This advancement has been instrumental for the higher adoption rate of these valves in the industries and support the market growth.
Growth Restraints:
Although certain technical drawbacks are hindering the market growth of this valves. Some of them are sensitivity towards voltage fluctuation during operation, effect of flow on the valve fluid. Additionally, the solenoid coil may need to change over the lifetime of the valve. These drawbacks along with moderate to high price of 4-way and 5-way solenoid valves are restraining the market growth during the study period.
Segments Overview:
The global solenoid valves market is segmented into type, function, material, operation, media and industry.
By Type
- Direct-acting valves
- Pilot-operated valves
Direct-acting valves is anticipated to generate a revenue of more than USD 1,000.0 million during 2022 to 2030. Some distinct advantages of direct acting valves supported the growth of this segment during the forecast period. Some of them are, these valves can be used in negative pressure circuit, also widely available in compact 2/2 way normally open or closed version.
On the other hand, pilot operated valves are forecasted to grow with a significant CAGR due to efficiency during very large flow, in a minimum pressure differential.
By Function
- 2-way
- 3-way
- 4-way
- 5-way
The 2-way solenoid valves hold more than 35% of the market share in 2021. Wide range of application field along with affordability contribute to the significant market share of this segment. Application in variable flow system, chilled or hot water application are some of the application field for these types of valves.
Apart from that, 5-way solenoid valves are expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the study period. Technological advancement along with application as directional control valves are some of the factors for the highest CAGR of this segment.
By Material
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Plastic
- Others
The stainless-steel segment is anticipated to cross USD 2,000.0 million by the year 2025. Increasing preference towards stainless steel due to its high anti corrosive nature along with high durability as compared to other materials. However, aluminum segment is also gaining popularity because of its wide adoption in automotive system, vacuum system, and others.
By Operation
- Normally open
- Normally closed
- Universal
The normally open solenoid valves hold more than 60% of the market share in 2021. Low cost structure and energy saving option for those industries where minimum stoppage of flow is required. This is leading to the large adoption of these valve across the globe. However, reversible use of universal valves are one of the major factors for the significant CAGR of this segment during the study period.
By Media
- Air
- Gas
- Water
The air segment is anticipated to contribute more than USD 950.0 million during the forecast period. Increasing application of pilot operated pneumatic solenoid valves for the efficient control of air cylinder and air actuators are one of the major factors for the growth of this segment.
By Industry
- Oil & Gas
- Chemical & Petrochemical
- F&B
- Power Generation
- Pharmaceuticals
- Automotive
- Medical
- Others
The chemical & petrochemical segment is forecasted to grow with the highest CAGR during the study period owing to rising adoption of solenoid valve in the chemical industry to increase the efficiency and provide a safe and environment especially during the leakage of any harmful chemicals while operation.
Automotive segment is forecasted to contribute more than USD 500.0 million in 2023 owing to rising adoption of solenoid valve to regulate the flow of oil, anti-skid brake fluid and others in the motor vehicle.
Regional Overview
By region, the global solenoid valves market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
The North America region accounted for the lion’s share of more than 40% of the market 2021.
