Pump & Compressor Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Products produced and sold by pump and compressor manufacturers are used in a wide range of downstream industries, but water management facilities, oil and gas operations and construction markets are the most crucial. Operations are also highly influenced by international trade, as imports represent a dire threat to domestic producers, while exports are a potential life line for many. Volatile conditions during the period resulted in declining revenue and weakening performance, though some managed to weather the storm. Over the past five years, revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 3.9% to $2.4 billion in 2023 when revenue is estimated to drop 6.0%.Due to the importance of oil and gas markets, pump and compressor manufacturers are inherently exposed to a fair level of volatility, given the fluctuations in oil prices and its ripple effect. Still, volatility heightened amid the pandemic's peak and in more recent years, as geopolitical tensions grew and supply chain issues proliferated. Profit dipped swiftly before rebounding strongly and falling once again, but lower input prices enabled most to experience greater returns than in 2018. Still, price-based competition from imports and volatile conditions proved too much for some.Over the next five years, revenue is forecast to decline, as the world price of crude oil sinks, resulting in less extraction and refinement activity, depressing a major source of revenue for many pump and compressor manufacturers. Additionally, the value of imports is projected to rise, as markets increasingly outsource to countries like the United States for high-value brands or lower priced goods through countries like China. Revenue is forecast to decline at a CAGR of 1.2% over the next five years, reaching $2.2 billion in 2028.

Trends and Insights

  • Oil price fluctuations increase volatility. Pump and compressor manufacturers contend with inherent volatility, given their reliance on oil and gas markets. However, oil prices experienced substantial fluctuations during the period, resulting in large gains and dips in revenue.
  • The oil and gas market is volatile but rising in importance. Despite its penchant for volatility, given its nature as a commodity driven market, oil and gas activity has increased in recent years, resulting in the segment growing as a share of revenue and in importance to overall industry performance.
  • Cities and densely-populated provinces provide a wider array of potential markets. In more densely-populated areas, manufacturers have a greater pool of potential clients, ranging from construction markets to gas stations and water treatment facilities.
  • Competition is based equally on price and quality. Pumps and compressors are used in a range of downstream markets, including energy extraction and transportation, which are heavily regulated. As a result, buyers are acutely sensitive to the performance of industry products.
