Market Analysis

Control valves are mechanical devices that control the flow of fluids in a system by varying the size of the flow passage. Furthermore, they also regulate and control several conditions, such as fluid level, temperature, and pressure, as per the signal received from the control system. The partial or entire opening or closing of control valves is carried out by the actuators. The major components of the valve include its body, bonnet, disk, seat, trim, stem, and plug. Control valves are used mostly in the operations of oil & gas, water & wastewater, chemicals, food & beverage, marine, energy & power, and other industries.
The factors driving the growth of control valve market are increasing investments in water & wastewater industry and construction & upscale of nuclear power plants. The water & wastewater treatment industry consists of several chemical or physical treatment processes and biological wastewater treatment processes for the removal of pollutants & harmful contaminants, such as sulfur, nitrates, and bacteria, from water. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in 2017, in Chile, approximately 99.97% of the population has access to wastewater treatment plant. Furthermore, as per Infrastructure Report Card published by the American Society of Civil Engineers, in 2017, there were 14,748 wastewater treatment plants in the US. Moreover, the demand of wastewater treatment plants is expected to increase by 23% with an estimated investment of USD 271 billion by 2032. Such developments lead to the increase in use of control valves as they help obtain greater control and monitor the flow of water, sludges, and chemicals in the water & wastewater industry.

Regional Analysis

Nuclear power plants are used to generate electricity with the help of nuclear reactors by splitting uranium atoms through fission reaction. The heat generated by the nuclear reactor converts water into steam, which rotates turbine and generators, generating electricity. In 2018, the share of electricity generated by the nuclear power was 10.15% in the world's total electricity generation. Moreover, as per World Nuclear Industry Status Report, 2019, as of the 3rd week of September 2019, there were 415 nuclear reactors operating, globally. Moreover, as of July 2019, there are 46 nuclear power plants under construction phase, globally. Authorities in many countries, such as the US, China, and Russia, are focusing on the construction of new nuclear power plants and the upgrade of the existing plants. For instance, the Chinese Government is working on construction of nuclear power plants, which will lead to the development of two nuclear reactors, namely Fuqing units 5 and 6 in Fujian province of China. Such developments help in the electricity generation to meet the electricity demand of China.
