Ball Valves Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Size (Size- 1”–6”, Size- 25” to 50”), Material (Alloy, Cast Iron, Cryogenic), Type (Rising Stem Ball Valves, Trunnion Mounted Ball Valves) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ball Valves Market is accounted for $9.27 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $23.92 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. A ball valve is a flow control device that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control liquid flowing through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow inlet and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand from healthcare and pharmaceuticals industries

Industrial valves play an important role in the manufacturing of different types of medical devices, which has provided several key valve players the opportunity to expand their businesses. Emerson’s valves are capable of managing pressure relief and keeping equipment and materials clean in sterilizers. Additionally, they are used in oxygen therapy devices to help high-risk patients or those in recovery and support blood analyzers and other vital hematology equipment. The company’s high-pressure and high-purity valves also provide oxygen supply to pop-up and remote hospitals and triage centers. Companies are increasingly investing in research and development about the automation of the pharmaceuticals industry with the help of smart valves. Likewise, pharmaceutical companies are seeking to develop sophisticated fluid handling systems, such as automatic sanitizer dispensers and liquid soap dispensers, which, in turn, are generating demand for ball valves. Thus, the growing production of healthcare devices and increasing R&D investments in the pharma field boost the growth of the market.

Restraint:

Lack of standardized norms and governing policies

Different regional certifications and policies are considered for manufacturing ball valves. These authorizations and guidelines differ based on diverse applications, industries, and respective regions. Ball valves find applications in diverse industries such as oil & gas, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, energy & power, water & wastewater, building and construction, chemicals, semiconductor, and paper & pulp and such heterogeneity acts as a restraining factor as valve manufacturers have to amend the same product concerning regional policies. Also, it becomes difficult for industry players to achieve the ideal cost of fabrication. Thus, the lack of one certification and policy across the globe restraints the growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for cast iron

The rapid increase in the demand for cast iron will create opportunities for the market. The utilization of iron in pipes, the automotive industry, and machines has led to the growth of the cast iron industry. With the growth in the cast iron market, the production will increase, which will boost the ball valve manufacturers’ profitability. The rising demand in the oil and gas industry for a large number of ball valves has escalated the growth of the market. The wide range of its applications has created numerous opportunities for the expansion of the market size.

Threat:

Durability

The extensive range of its applications in diverse sectors allows the growth of the market, but certain limitations limit the growth of the market. One of such challenges is the durability of the ball valves, as the valves may jam after rigorous use. The availability of other substitutes for ball valves can threaten the growth of the market.

Oil & Gas segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Oil & Gas segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period, due to its acceptance of it in several applications in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. It delivers method control support by suitably controlling and positioning actuators. They have become significant components in offshore and onshore oil & gas end-user industry operations, wherein high pressure and adverse corrosive conditions are experienced on production platforms and refineries.

The Water & Wastewater segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Water & Wastewater segment is expected to grow at highest CAGR during forecasted period. The growth is accredited to numerous factors such as the growing demand for desalination and waste water treatment plants. Moreover, government initiatives have been taken to provide safe and consumable water is driving the growth of the water & wastewater segment.

Region with highest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, owing to growing urbanization and rapid industrialization in emerging economies like China and South Korea are driving the province’s demand for the ball valve industry. The developed electronics industry in Asia-Pacific and the implementation of emerging technologies have provided the regional organizations with a competitive lead in the market. Also, the chemical companies are investing in expanding their facilities in the Asia-Pacific province due to low-cost labour, which in turn boosts the market's growth prospects.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, due to support from strict regulations governing wastewater management; the segment is experiencing substantial industry-wide penetration and is gaining considerable revenue in the process. The increasing R&D activities in the province about the use of actuators in the valves for automation and the rising demand for safety applications are among the crucial factors driving the market in North America. Furthermore, R&D at industry levels is broadening the application areas of ball valves in diverse industries, such as energy & power and chemicals are some of the factors motivating the market growth in this province.
