Vacuum valves sit atop storage tanks to manage gas flow or isolate vacuum chambers in furnaces or vacuum vessels.
Vacuum valves encompass pressure control valves, isolation valves, transfer valves, air admittance valves, and check valves. Pressure control valves regulate system pressure, adjusting force on hydraulic components. These valves are crafted from materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, glass, polyvinyl chloride, and others. They operate within low-to-medium vacuum (> 10-3 torr), high vacuum (10-3->10-8 torr), and very high vacuum (10-8 torr) ranges. Various industries, including analytical instruments, chemicals, flat-panel display manufacturing, food & beverages, paper & pulp, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, thin-film coatings, and others, rely on these valves for their operations.

This vacuum valve market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The vacuum valve market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial manufacturing demand, semiconductor and electronics industry, healthcare and analytical instruments, research and development activities, energy and power generation.
The vacuum valve market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued industrial applications, advancements in semiconductor technology, biomedical instrumentation, expansion in analytical instrumentation, renewable energy projects. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on energy efficiency, growing applications in thin-film deposition, environmental and regulatory compliance, R&D investments for enhanced performance, globalization of manufacturing.
The vacuum valve market anticipates an upswing owing to the escalating production of flat-panel displays for consumer electronics. Flat-panel displays, smaller and more energy-efficient than CRTs, drive demand for vacuum and emission reduction equipment in their manufacturing. Hindustan Times reported the FPD market at $100 billion in 2020, projected to exceed $125 billion by 2024. This surge in flat-panel display production acts as a driver for the vacuum valve market's growth.
The advancing semiconductor industry is poised to propel the vacuum valve market's growth. As semiconductor technology strives for smaller nodes and increased processing power, the industry increasingly relies on vacuum valves to accommodate these advancements. Shrinking nodes and evolving chip designs necessitate more vacuum-reliant processes. The Semiconductor Industry Association reported a record-breaking $574.1 billion in global semiconductor industry sales in 2022, marking a 3.3% increase from the previous year's $555.9 billion. This surge in the semiconductor sector fuels the expansion of the vacuum valve market.
Major companies in the vacuum valve market are concentrating on advanced solutions, such as ball valves, to effectively manage fluid flow. Ball valves are shut-off valves that regulate fluid movement through a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball, making them suitable for isolation and throttling applications across various industries. For example, in June 2022, CKD Corporation, a Japan-based company known for developing and manufacturing automation and control components, launched the Multi-fit valve. This direct-acting 2 and 3-port solenoid valve is designed for multi-fluid control and is compatible with a wide range of fluids, including compressed air, dry air (inert gas), water, oil, and vacuum. Its versatility allows it to be used in various environments, from industrial settings to medical facilities. Additionally, the valve features a quiet operation design, making it ideal for noise-sensitive areas such as laboratories and hospitals.
Major companies in the vacuum valve market are focusing on developing innovations like vacuum conveyors to tackle material handling challenges. A vacuum conveyor is a system that utilizes suction to transport bulk dry materials, such as powders, within a factory or production facility. For instance, in May 2022, Pfeiffer Vacuum, a Germany-based company specializing in vacuum technology, opened a new 40,000 square foot facility to serve North American customers across various industries, including semiconductors, medical devices, consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. This facility features a Leak Detection Center of Excellence, which offers in-person and interactive training on leak detection technologies, enabling customers to test parts using methods such as air, helium, and hydrogen.
In April 2024, Atlas Copco Group, a Sweden-based company offering a diverse range of products and services across Compressor Technique, Vacuum Technique, Industrial Technique, and Power Technique, acquired Presys Co., Ltd for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Atlas Copco to integrate Presys's transfer and isolation vacuum valves, which complement its existing semiconductor product offerings. By acquiring Presys, Atlas Copco strengthens its position in the semiconductor market, particularly in vacuum technology, which is essential for semiconductor manufacturing processes. Presys Co., Ltd, based in South Korea, specializes in manufacturing and distributing vacuum valves tailored specifically for the semiconductor industry.
