The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the flavouring syrup and concentrate manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the flavouring syrup and concentrate manufacturing market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Syrup and concentrate manufacturers are increasingly offering products made with natural and organic ingredients. Innovative flavoured products with enhanced nutritional value and low sugar content are attracting consumers with health consciousness.

Food and beverage industrial pump refers to a machine that transforms the mechanical energy that is absorbed from an electric, thermal, or another kind of motor, and transfers it to a fluid as hydraulic energy. The food and beverage industry pumps are used to transfer, mix semi-fluid, and dose fluid substances in processing and production applications. Industrial pumps are necessary while handling liquids with high viscosities during food products such as soups, creams, syrups, yogurt, flavors, chocolates, and pastes. Pumps for food processing are manufactured from food-grade materials and have smooth surfaces to prevent contamination from food and bacteria buildup. The main types of food and beverage industry pumps are pumps, agitators, mixers, and compressors. Agitator pumps are the pumps that are used for handling heavy sludges and similar applications. The different types of flow include pumps less than 10 liters per second, 10-100 liters per second, and more than 100 liters per second. The degree of engineering includes engineered, configured, and standard degrees with a pressure that includes below 15 bars, 15-30 bars, and above 30 bars.
