Executive Summary
Worth nearly £684.1m in 1993, the UK pump market is an important part
of the overall engineering business in the UK. Suppliers based in the UK are
also substantial exporters to world markets.
Pumps are the vital elements in an enormous range of fluid handling
applications, and range from small household central heating circulators to
immense units utilised in the water and energy industries. Pump performance
requirements and duties can vary considerably, from low pressure water handling
systems to models required to pump noxious or corrosive fluids, to units which
generate very high pressures. Pumps are employed in almost all industries.
Pump suppliers vary considerably in terms of size and the type of product
offered. Relatively few large companies or groups have substantial shares of
the market but there are a large number of middle ranking and smaller
suppliers. A number of suppliers are parts of international companies and
others are importers of pump products.
The UK pump industry has been less affected by recessionary influences than
other areas of the engineering industry and in the longer term it is likely to
benefit from upturns in key areas of the industrial and commercial economy.
Pump manufacturers based in the UK offer a broad range of experience and
product skills and are well suited to take advantage of opportunities which may
arise in UK and overseas markets.
