Ball Valves Market Report 2026

The ball valves market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $13.98 billion in 2025 to $14.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas infrastructure, growth of water and wastewater treatment facilities, increasing industrial process automation, rising demand for reliable flow control solutions, improvements in valve material engineering.

The ball valves market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.09 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart pipeline systems, rising adoption of automated flow control, expansion of energy and power projects, growing demand for low-maintenance valves, increasing focus on operational safety and compliance. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated and smart ball valves, rising demand for high-pressure and high-temperature valves, growing integration of actuators and control systems, expansion of corrosion-resistant valve materials, enhanced focus on leak-proof performance.

The expanding oil and gas industry is expected to drive the growth of the ball valve market going forward. The oil and gas sector encompasses the exploration, extraction, refining, transportation, and marketing of petroleum products. Ball valves are widely used in this industry to control the flow of high-pressure liquids and gases while minimizing pressure drop. For example, in March 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based federal statistical agency, U.S. crude oil production averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, reaching a peak of over 13.3 million b/d in December, with the U.S., Russia, and Saudi Arabia collectively contributing 40% of global oil output at 32.8 million b/d. Consequently, the growth of the oil and gas industry is fueling demand for ball valves.

Key players in the ball valve market are developing advanced trunnion-mounted metal-seated valves to enhance safety and performance in high-pressure applications. These valves offer improved stability and reduced operating torque, making them suitable for high-cycle shut-off and throttling. Their robust design withstands extreme conditions, extending maintenance intervals and reducing lifecycle costs. They also comply with strict fugitive emissions standards, supporting sustainability goals in modern industrial operations. For instance, in February 2024, Valmet, a Finland-based provider of process technologies, automation, and services, launched the Neles XH ball valve, the newest addition to its X-series ball valve lineup. This trunnion-mounted metal-seated valve, compliant with ASME Class 600, is designed for high-cycle shut-off and throttling under high-pressure differentials. Targeting industries such as chemical and petrochemical plants, oil and gas refining, and power generation, the Neles XH valve enhances reliability, extends maintenance intervals, and meets ISO 15848 standards for fugitive emissions, ensuring sustainable performance throughout its lifecycle.

In October 2024, Flowserve Corporation, a US-based provider of engineered and industrial pumps, seals, valves, and flow management services, acquired MOGAS Industries for approximately $305 million. This acquisition allows Flowserve to expand its severe-service valve portfolio and strengthen aftermarket capabilities across mining, mineral extraction, and other high-demand process industries. MOGAS Industries is a US-based provider of severe-service metal-seated ball valves and related flow control solutions for extreme-temperature and high-pressure industrial applications.
