Valves Actuator and Positioners Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The valves actuator and positioners market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.16% to reach US$3.637 billion by 2027, from US$ 2.393 billion in 2020.

The growing demand for valve automation solutions to facilitate the seamless management of process industries is one of the prime factors that are contributing to the growth of the valve actuator and positioner market during the forecast period. Additionally, it is important to note that due to the recent uptick in the adoption of automated solutions across various sectors, digital valve positioners are in great demand due to their functionalities such as diagnostics and predictive maintenance capabilities despite the fact that they were introduced to the market a few years ago.

Increased investments will further aid market expansion

Moreover, growing investments in manufacturing, chemical processes as well as in the energy sector are poised to propel the growth of the valve actuator and positioners market to stratospheric heights during the forecast period. For instance, as of June 2020, Egypt's cabinet reportedly approved 12 oil and gas exploration and production agreements that include local and international companies whereby exploration and production activities in the Western Desert, the Mediterranean, and the Red Sea will commence. Earlier in June 2019, the EuroChem Group, one of the world leaders in global nitrogen, phosphate, and potash fertilizers, production as well as that of certain mining and industrial products, reportedly invested is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, reportedly commenced the operation of its new ammonia production plant, EuroChem Northwest, with the largest single-train production capacity in Europe, that is to the tune of 1 million tons per year, in Kingisepp, Russia.

Increased key developments in the market in terms of partnerships and launches will aid market growth

Therefore, in view of such panoptic developments that translate to an increasing cognizance of the inseparable roles of actuators, positioners, and valves, it has resulted in various developments by the players in the Valves Actuator and Positioners Market. For example, CIRCOR International, Inc., a leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of differentiated technology products and sub-systems for end-users including but not limited to defense and aerospace, announced the launch of the RTK® REact EQ-L electric intelligent linear actuator for high-range force output as late as April 2020. These actuators are reportedly suitable for processes that require the supporting operations to be continuously operational, like those of chemical, industrial, and power applications. This new actuator is also made available in corrosion-resistant variants that have been specifically developed for applications in offshore operations. Additionally, this product is ideal for applications that have opening/closing forces ranging from 15/3380 pound-force (lbf) to 30-kilo Newtons/6750 lbf.

Again, during the same period, it was reported that pneumatic-digital smart positioners namely YT-3700 and YT-3750, were launched by Rotork, which is a market-leading provider of solutions pertaining to flow-control and instrumentation in mission-critical operations that are integral to chemical processes, industrial, oil and gas, power as well as water and wastewater applications. These two positioners are intended for control and on/off valve applications, where there is a need for diagnostics. The monitoring and graphic display of, internal circuit board temperature over time, set point-target over time, as well as valve position, are the salient features of these two products.

Further, in April 2019, Siemens Corporation expanded its portfolio of positioners with two new products namely the Sipart PS100 and the Sipart PS2. The former is being marketed as a product that is highly robust and easy to commission with a touch of a button and is able to adjust itself with the valve that it is attached to, using contactless technology, facilitating a longer product life. The Sipart PS100 positioner comes with functionalities that can be set to different modes for open/close operation, precise and fast adjustment, and a large easy-to-use display to enable the user to be abreast of the status of the device. On the other hand, the Sipart PS2 is made available with enhanced diagnostics functions that support plant digitalization.

Furthermore, during the same year, in August, Senseg, announced the launch of Senseg ELFIAC™ which is a part of a family of roll-to-roll manufactured actuators to be employed in traditional flat actuator applications as well as newer applications such as that of interior integrated sensors, soft robotics, VR/AR devices, and wearables. Moreover, it has been reported that this product is less expensive to manufacture in comparison to the traditional actuators that are made out of relatively less expensive and non-toxic materials.
