US$ 60.9 billion
World pump consumption in 2025 — up 1.3%
US$ 62.5 billion
2026 forecast — growth of 2.6%

Global Outlook 2026

Driven by lower tariffs and solid economic momentum, global pump demand is forecasted to grow 2.6% to $62.5 billion. However, ongoing geopolitical tensions in Iran and elevated energy prices will cap maximum growth.

Regional Outlook for 2026

  • Europe (+1.6%): Decelerating growth as elevated energy prices and macroeconomic uncertainty drag on corporate capex.
  • North America: Strong demand supported by a favorable corporate investment climate and higher domestic oil activity offsetting Middle East shortfalls.
  • South America (+2.3%): Steady, moderate growth.
  • Asia (+4.1%): Leading growth, driven by strong market resilience in China and rapid expansion in India, though exposed to energy import risks.
  • Middle East & Africa (-0.4%): Weakest region; downgraded due to hydrocarbon production cutbacks and regional security concerns, though a recovery is expected once trade routes reopen.
