Under the international situation of new energy transformation, the new energy-specific water pump market is growing at a high speed.
Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Europump (European Pump Manufacturers Association) indicates that six application scenarios are reshaping the global demand structure of water pumps: pumped storage hydropower, solar PV with energy storage, hydrogen energy, energy storage thermal management, offshore wind power, and liquid cooling for AI data centers.
Leading enterprises from Europe, the US, Japan and South Korea have all listed new energy pumps as their strategic core. Grundfos, Wilo, KSB and Sulzer will allocate over 60% of their 2026 R&D investment to new energy fluid equipment.
Six Hot Global Tracks: Concentrated Rollout of Overseas Orders and New Products
Pumped Storage Water Pumps
European: Voith won a major contract for the 43MW pumped storage retrofitting project in Spain, supplying customized bidirectional reversible high-pressure pump units to be delivered in 2028, to meet the peak shaving demand of the EU power grid.
South Asian: ANDRITZ won the bid for the full set of pump units of a 1,000MW large-scale pumped storage power station in India, which is the largest single order for fluid equipment in South Asia this year.
Solar PV Supporting Water Pumps
Centralized procurement boom in India and the Middle East: In the first half of 2026, the Indian government released a procurement plan for 300,000 sets of solar submersible pumps to replace diesel-powered irrigation equipment. The UAE and Iraq have promoted solar water lifting pumps on a large scale, whose operating cost is 90% lower than that of fuel-powered pumps.
Special pumps for floating PV: Wilo launched seawater-specific multi-stage booster pumps, which are supplied in batches to the floating PV project of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Project. A single project procures 1,200 units of reverse osmosis and solar circulation pumps.
Canned Motor Pumps for Energy Storage Thermal Management
New product launches from international leaders: Wilo released the Wilo-BCES high-flow permanent magnet canned motor pump, with the pump body length shortened by 60%. Adaptable to high-altitude and high-salt-spray energy storage power stations, it realizes zero leakage and maintenance-free operation, and has been purchased in batches by European and American energy storage integrators.
High-Pressure Special Pumps for Hydrogen Energy and CCUS
High-pressure delivery pumps for hydrogen refueling stations: Flowserve has mass-produced 700bar dedicated reciprocating pumps for hydrogen refueling stations, adapting to the large-scale hydrogen refueling network in Europe. KSB has laid out green hydrogen electrolyzer water circulation pumps, serving the NEOM green hydrogen city project in Saudi Arabia.
CCUS carbon capture pumps: Sulzer launched supercritical CO₂ high-pressure pumps, which are applied in batch retrofitting of European refineries and power plants to solve the corrosion problem of high-pressure CO₂ transportation.
Offshore Wind Power Cooling Pumps
Norwegian benchmark project: KSB won a major bid for Nordic floating offshore wind power, supplying customized seawater-resistant high-pressure canned cooling pumps that withstand high salt spray and wave impact.
Pumps for floating power stations: IRON Pump's turbine cooling water pumps are supplied in batches to Türkiye's Karpowership floating power barges. 17 vertical turbine pumps are delivered for a single project, matching the heat dissipation system of offshore mobile power stations.
Micro Electronic Water Pumps for AI Data Center Liquid Cooling
Explosive overseas demand: Walrus, an electronic pump manufacturer from China's Taiwan region, showcased its products at Computex Taipei. Its high-pressure pumps for immersion cooling are supplied in batches to European and American supercomputing centers, with overseas orders up 65% month on month.
Global supporting of automotive electronic pumps: TI Fluid Systems and Bosch launched a new generation of electronic water pumps for new energy vehicles. Each new energy vehicle is equipped with 2-5 electronic pumps covering cooling for batteries, motors and electronic control systems, supplying global factories of Ford, GM and Volkswagen. Feilong Automotive Components Co., Ltd. (Feilong Shares) has put its Thailand factory into operation, realizing local delivery of electronic pumps in Southeast Asia and entering the international automotive OEM supply chain.
As a manufacturer specializing in the production of core pump castings, Shata Machinery closely follows the upgrading demands of the new energy water pump sector. It is capable of supplying precision casting parts in batches - including pump casings, impellers, pump covers and seal chambers - applicable to scenarios such as photovoltaic irrigation, energy storage thermal management, offshore wind power, hydrogen energy and data center liquid cooling, and delivers reliable upstream casting support for global fluid equipment brands.
