HEAT PUMPS
The UK Pump market was worth an esmated £848m in 2018, which is due to increase in 2019. Moderate growth is expected for the pump market in the short term, driven by the polical and economic uncertainty while the UK negoates an exit deal with the EU
fragmented in terms of end-use applications and distribution channels. As a result, the market is influenced by many issues. It is very closely linked to conditions in key application industries such as water and sewage, power generation and industrial manufacturing. It is also linked to the construction sector The positive performance of the manufacturing sector driven by demand for exports, particularly in 2017 and early 2018, has had a significant impact on pump demand. The manufacturing sector utilises pumps in several ways; either through direct use of pump products in the manufacturing process, or as a component of a product. This sector also influences the materials used and the manufacturing process of the pump itself, such as the cost and availability of raw materials. In addition, increased output from some manufacturing sectors will drive demand for specific types of pump. We cannot forget the impact of energy efficiency in the power generation industry with sources such as wind, solar, biofuels all supporting the pump market. In addition, the wider application of energy saving devices such as variable frequency drives and soft starters have contributed to centrifugal pump efficiency levels and increased their competitiveness across a wider range of end use sectors. Overall demand

he Pump market is complex and
BSEE Moderate growth for the pump market
for pumps has been supported by a number of sectors. These include industrial process sectors, particularly food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals and hygienic and sanitary applications.
Activity in the construction sector is also an important driver. The construction industry also represents a significant end-use sector for pumps. Many construction projects require mass flow of water to the site
and centrifugal pumps are also used for heating, ventilating and air- conditioning. In addition, specialist pumps are used for transporting concrete and similar materials, such as grout. Overall UK construction output has experienced good growth between 2014 and 2017. In 2018, construction output increased by 3%, still showing positivity in the sector but growing at a slower rate in comparison to 2017 and 2016.
If current growth is maintained into the medium term it is likely the industrial and manufacturing sector will provide a broad range of opportunities for manufacturers of pumps.

Toshiba Carrier to establish new manufacturing subsidiary in Europe
Toshiba Carrier Corporaon has announced the establishment of a new manufacturing subsidiary in Gniezno, a mid western city of Poland
he heating, ventilating and air- conditioning (HVAC) joint venture between Toshiba Corporation and Carrier Corporation will invest approximately 3.0 billion Japanese yen in this subsidiary to enhance its business foundation and presence in Europe. The new manufacturing subsidiary is scheduled to start operations before the end of 2020.
T
Europe has seen sound HVAC growth for the last three years (2016 – 2018) with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over 6%(*1), and is expected to enjoy sustainable growth driven by solid demand for energy efficient HVAC products to address environmental concerns and legislation. Europe is also witnessing a recent surge in sales of heating and hot water supply equipment using heat pumps, or air to water (ATW) equipment as an alternative for heating and hot water supply equipment using gas and other conventional boilers.
The new manufacturing facility will allow Toshiba Carrier to reduce product lead time by one-third, reduce product cost, and bolster its product lineup catering to particular needs in Europe. Poland’s quality workforce, proximity to Western European nations and attractive investment incentives are the major factors for Toshiba Carrier to locate its first European manufacturing base in the country.
