Grundfos is a key player in Thailand’s water pump business. Revenue of the Thailand water pump market in 2019 is estimated to be about US$23 million and the market is projected to grow with a CAGR of six percent during between 2019 to 2029, according to a study by Persistence Market Research. Massive industrialisation and urbanisation are the key drivers of the market, contributing to rising demand for effective social and industrial infrastructure in cities in Thailand. Furthermore, the government has initiated several sanitation projects which fuels demand for water pumps in Thailand.
“I am very excited to be heading Grundfos’ Thailand operations. As we see the nation increasingly embrace industry innovation and digitalisation, there is great opportunity for us to provide ground-breaking solutions to the market in Thailand and to our clients. I look forward to not only maintaining our strong position in the water pump market of Thailand, but also driving exponential growth for the business,” said Kenth.
