The gear pump is simple in structure, easy to process, small in size, light in weight, and has the characteristics of strong self-priming ability and insensitivity to oil pollution, so it is widely used. Compared with the foreign gear pump industry, the domestic gear pump industry has certain advantages and there are gaps. Compared with the Western gear pump industry, China's gear pump industry has two major competitive advantages: on the one hand, it has a low-cost competitive advantage; on the other hand, it is the high-speed growth of domestic construction, petroleum, petrochemical and environmental protection markets and major water transfer projects. It also provides important support for the development of China's gear pump industry. The continuously growing market space in China is a prerequisite for the domestic gear pump industry to maintain its advantages.

Shang Pu consulting machinery industry analyst pointed out: "Twelve Five" period, the development of China's gear pump industry plan is to invest in research and development accounted for the proportion of water pump manufacturing industry gdp more than 6% of the upper body. With the continuous development of technology, gear pump products will certainly develop in the direction of intelligence.

During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, key research projects and technological reform projects in the gear pump industry are mainly reflected in three aspects: On the one hand, the technical research on nuclear power plant equipment is mainly to develop ap1000 nuclear main pump hub technology research; second-generation plus technology 1000-type nuclear Research on the main pump hub technology, research on the nuclear secondary and nuclear three-stage pump hub technology, the research on the hub technology of the nuclear power pump with millions of kilowatts of pressurized water, and the research on nuclear power pump technology standards; on the other hand, the petrochemical hub equipment Technical research includes the development of screw pumps for 1 million tons of PTA devices, gear pumps, high-pressure small-flow pumps, and research on the technology of quenching oil pump hubs. The third aspect is the development of energy-saving mechanisms for pump products.

According to the “2012-2016 China Hydraulic Gear Pump Market Analysis and Development Prospects Study Report” published by Champion Consulting, it shows that under the influence of the economic downturn, the steel industry, construction, and upstream and downstream industries have experienced severe market shrinkage. The gear pump industry developed by these industries is a deadly blow. Although the economic downturn has negatively affected the development of China's pump and valve industry to a certain extent, it has also exposed the internal defects of the pump and valve industry. The survival of the fittest under the market economy system has been greatly improved. Therefore, the enterprises that survived the financial turmoil have fully demonstrated this market rule of survival of the fittest. In order to solve the problems existing in the domestic pump industry, the country has also formulated a series of policies. In this situation, the domestic pump industry should seize the opportunity to overcome difficulties.

According to experts’ predictions, China’s economic development will continue to flourish in the next few years, and domestic demand for gear pumps is still in short supply. Therefore, the prospects of the domestic gear pump industry in the next few years are still very objective. In the next five years, the goal of the development plan of the gear pump industry is that the proportion of research and development investment in the GDP of the water pump manufacturing industry will increase to more than 6%, and the contribution of the water pump manufacturing technology will increase. It reached 68% and promoted the establishment of a special water pump manufacturing industry with modern equipment manufacturing as its core.
