Control Valve Sales Burgeoning in Asia-Pacific

Almost every factory has an extensive network of pipes, hoses, vats, silos, storage tanks, liquid inlets and outlets, pumps, and nozzles for some or the other purpose. From food and beverage and chemical, which would seem two of the obvious sectors when thinking of such infrastructure, to automotive and power generation, every industry needs these components and systems. As a result, the demand for control valves, to regulate the amount of liquid flowing through a system or subsystem, has always been high. Control valves are also widely, and, perhaps, more familiarly, found in non-industrial settings; the water tap seen in houses and gardens being the simplest example.

Thus, considering the burgeoning population and industrial output, P&S Intelligence expects the control valves market revenue to increase from $11,137.0 million in 2017 to $16,057.5 million by 2023, at a 6.3% CAGR during the forecast period. What most people don’t know is the technicalities of such seemingly simple devices, such as their various types, which include ball, cryogenic, butterfly, globe, plug, diaphragm, and gate. These terms denote the actual technology, or the actual component, that the valves use to control the flow.

Further, on the basis of actuation technology, the control valves market categories are manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric; these technologies denote how the valves are actually operated. Among these, pneumatically controlled valves, where air pressure acts as the force, account for the highest usage. This is because of their simpler design, precise linear motion, and ability to function in temperatures ranging from –40 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to these advantages, the pneumatic category will witness the fastest growth over the forecast period.

To make industrial operations even smoother, valves, regardless of their type and actuation technology, are being embedded with sensors and microchips. With such sensors, data on the operating conditions and flow rates through the valves can be obtained, which additionally allows manufacturers to schedule predictive maintenance. The integration of chips into such devices is, in part, in keeping with the growing usage of the internet of things (IoT) technology and industrial automation solutions around the world.

Similarly, APAC also requires a lot of electricity, which is why it is home to a huge number of power plants, which are another important application area of control valves. For instance, such components are absolutely vital at hydroelectricity plants, as the pressure of the water needs to be substantially high to be able to turn the turbine. Similarly, even in thermal power plants, valves are used to let water in and out; here, the turbines are spun by high-pressure steam.

Hence, with the growing population and industrial production, the demand for control valves will keep booming.
