Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global solar pumps market report. This research report also lists eight other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
Technavio analysts states that there is intense competition among the major vendors in the global solar pumps market. Apart from the top suppliers, several regional and local vendors have started manufacturing energy-efficient solar pumps, which are available at a lower price than their international counterparts.
“Though the market seems unsaturated with several new vendors, it is quite difficult for them to compete with international suppliers regarding quality, features, functionalities, and services. With the introduction of products with new features and technologies, the competition is predicted to become more aggressive,” says Anju Ajaykumar, a lead analyst at Technavio for engineering tools.
