The size of the Middle East and Africa solar pumps market was worth USD 150 million in 2024. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.60% from 2025 to 2033 and be worth USD 266 million by 2033 from USD 160 million in 2025.
The continued expansion of agriculture and the need for other water-intensive industries, coupled with growing support from the government, are the main expansion drivers of the solar pump market. Due to the industry shift towards environmentally friendly characteristics, the call for solar pumps in the Middle East And Africa is increasing, which is a secondary factor driving the expansion of this market. A continuous clean water supply is needed for remote locations in various regions where electricity supply is a problem and diesel pump operation is expensive.
This factor is predicted to drive the solar pump market during the foreseen period, as these locations have great potential to harness renewable energy in the form of solar power. AC submersible pumps are predicted to experience the highest expansion rate during the foreseen period. An increasing call for higher-efficiency solar pumps, especially in the emerging economies of India and Bangladesh, is predicted to drive the call for AC submersible pumps during the foreseen period.
But still, the high cost of capital, the unavailability of spare parts (on time), and after-sales services are the main problems that hamper the expansion of the market.
With the increasing development of the industrial, residential, and agricultural industries, as well as the fall in operating and maintenance costs, the market call for solar pumps in the Asia Pacific is increasing rapidly. The solar pump works with electricity produced by thermal energy or by photovoltaic panels. It has a shelf life of 16 years, providing opportunities for the Asia Pacific market.
The high cost of capital, the unavailability of spare parts, and the after-sales service are the main problems that hinder the expansion of the market.

DC suction has dominated the market, accounting for more than 80% of the market in 2024. Increased drip irrigation business, especially in developing countries in the Asia Pacific, is predicted to lead to. solar energy for the anticipated period mentioned above. AC submersible pumps are predicted to experience the highest expansion rate during the predicted period. An increasing call for higher-efficiency solar pumps, especially in developing countries of India and Bangladesh, is predicted to drive the call for AC submersible pumps during the foreseen period.
Agriculture was the dominant application category, accounting for 60% of the total market in 2024. Increased agricultural activities associated with water needed for irrigation are predicted to drive the market for solar pumps for this application. Government subsidies to solar pump farmers and manufacturers, especially in developing countries in Asia and the Pacific, are predicted to drive the expansion of the solar pump market during the foreseen period.
The Middle East and Africa also experienced significant growth during the forecast period. The change in trend towards reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels in the form of diesel and butane as their primary energy required to generate electricity for agriculture and drinking water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Solar pumps are water pumping systems powered by solar energy instead of electricity or diesel. They use photovoltaic (PV) panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which drives the pump to lift and distribute water for irrigation, livestock, or domestic use.
Solar pumps are gaining popularity due to the region’s abundant sunlight, unreliable electricity supply, and the high cost of diesel fuel. They provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for water access in remote and off-grid areas.
The upfront cost of a solar pump system is higher than traditional pumps, but long-term savings are significant due to zero fuel costs and low maintenance expenses. Many users recover their investment within a few years.
Some countries provide subsidies, grants, or financing options to promote solar pump adoption. Policies vary by country, so it is advisable to check with local authorities or energy agencies for available support.
