Southeast Asia Submersible Pumps Market Analysis

Submersible pumps are machinery that are utilized when fully immersed in water or any other fluid, and they effectively force the water to the surface with a fully sealed motor. They are applicable in water supply, sewerage treatment, oil and gas, and in irrigation systems.

Submersible pumps are being applied in water and wastewater treatment plants, flood management, agricultural irrigation, mining dewatering, and construction projects in Southeast Asia. The local companies have been embracing online monitoring systems, energy-saving layouts, and modern material technologies to maximize durability and efficiency. The increased urbanization and government spending on water infrastructure are also promoting increased use of submersible pumping solutions. As per the OECD, on April 17, 2025, Southeast Asia local governments’ spending responsibility as a share of total government spending remains limited in Malaysia (7.2%), the Philippines (11.1%), and Thailand (30.5%) – all below the OECD average (39.5%) – indicating a stronger reliance on national governments.

Southeast Asia Submersible Pumps Industry Segmentation

This section provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the Southeast Asia Submersible Pumps market, along with forecasts at the country level for 2025-2033.

The openwell category held a significant share of the submersible pumps market in 2024.

Based on type, the market is segmented into borewell, openwell, non-clog, and others. Among these, the openwell category held a significant share of the submersible pumps market in 2024. It can be used in irrigation, domestic water supply, and small-scale industrial applications. Additionally, the pumps are more energy-efficient and can be used at varying water levels, making them preferred by farmers and households in areas experiencing seasonal water deficits. Their comparative affordability to borewell pumps would render them appealing in rural and semi-urban markets, which would directly reinforce their increased usage. Also, the market is driven by the growing number of product releases. As an illustration, on July 17, 2025, Kirloskar Brothers Limited, a leader in fluid management solutions, proudly announced the launch of its latest innovation, the 'JOS Ultra Openwell Submersible Pump'. The JOS Ultra is engineered to deliver the extreme service required by the agricultural, domestic, and community water supply applications with unparalleled efficiency and reliability.

The municipal segment held a dominant share of the market in 2024.

Based on end-user, the Southeast Asian Submersible Pumps market is segmented into municipal, industrial, oil & gas, mining, agriculture, construction, residential & commercial, and others. Among these, the municipal segment held a dominant share of the market in 2024 due to governments in Southeast Asia spending heavily to enhance the state of water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. The major focus in the municipal projects lies in submersible pumps, which have the capacity to move high volumes of water and sewage effectively. For example, in July 2025, KSB SE & Co. KGaA will launch a new generation of submersible motor pumps with axial propellers on the market. The AmaCan P-type series is designed to transport large volumes of municipal or industrial water as well as wastewater from stormwater, drainage, and irrigation pumping stations. Integrated, intelligent sensor monitoring detects any vibrations or leakages and measures the temperature of bearings and the motor.

Indonesia held a dominant share of the Southeast Asian Submersible Pumps market in 2024

Indonesia held a dominant share due to a large agricultural sector, high incidences of flooding, and massive government projects in the areas of irrigation and water infrastructure. The high rates of urbanization and industrialization in urban areas, such as Jakarta and Surabaya, are also driving the need to find effective water management mechanisms. Therefore, the country's focus on flood management, wastewater treatment, and providing a stable water supply in rural areas is generating long-term growth prospects. Additionally, the growing demand for energy-efficient and robust pumping methods in the mining and construction sectors is driving market uptake, and Indonesia serves as a pivotal hub for submersible pump applications in the region. On June 8, 2023, Grundfos announced the opening of its SP Sub Factory in Semarang, Indonesia. The Grundfos SP units are submersible borehole pumps, designed for pumping groundwater. This strategic action strengthens Grundfos' interest in the Indonesian market, and it is a huge step in fulfilling the rising demand for large-scale submersible deep-well pumps in the market.
