The peristaltic pumps market is projected to reach USD 467.5 Million by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2016 to 2021. A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump with a tube or a hose, used for pumping a variety of fluids. Peristaltic pumps are manufactured using plastics, cast iron, and stainless steel. It is mainly used for pumping a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, corrosives or viscous liquids, aggressive fluids, clean/sterile fluids, and slurries. Peristaltic pumps work on the principle of compressing and pressing the tube or hose material that is positioned between a rotating device and a circular pump housing, where the increased pressure will move the fluid. There has been a growing demand for peristaltic pumps from varied end-use industries, such as water & wastewater treatment, mining, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and pulp & paper.

New product development was the key strategy adopted by major players to enhance growth prospects in the peristaltic pumps market between 2014 and 2016.
