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.
