Growing Usage by Food & Beverages Industry Driving Control Valves Market

In 2017, the control valves market generated $11,137.0 million and is expected to attain $16,057.5 million in 2023, advancing at a 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2018–2023). The market is growing due to the high energy demand ascribed to the rising population, increasing need for wireless infrastructure to monitor and control equipment, rise in infrastructure projects, and surging use by the food and beverage industry. A physical device which is utilized to control the flow of fluid by varying the size of the flow passage using a controller is called a control valve.

In terms of type, the control valves market is categorized into butterfly valve, globe valve, ball valve, cryogenic valve, and others (which include gate valve, diaphragm valve, and plug valve). Out of these, the butterfly valve dominated the market during the historical period (2013–2017), holding a share of more than 30.0% in 2017, in terms of volume. This was because the butterfly valve is small and when it is actuated pneumatically, it opens and closes quickly. The fastest CAGR is projected to be registered by ball valve during the forecast period.

When application is taken into consideration, the control valves market is divided into oil & gas, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, power generation, chemicals, automotive, wastewater management, and others (which include marine, mining, and agriculture). Among these, the power generation application accounted for the major share of the market during the historical period, in terms of volume. The pharmaceuticals application is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Pharmaceutical industries need a lot of safety standards, which is why valves are made with special specifications for this industry.

A primary driving factor of the control valves market is the growing demand for energy due to the rapidly increasing population, especially in countries such as Indonesia and India. This is resulting in an increased number of power plants for generating energy to meet its demand. Pneumatic actuators are utilized extensively in power plants for driving the control valves in different facilities. In addition to this, butterfly valves are used in firefighting pipelines and treatment plants. Thus, the rising requirement for energy is expected to lead to the increasing requirement for control valves.

Another factor leading to the growth of the control valves market is the increasing usage by the food & beverages industry. Due to the rising disposable income, people are increasingly purchasing processed foods, which, in turn, is leading to the rise in the number of food processing plants. These plants need control valves in different units. Globe, check, and gate valves are some of the most commonly utilized control valves in food processing plants. In addition to this, butterfly and ball valves are utilized by the dairy processing industry for preventing contamination and leakage.

The development of new valve technology is a key trend in the control valves market. Conventionally, control valves were used mechanically without any chips or processors embedded in them. However, now manufacturers have started focusing on the development of new valve technologies, which have processors embedded inside the valves. This will allow the valves to deliver real-time data on flow rates and operating conditions and help during unplanned shutdowns and predictive maintenance.

Hence, the market is witnessing growth due to the rising usage by the food & beverages industry and surging demand for energy because of increasing population.

When actuation technology is taken into consideration, the control valves market is categorized into electric control valve, manual control valve, hydraulic control valve, and pneumatic control valve. Among these, the pneumatic control valve category held the largest share of the market during the historical period (2013–2017), accounting for a volume share of over 35.0% in 2017, and is further predicted to retain its position during the forecast period. This is because these valves are simple to operate, offer precise linear motion, and can be utilized in a wide range of temperatures.

In terms of application, the control valves market is divided into wastewater management, power generation, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, automotive, chemicals, food & beverages, and others (which include agriculture, mining, and marine). Out of these, the power generation division dominated the market during the historical period, in terms of volume. However, the oil & gas division is expected to account for the major share of the market in 2023. The pharmaceuticals division is predicted to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period.

A key driving factor of the control valves market is the rising need for wireless infrastructure for monitoring and controlling equipment in different industries, such as power plants and oil & gas. Companies face difficulty in maintaining different units in large scale oil fields, which has resulted in the increasing usage of wireless infrastructure, including automated valves. These valves can be controlled from the central control unit. Attributed to these factors, various units of oil & gas facilities are being fitted with these valves that are controlled remotely.

The rising usage of control valves by the food & beverages industry is another key driving factor of the control valves market. Due to the increase in disposable income, people are increasingly spending their income on processed foods, which, in turn, has led to a growth in the number of food processing plants. These plants make use of control valves in different units. The commonly utilized valves in this industry are check, globe, and gate valves. Moreover, butterfly and ball valves are used by the dairy processing industry for preventing leakage and contamination.

A key trend being witnessed in the control valves market is the development of new valve technology, which includes the development of valves which are embedded withs sensors. Conventional valves were utilized mechanically without any chips or processors embedded in it. However, now the manufacturers are focusing on developing new technologies which will allow the valves to deliver real time data on flow rates and operating conditions. In addition to this, these valves will also aid in the prediction of maintenance and unplanned shutdowns.

Hence, the market is being driven by the increasing utilization of control valves in the food & beverages industry and rising requirement for wireless infrastructure to control and monitor equipment.
