The global Smart Digital Positioners market size is predicted to grow from US$ 604 million in 2025 to US$ 813 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2031.
Smart Digital Positioners are digital valve controllers, microprocessor-based, current to pneumatic instruments with internal logic capability. They are designed to convert a current signal to a pressure signal to operate a valve while monitoring and recording data. They function very similarly to an analog-type positioner, except the electronic signal conversion is digital rather than analog.
Smart control valve positioners are devices used to accurately control the position of control valves in various industrial processes. Here are potential drivers that could influence the Smart Control Valve Positioners market:
Process Automation: The increasing demand for process automation in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, and manufacturing drives the adoption of smart control valve positioners.
