科学及商业顾问ACONAG的一份新的报告指出，继2004、2005年间全球市场飞速增长之后，2015年以前工业终端用户定量给料泵会有5%的增长。报告称，这种增长主要来源于数字化、智能化、自动化等的革新，微电子和纳米技术的综合发展，性能范围的弹性以及测量系统的更高精准性。
该报告又补充到：此时，有些公司制定的策略是通过他们能够做到段对段，需求对需求，功能对功能的增置，而不是基于需求链的价值意义来实施策略。由于工业加工和生产的快速发展，泵的技术要求也将会有很大的不同，包括生物工艺和聚合市场，带有聚合市场的（水和能量集成）氢，生活科技市场以及分子工业。
15% growth for industrial end user dosing pumps
According to a new report by science and business consultancy ACON AG, the market for industrial end user dosing pumps will grow by 5% until 2015, following a fast increasing market volume in 2004 and 2005 worldwide. This growth, the report says, will result from innovations such as digitalisation, intelligence and automation, integration of microelectronics and nanotechnology, flexibility in performance range and higher precision in measuring.
At the moment, several companies drive their strategy by adding segment for segment, application for application, niche for niche through acquisitions, rather than basing their acquisition strategy on the value chain of applications, the report adds. Due to the rapid development of industrial processes and production, pump technology requirements will be very different, and include biotechnology and converging markets, hydrogen with converged markets (water and energy convergence), converging life science markets and molecular industries.
