Diaphragm Valve Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Straight-way and Weir), Sales Channel (Aftermarket and Manufacturer/Distributor/Service Provider), End User (Chemical, Water Treatment, Food and Beverage, Power, Pharmaceutical and Other End Users) and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Diaphragm Valve Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. A diaphragm valve is a type of valve used to shut off and throttle the flow of liquids, slurries, vacuum, or gas. During chemical processing and waste disposal, the diaphragm valve is primarily used to provide safety and isolation from containment. These valves come with a glass lining, metal, rubber, or plastic exterior. The expansion of nuclear power plants is encouraged by the rising energy demand around the world, which is good news for the diaphragm valve market.
According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Bioprocessing Equipment Standard, Revision 2009 (ASME BPE 2009), Appendix J, Sub-section J2, Simulated Steam-in-Place (SIP) for diaphragm valves indicates that the round diaphragm in the next-generation diaphragm valve has about twice the lifespan of the traditional square diaphragm. This reduces the cost of diaphragm valve spare parts and further reduces maintenance and downtime.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing demand from various end-use industries
The increasing demand from various end-use industries in various countries, such as water treatment, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage, for valves that can handle corrosive and abrasive materials, is driving the growth of the diaphragm valves market. Demand for advanced valves, including diaphragm valves, is increasing as industrial automation becomes more prevalent. These valves can be integrated into automated systems, ensuring that they operate smoothly and efficiently.
Restraint:
Limited application scope in competitive market
Due to their design and construction, diaphragm valves have a limited range of applications in a competitive market. They can handle low-pressure applications but not high-temperature or high-pressure applications, which may limit their use in some industries. Moreover, numerous players are offering similar products. This intense competition may have an impact on market growth because companies may have to compete on price, which may reduce their profit margins.
Opportunity:
Low maintenance & Stringent government regulations
Diaphragm valves are well-known for their low maintenance requirements, making them a popular choice in a variety of industries. The reduced need for maintenance results in cost savings for end users. Moreover, the demand for diaphragm valves is being driven by government regulations requiring the use of safe and efficient valves in industries such as water treatment and pharmaceutical. These valves comply with various industry standards and regulations, ensuring operational safety and efficiency, driving demand for these valves.
Threat:
Availability of Substitutes
Alternative valve types on the market include ball valves and gate valves, both of which can handle corrosive and abrasive materials. This may have an impact on demand for diaphragm valves because end-users may choose alternative valve types based on their specific requirements, diminishing overall market growth.
Covid-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic had a minimal impact on the overall market for diaphragm valves. Due to government restrictions imposed to stop the spread of the virus, industries were forced to close temporarily or permanently. As a result, product demand fell, affecting the diaphragm valves market. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for diaphragm valves in certain industries. During the pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry saw a surge in demand for vaccines, medications, and medical supplies, which increased demand for diaphragm valves used in the production of these products.
The Chemical segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The chemical industry accounted for more than 20% of total revenue in 2017 and is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period. The chemical industry produces its final products through a complex manufacturing process that produces toxic byproducts and industrial waste. Moreover, the use of diaphragm valves enables smooth operations along with effective production processes, minimal wastage and downtimes, and safe waste disposal; such aspects further drive the segment expansion.
The Weir segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to the high temperature resistance and low pressure operation, the Weir diaphragm is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Weir diaphragm valves are used in the process of liquid transfer. It is a type of valve that opens and closes with the movement of a diaphragm or leaf. It has a minimum flow requirement, and it requires less space than conventional ball valves. Additionally, Weir diaphragms are relatively easy to install in pipes and can be installed in both new and existing systems. This makes them a convenient option for flow measurement in a variety of applications.
Region with largest share:
Asia Pacific dominated the global revenue market and is expected to be the largest over the forecast period. Rising demand for water treatment, chemical processing, power generation, and food and beverage applications in emerging economies such as China, India, and Indonesia, among others, can be attributed to this growth. In addition, Diaphragm Valves Manufacturers are shifting their manufacturing facilities to the Asia Pacific due to low labour costs along with easy availability of raw materials such as copper which is used for manufacturing valves in this region.
Region with highest CAGR:
North American region is anticipated to experience a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Demand from various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, water treatment, chemical processing, and food and beverage, drives this market. Furthermore, the market is expected to grow in the coming years as a result of rising demand from various end-use industries, technological advancements, and the need for more efficient and dependable valve solutions, all of which are propelling market growth in North American region.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players in Diaphragm Valve market include The Weir Group plc, Nippon Daiya Valve Co. Ltd, Aira Euro Automation Pvt. Ltd, Erhard GmbH & Co. KG ITT Inc., Hy-Lok USA, GEMÜ Gebr.
