Pump suppliers will experience rising sales resulting in just under $59 billion in revenue by 2019. This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in Pumps World Market. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The early pump companies were foundries. Competitive edge and greater revenue were based around manufacturing skills. Today the pump industry is much more focused on providing solutions for customers. This can include purchased components and software. These auxiliaries are reflected in the revenues reported by the companies.

A significant part of the growth is due to the “smart pump” offerings. Smart pumps can be integrated directly into plant distributed control systems. They reduce maintenance and improve performance.

It has the ability to improve the dosing function for pH control, disinfection, or cleaning–in-place.

PumpSmart^® from ITT is an intelligent flow system that works with any pump, utilizing smart VFD controller and proprietary control software to provide advanced process control, enhanced reliability through failure prevention, reduced life cycle costs and lower energy costs.

ITT also offers ProSmart^® which is a multi-patented, low cost, wireless predictive condition monitoring system that provides continuous online monitoring, alerting operators to alarm conditions via email or telephone.

Six years ago Colfax Corporation developed an intelligent concept pump with the ability to monitor its performance, adjust to changing conditions and order its own replacement parts - all without human supervision. The TX2020 can operate by itself at a remote pumping location or be connected to a network of pumps managed at a central office.

TX2020 pump software includes a preventive maintenance calendar and, based on foreseen needs or detected problems, the ability to determine which parts need replacement and issue a purchase order for them. For marine applications, the TX2020 can even provide a pre-programmed list of the service stations closest to the vessel, with full coordinates and contact details. The software also maintains precise records in the form of an electronic log book operators can use to track performance trends over time.

These examples are part of a trend among pump suppliers to supply the “smart” auxiliaries.

International Monetary Fund has lowered its outlook for Canadian economic growth.

It describes Canada’s recent performance as “solid” but says the risk to its growth has been increased by an unusually large drop in oil prices, weaker business investment in the energy sector and lower employment growth

The latest projection from the Washington-based agency calls for the Canadian economy to grow 2.2% in 2015, down from the January estimate of 2.3%.

Canada is expected to outperform Japan and countries that use the euro, but lag behind the United States and the United Kingdom.

The IMF estimates in a report that the American economy will grow 3.1% this year and the U.K’s real gross domestic product will grow by 2.7%.

The IMF also predicts the 18 countries that use the euro will expand 1.5% in 2015, up from a January forecast of 1.2%. The fund forecasts that Japan will grow 1.0% this year, versus an earlier forecast of 0.6%.

Exports have been touted as a savior of the economy, with Canadian exporting set to rise on the lower dollar…The remaining text is not included in this sample.

Is it time to start panicking about China’s debt? If you believe Beijing won’t support the municipalities that have overdosed on credit over the last few years, then absolutely. But overall, China’s federal level debt remains low, bank’s remain strong despite higher non-performing loans on the balance sheet, and yet we still get a total debt to GDP ratio of a whopping 282%.

First, a little comparison. The U.S. total debt to GDP, which includes household and corporate debt, is 331.7%. The economy has not imploded because of that, though there are plenty of people out there with books and newsletters to sell who say it is only a matter of time. They might be right. The same holds for China.

McKinsey Global Institute blamed China’s debt burden on a credit bubble which began in earnest in 2009. Back then, China was trying to plug up the holes left by the U.S. and European financial crisis. China is export dependent. When its two biggest clients fell because of its own credit bubble, China did what all economies do in crisis — stimulate, stimulate and stimulate some more.

McKinsey says local debt is the biggest problem. Central government debt is still low, at around 64% of GDP. That gives the government room to — well, stimulate some more. The central bank is currently running its own mini-QE program, which has helped the stock market beat the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by a landslide year-to-date…The remaining text is not included in this sample.

Investors can expect mostly upbeat data from Eastern European markets this week, despite the potential contagion from recession in Russia and financial crisis in Greece, according to Capital Economics.

Russia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia are scheduled to report first quarter GDP figures this week. The Russian economy likely contracted by around 3% year over year, with inflation hurting consumer spending. “But industry has held up reasonably well, which has prevented an even sharper fall in output,” Capital Economics writes. For central and southern Europe, Capital Economics sees an expansion in output of 3% year over year for the region, compared with 2.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014. Capital Economics adds:

“There has been very little evidence, so far at least, that the recession in Russia and renewed problems in Greece have had any impact on activity in the region … At a country level, we think that Hungary and Poland were the region’s best performers. We have penciled in GDP growth of 3.3% y/y in both countries, which would roughly be in line with the fourth quarter’s outturn. Elsewhere, we think growth in the Czech Republic accelerated to around 2.0% y/y in the first quarter, from 1.4% y/y in the fourth quarter, and would highlight that the chance of an upside surprise here is high.

As for Russia, Capital Economics expects preliminary first quarter GDP contraction due to the toll from “low oil prices, last year’s ruble crisis and Western sanctions.”

The slump in consumer-facing sectors was probably the biggest drag on growth in Q1 as households’ real incomes collapsed on the back of soaring inflation. Retail sales contracted by 6.9% y/y in real terms over the first three months of the year. Investment in productive capacity was also hard hit, falling by 6.1% y/y in Q1…The remaining text is not included in this sample.
