 4% of farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa that irrigate their land, most use buckets, followed by diesel or electric water pumps. Hence, deploying solar water pumps in Africa is thus the perfect solution to any other alternatives.
Challenges: Growing competition from unorganized sector
Major manufacturers are facing tough competition from unorganized sector and overpower the big players in terms of price, competitiveness, and the local supply network maintained by them, which is difficult for global players to achieve. The growing number of sales from the local players restricts the opportunity for the global manufacturers to increase their revenue in the region and thus limiting their investments in the region. These are few of key major challenges which can hamper the growth of the centrifugal pumps market in Africa.

The overhung impeller segment by type is expected to hold the largest market share from 2022 to 2032
Based on the type, overhung impeller is estimated to be the largest market from 2020 to 2032. The overhung impeller segment is primarily used in industrial and commercial applications. Increased investments in water and waste water treatment facilities majorly contributes to the growth of overhung impeller segment in Africa centrifugal pump market owing to its variable configurations. Moreover, these pumps eliminate the requirement for larger space due to its compact design. Hence, this segment is expected to witness a higher growth rate during the forecast period.
Electrical segment by operation type expected to hold the largest market share from 2022 to 2032
Based on the operation type, electrical segment is estimated to be the largest market from 2020 to 2027. The electrical centrifugal pumps are utilized to pump fluids from the wells and consume limited energy, thus saving a large amount of energy. The use of electrical centrifugal pumps owing to its higher efficiency and reliability is expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
The multistage segment, by stage, expected to hold the largest market share from 2022 to 2032
Based on the stage, multistage segment is estimated to be the largest market from 2020 to 2032. Multi stage pumps use multiple impellers and volutes in series to achieve pumping pressure. The pumped fluids are discharged from impellers and volutes. Multistage centrifugal pumps are used for increasing fluid pressure in commercial and residential buildings. Moreover, multi stage pumps is estimated to grow at a faster pace than the single stage pumps owing to the increased demand for them from the industrial sector. These centrifugal pumps are ideal for high pressure pumping applications and booster systems. Multistage centrifugal pumps offer several benefits as they can operate in a wide range of flow/head scenarios. These are some of the common applications boosting the demand for the multi stage centrifugal pumps in African region.
Industrial followed by the residential & commercial segment is projected to emerge as the largest segment, by end use, in the Africa centrifugal pump market
Based on end-user, the industrial segment accounted for the largest share during the forecast period due to the huge demand for centrifugal pumps from the industrial sector in Africa. Also, the oil and gas dominate the industrial segment because the centrifugal pumps has major applications in the sector. The centrifugal pumps were one of the artificial lifts developed for unconventional onshore oil and gas wells. They remain the dominant artificial lift method for high-viscosity oil wells, high-sand cut wells, low-productivity wells, gassy wells, hostile fluid wells, and coal bed methane and water-source wells.
South Africa is expected to account for the largest market during the forecast period.
In Africa, the leading market for centrifugal pumps is in the South Africa. South Africa is the largest economy in Africa and most developed country in Sub- Saharan Africa. The growth of the country is attributed by the expanding infrastructure and industrialization. This is one of the key factor driving the centrifugal pumps market as it is attracting more number of foreign investors to set up their production facilities. Moreover, the rapid deployment of centrifugal pumps in mining and construction sector in the country is one of the primary driver accelerating the growth of the centrifugal pumps market in Africa.
