Submersible Pump Market to 2019: Industry (Chemical, Construction, Energy and Power, Water and Sewage, and Others), by Application (Industrial, Agriculture, and Domestic) Analysis
M2 - Mon Sep 08, 3:46AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/54zgbd/submersible_pump) has announced the addition of the "Submersible Pump Market by Industry, by Application, and by Geography - Global Trends and Forecasts (2014 - 2019)" report to their offering. Global demand in the submersible pump is growing with increased requirement for energy and water. The range of applications for these products is increasing in the municipal sector as well as in the industrial sectors of oil and gas, chemicals, power, water, and others. The others include automobile, food, pulp and paper, and textiles. These pumps operate by pushing, rather than pulling, water during its pumping process and are featured as single stage or multiple stages. Each stage of a submersible pump consists of a motor in a casing, closed with mechanical seals to prevent leakage. The motor is connected to a cable that generates power to run the motor, and the casing extends to some sort of pipe or hose leading to the surface. Submersible pumps can be connected to different types of pipes, flexible hoses or wires, depending on the job and the liquid being pumped. Important key components of submersible pump are as follows: - Abundant resources and deposits of energy and water - Increase in the demand for energy and water - Wide range of industry usage - Recover energy or water locked from underground, eliminating high costs and wastage - Produces water and oil with significantly reduced environmental impact compared to other technologies The report estimates the demand for submersible pumps in terms of value (in $Million). It also discusses the drivers, restraints, and opportunities for the market. The report also tracks the activities of dominant market players and the strategies adopted by them through their contract agreements, new product launches, expansions, mergers and acquisitions, and others which include product developments and technology launch.
