Pumps and pumping equipment sales are on an upswing and are estimated at $8.1 billion in 2005, powered by a robust economy and the upswing in construction sector. Imports constitute 41.7% of the market and are increasingly becoming a major source of pumps and pumping equipment revenue. Imports grew at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2001 to 2005 in a market that showed a growth of 6.5%. Increasing competition from imports has also led to consolidation in the domestic industry that has considerably altered the power balance among major marketers.
