The internal gear pump market size was valued at US$ 2.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 4.0 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2031.
The internal gear pump market is segmented into five major regions-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2024, followed by the Middle East and Africa and North America, respectively.
In chemical processing, oil and gas, marine, and food and beverage industries, efficient fluid handling and energy-saving pumps are critical. China accounted for 55% of the global capacity for acetic acid, 50% of carbon black capacity, and 45% of titanium dioxide capacity in 2023. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India ranks sixth and third among the largest producers of chemicals in the world and Asia, respectively. Currently, the Indian chemical industry is valued at US$ 220 billion and is predicted to grow to US$ 300 billion by 2030 and US$ 1 trillion by 2040. China's growing chemical manufacturing and oil & gas sectors drive the adoption of steel and cast-iron internal gear pumps. Additionally, the governments across countries in APAC support automation and sustainability. The market also sees innovations in engineering to reduce cavitation and maintenance, further supporting demand for high-performance, durable pumps.
