The expanding oil & gas and power sectors are anticipated to drive the growth of the control valve market in the near future. The oil & gas industry comprises companies involved in discovering resources, transporting them to refineries, and processing them into finished products. Meanwhile, the power industry includes businesses that provide gas and electricity for both domestic and commercial use. The surge in these industries necessitates the installation of control valves for processing and distribution. For example, in October 2023, the US Energy Information Administration reported an increase in U.S. crude oil output to 12.4 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, up from the record high of 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Additionally, in September 2022, U.S. consumption of natural gas reached an average of 86.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), marking the highest annual consumption of natural gas in the U.S. compared to the previous year. Consequently, the growth of the oil & gas and power industries is fueling the expansion of the control valves market.

The rising investment in infrastructure is expected to further propel the growth of the control valve market. Infrastructure encompasses the essential physical and organizational structures, facilities, systems, and services crucial for the operation of a society, community, or enterprise. Control valves play a vital role in these infrastructure systems by regulating the flow of liquids or gases to ensure optimal operation and efficiency in applications such as water supply, wastewater treatment, energy distribution, and various industrial processes. For instance, in March 2023, Global X ETF, a U.S.-based fund management firm, noted that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), valued at $1.2 trillion, marks a significant step for the United States in improving its infrastructure. Over the next decade, the IIJA is set to invest $550 billion to enhance roads, bridges, airports, and railroads, extend access to clean drinking water and broadband internet, and promote environmental justice. Therefore, the growing investment in infrastructure is driving the control valve market's expansion.

Key companies operating within the control valve market are innovating featured valves such as butterfly valve ranges to optimize flow balancing in control valve applications. A butterfly valve is a type of quarter-turn valve employing a rotating disk to regulate fluid flow within pipes or tubes. For example, in July 2022, Valmet, a Finland-based developer and supplier of process technologies, introduced the Neles Q-Disc, a high-performance feature aimed at enhancing flow balancing in control valve applications. The Q-Disc, tailored for control applications, constitutes a vital part of Valmet's diverse butterfly valve product range, addressing complexities in various process conditions. Its advantages include averting the need for oversized actuators and offering an energy-efficient solution with reduced costs. Moreover, the Q-Disc effectively addresses issues such as cavitation and significantly reduces noise, up to 12 dB in specific flow conditions. The modular option caters to a range of butterfly valves, fostering improved reliability and operational efficiency across various process operations.

Prominent companies within the control valve market are actively engaged in developing intelligent devices, such as smart valve positioners, aimed at elevating valve control and monitoring functionalities. A Smart Valve Positioner represents an intelligent apparatus meticulously crafted to accurately detect and manage the positioning of a valve across diverse industrial processes. For instance, in April 2022, Emerson, a US-based provider specializing in fluid control and pneumatics technology, introduced the TopWorx PD Series Smart Valve Positioner, a substantial addition to its suite of valve control solutions. Leveraging Hall effect technology, the PD Series ensures dependable valve positioning while integrating communication via a 4-20 mA loop signal and HART protocols. Its contactless position detection, coupled with two PNP alarms and robust environmental resilience, renders it suitable for a wide array of applications. The PD Series offers predictive maintenance insights, enhancing both plant productivity and safety standards. Its compact design facilitates swift installation on both rotary and linear actuators, showcasing its versatility across multiple industries.
