Market application and policy drive of vertical multi-stage long shaft submersible turbine pump

Based on the industry background of cost control, technological iteration, and green transformation of vertical multi-stage long shaft submersible turbine pump head manufacturers discussed earlier, the market application of vertical multi-stage long shaft submersible turbine pumps continues to expand. At the same time, top-level design on the policy side has become the core driving force for growth, and the overall industry is in a rapid expansion stage.
1、 Core market application scenarios
Environmental water treatment field
This is currently the application scenario with the highest proportion. The product is widely used in the upgrading and renovation of urban sewage treatment plants, industrial wastewater recycling, and is suitable for transporting sewage media containing solid particles and strong corrosiveness. In 2023, the market share of vertical submersible pumps in this field has reached 22%, with an annual compound growth rate of around 7.5%.
Petrochemical and new energy fields
In the chemical industry, this type of pump is used for leak free transportation of special media such as acids, bases, and slurries. With the outbreak of the lithium and photovoltaic industries, this type of pump is widely used in the cooling cycle and corrosive liquid transportation of new energy factories, becoming the fastest-growing segment of downstream demand.
Municipal and traditional industrial sectors
Covering scenarios such as municipal water supply and drainage, agricultural irrigation, and steel metallurgy flue gas desulfurization, it has become the preferred equipment for deep water intake and liquid transportation under harsh working conditions due to its advantages of vacuum free start-up and small footprint.
2、 Core policy driving factors
Energy Efficiency and Outdated Capacity Elimination Policy
With the deepening implementation of the "Action Plan for Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement", the mandatory national standard for dedicated energy efficiency for submersible pumps is expected to be fully implemented by 2026, benchmarking against the EU ISO9906:2012 second level accuracy, which will directly eliminate about 30% of inefficient and backward production capacity, and stimulate the demand for updating and replacing a large number of existing equipment.
Environmental Protection and Water Resources Control Policies
The Implementation Plan for Industrial Wastewater Recycling requires that the water reuse rate of industrial enterprises above designated size in key industries be increased to over 94%. Combined with the ultra-low emission transformation policies in the steel and petrochemical industries, it directly drives the demand growth of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant long axis submersible pumps in wastewater treatment and flue gas desulfurization.
Safety and Leakage Control Policy
The "Chemical Enterprise Leakage Management Specification" imposes mandatory requirements on the mechanical seal life and leakage rate of pumps, promoting the industry's transformation from ordinary seals to zero leakage magnetic drive seal technology. The market share of high-end seal products is expected to exceed 40% by 2026.
Driven by multiple factors, the segmented market size of vertical long shaft submersible pumps in China is expected to reach 18.56 billion yuan in 2026, with a year-on-year growth of about 8.5%. In the next five years, it will steadily expand at a compound annual growth rate of 6.8% -7.2%.
