The Global Market for Industrial Valves is Projected to Surpass US$78.4 Billion by 2020
Industrial
Expansion in Growing Economies Drives Demand for Industrial Valves, According
to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts,
Inc.
GIA
announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Industrial Valves. The
global market for Industrial Valves is projected to surpass US$78.4 billion by
2020, driven
by industrial expansion in developing economies, plant automation and emission
control regulations.
Industrial valves are mainly utilized in
capital-intensive industries and are designed to regulate and control flow and
pressure of liquids, gases, steam and slurries. Valves are also used as flow
controllers for pipelines, through which gases, liquids and semi-solids are
transported. Valves primarily serve end-use markets such as oil & gas,
chemical, petroleum and power, among others. A key driving factor for growth in
the market is the growing global energy needs and the ensuing increase in oil
& gas exploration, energy generation and petroleum refining activities. Pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and food processing sectors are also expected to spur demand for
valves. Use of valves in applications such as etching chemicals, ultrapure
water systems, and chip washing is poised to benefit from the healthy outlook
for the semiconductor and electronics industries.
Growth in the market is largely reliant on investments
in manufacturing facilities. Buoyed by technology innovation in valve systems,
the market is expected to witness strong growth in the coming years. Several factors, including pollution control
regulations, rising demand for water and power and rapid growth of process
industries, work in tandem to drive growth in the industrial valves market. The
construction of new nuclear power stations in the coming years is expected to
spur demand for industrial valves used in nuclear power plants. The need to
upgrade aging nuclear plants to ensure conformance with safety standards is
expected to spur sales of nuclear valves. Valves used in petroleum refining plants
are poised to witness growth, driven by proposed new capacity additions against
a backdrop of growing demand for motor vehicle fuel.
As stated by the new market
research report on Industrial valves, Asia-Pacific represents the largest regional
market worldwide,
supported by developments in water
infrastructure, and
expansion of the manufacturing sector. The region is forecast to grow at a
projected CAGR of 7.2% over the analysis period, led by China. Quarter-turn Valves
represents the largest
product market
with growth driven by the increased
focus on plant automation. Automated Control
& Regulator Valves represents
the fastest growing product market. Oil & Gas Transmission represents the
largest
end-user of
valves, while electric power generation
will emerge to
spur future growth in the market.
