By application, wastewater holds a higher revenue share in the US market, followed by the agriculture application segment. By discharge size, medium discharge size, i.e., 6 inches to 12 inches, is estimated to hold a higher market value share. However, the high discharge size segment, i.e., above 12 inches, is expected to dominate the market growth during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Submersible Chopper Pumps Market

The downturn in the global economy due to the impact of COVID-19 has led to adverse effect on businesses and their operations. The COVID-19 pandemic came to effect in the US during the spring and affected the pump industry in varied ways. With severe industries halted, the pump industry also faced material adverse effects. Supply chain issues, shipping delays, border disputes and currency fluctuations were some of the effects of the pandemic. Volatility in the foreign currencies and raw material prices led to negative performance of the pump industry and other industries in general.

Pump manufactures witnessed declined sales compared to previous financial years ranging from 5 to 7% decline. They also experienced reductions in the customer demand from various end-user markets. However, amidst the pandemic, the water and wastewater treatment industry seeks growth as developed and emerging regions increase their access to clean water and effective water treatment to supply their populations.
