Report Description
The global solar water pump market size was USD 3.67 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 7.27 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 10.3% during 2023–2031. The rising usage of solar-powered devices is anticipated to fuel the market.
The solar water pump uses photovoltaic technology, which consumes energy from the sun or sun rays and produced electricity for the pumping system. Solar water pumps are used for irrigation and drinking water. It helps to supply water to irrigate crops in agriculture.
The solar water pump is similar to an electrical pump system. The main difference is that the solar water pump operates on direct current (DC). Whereas, a normal electrical pump operates on alternating current (AC). The electricity is provided to the pump through several photovoltaic panels. Solar water pumps are broadly categorized into centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps.
Solar water pump offers several benefits to the environment as compared to traditional technology. It reduces the emission of carbon, as it does not require fuel to run. It requires low maintenance due to the fewer moving parts. It provides a reliable, adequate, and safe water supply.
A solar pumping system is a reliable option for remote areas, as it reduces the dependency on electricity and fuel and has the ability to work during power cuts. It is widely used to withdraw water from the open well, bore well, canals, and ponds.
The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the solar water pump market. Preventive measures imposed by the government such as emergency lockdowns and travel restrictions slow down manufacturing activities, which disrupted the overall supply chain of the market.
Solar Water Pump Market Dynamics
Major Drivers
Increasing agriculture activities are expected to boost the demand for solar water pumps in the coming years. Water pumps are majorly used for irrigation and drinking water. Solar water pump enhances crop health by ensuring a consistent supply of water to the crop yield through photovoltaic technology. The profitable factors such as no fuel cost and ease of handling are further likely to propel the market.
Rising government initiatives to support renewable energy, due to growing environmental concerns is likely to drive the market during the projection period. Various governments all over the world provide subsidies for adopting clean and renewable energy-based equipment in agriculture.
- For instance, the Indian Government offers about 75% subsidy to farmers for installing solar water pumps under the PM-KUSUM scheme.
Existing Restraints
The high cost of the solar water pump is likely to limit the market growth. Solar water pump considers high-tech device and it requires semiconductor. However, less availability of semiconductors makes it costly. Smallholder farmers cannot avail of high technology because of poor financial conditions. The lack of awareness and knowledge about equipment that works on solar energy is further likely to restrain the market.
Emerging Opportunities
Rising investment in the agriculture sector is expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market. Farmers are switching from traditional farming methods to modern farming methods and are likely to implant solar water pumps in their farms for reducing electricity consumption.

Solar Water Pump Market Segment Insights
Based on type, the solar water pump market is divided into submersible pump, surface suction pump, and floating pump. The Surface Suction Pump segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period, owing to its cost-effectiveness compared to others. Surface suction pumps pushed water over long distances, which makes it a preferable choice among farmers. The segment growth is further attributed to the increasing farming activities across the globe.
On the basis of the current type, the market is bifurcated into DC Pumps and AC Pumps. The DC pumps segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period, due to its longer lifespan and less noise properties. DC pumps require fewer solar panels to operate compared to AC Pumps. DC pumps are used for lower-volume applications.
Based on power rating, the solar water pump market is fragmented into up to 5 HP, 5 to 10 HP, 10 to 20 HP, and more than 20 HP. The up to 5 HP segment is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR during the projection period, as it provides a maximum suction head. This range of power rating pumps is embedded with an auto on/off feature, which increases flexibility. Low cost compared to others is further likely to boost the segment.
On the basis of application, the global market is segregated into drinking water, industrial, agriculture, and others. The agriculture segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Farmers use solar water pumps for irrigation and to supply drinking water to animals cattle. It is widely used to improve groundwater management. Solar water pumps reduce dependency on electricity, which further reduces electricity costs. Growing usage of energy-efficient equipment for wastewater treatment in the agriculture field is further likely to propel the segment.
In terms of region, the global solar water pump market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the increasing manufacturing plants of solar-based equipment and growing industrialization. The regional market growth is further attributed to the growing agricultural activities and the rising government initiatives to support clean and renewable energy.
