At times, end users, harder to buy the equipment, postpone purchases or look for other technologies, which is a considerable hindrance to the longstanding growth of the vacuum pump market.

Segmentation Analysis

The market scope is segmented because of By Type, By Lubrication Type, By Pressure Range, By Application, By End-Use Industry.

By Type

• Based on the Type of the market is segmented into Dry Vacuum Pumps, Wet Vacuum Pumps.

The demand for dry vacuum pumps is the key driving force in the growth of the vacuum pump industry. The main reason behind this is the oil-free operation of dry vacuum pumps, which coincides with less maintenance and application needs for contamination-prone variants such as semiconductor, drug, and food processing. By definition, a pump that does not have any lubricant in the pumping chamber is called an oil-free vacuum pump, thus more efficaciously considered as green. Their design avoids even the slightest instance of oil contamination, which is crucial in a highly pure industry such as electronics manufacturing and lab applications.

Dry vacuum pumps include screw, claw, and scroll pumps, all of which have advantages such as high efficiency, low noise, and an ability to offer long service life. For instance, dry screw vacuum pumps are greatly used in semiconductor manufacture as they can handle corrosive gases and vapours laden with particulate matter. These pumps provided better energy efficiency and compactness in design, which has been the reason behind their increased popularity among modern industries aiming at sustainable operational prowess.

As opposed to that, wet vacuum pumps make use of some fluids, namely oil or water, as a sealing or working medium. Among wet pumps are rotary-vane pumps, liquid-ring pumps, and piston pumps. Wet pumps are generally the least expensive in terms of capital cost and are therefore preferred in the severe-duty industrial operations wherein ultimate vacuum or handling of vapor is essential. For instance, liquid ring pumps are commonly used in chemical and petrochemical industries for handling explosive gases or vapours with ease.

While wet pumps have their own relevance, dry vacuum pumps stand in top position in the current market owing to the increasing demand for clean and easy solutions.

By Lubrication Type

• Based on the Lubrication Type of the market is segmented into Oil-Sealed Pumps, Dry Pumps.

Lubrication-based market share: dry pumps dominate due to oil-free design, lesser maintenance, and application for contamination sensitivity. Essentially, such pumps work with no oil lubricant inside the compression chamber and, hence, provide a sterile environment that is particle-free for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, food-processing industries, and laboratory settings. Dry pumps are also oftentimes preferred because of their environmental-friendliness-they do not need to dispose of oil, which poses a major potential source of pollution or contamination.

Examples of dry pumps are screw, claw, and scroll. Among these, dry screw pumps are widely accepted in semiconductor manufacturing processes for efficiently handling corrosive gases without contamination. Furthermore, they are highly energy-efficient and lend themselves to extended service life, with minimal wear and tear, altogether resulting in the cheapest solution to other long-term servicing needs of high-tech and precision-oriented industries.

By contrast, oil-sealed pumps use lubricating oil for sealing and cooling the internal components and hence can provide very high-level performance and deep-level vacuuming. In such vacuum pumps, industrial applications like vacuum packaging, refrigerant servicing, and laboratory work are the prominent uses. Rotary vane pumps stand to be the best examples of oil-sealed techniques being able to maintain consistency in vacuum performance and reliability, even in rugged environments.

Oil-sealed pumps continue to be indispensable for some heavy-duty uses, but the global trend toward greener technology and stricter environmental regulations is causing dry pump adoption to surge unmistakably. As the world continues to focus more on streamlining and sustainability, dry vacuum pumps would only continue to steam ahead in the market.
