Industrial Valves Global Market Report 2026

Industrial valves are mechanical components designed to control the flow through pipes and other passages by facilitating opening, closing, and partial opening of the passages. They play a crucial role in regulating the flow of fluids, gases, and slurries and can be operated manually or automatically.

The primary types of industrial valves encompass ball valves, check valves, butterfly valves, plug valves, globe valves, gate valves, diaphragm valves, and safety valves. A ball valve, for instance, is a shutoff valve that manages the movement of liquids or gases through the rotation of a ball within a bore. These valves serve various functions such as isolation, regulation, safety relief, special purposes, and non-return, and they are crafted from materials such as ductile iron, carbon steel, plastic, brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, and others. Additional accessories include hydraulic filters, power cables, mounting screws and bolts, seal kits, dust protection covers, among others. These valves find applications in diverse industries such as chemicals, energy and power, oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, building and construction, paper and pulp, metal and mining, agriculture, semiconductors, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on industrial valves have influenced production costs and global supply chains, particularly affecting steel, brass, and other metallic valve materials used in oil & gas, chemicals, and water treatment applications. Asia-Pacific and North America regions are most impacted due to major manufacturing hubs and export activities. While tariffs have increased costs, they have also driven local production, innovation, and adoption of energy-efficient and smart valve solutions.

The industrial valves market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $102.56 billion in 2025 to $105.75 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in oil and gas sector, expansion of chemical and petrochemical industries, increasing demand in water and wastewater treatment, industrialization in emerging economies, adoption of conventional mechanical valves.

The industrial valves market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $123.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in automation and smart manufacturing, increasing use of iot and digital monitoring, demand for energy-efficient and corrosion-resistant valves, growth in semiconductor and power sectors, customization and advanced valve designs for industry-specific needs. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of smart and automated valves, integration of iot-enabled monitoring systems, use of advanced materials for corrosion resistance, demand for energy-efficient valve solutions, expansion in customized valve solutions for industry-specific applications.

The increasing number of oil and gas explorations is anticipated to drive the growth of the industrial valve market in the future. Oil and gas exploration encompasses the methods and techniques used to identify potential drilling locations for extracting these resources. Industrial valves are essential for controlling the flow of oil and gas, managing fluid movement by regulating direction and pressure. For instance, in August 2023, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based statistical agency, reported that oil production in 2023 reached over 12.8 million barrels per day, projected to rise to approximately 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024 and further to 13.4 million barrels per day in 2025. This increase is attributed to enhanced well productivity, despite a decrease in the number of active rigs. Therefore, the growing number of oil and gas explorations is propelling the growth of the industrial valve market.

Major companies operating in the industrial valve market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as high-performance control valves, to improve operational efficiency, minimize equipment footprint, and reduce life-cycle costs across major industrial sectors. A control valve is a mechanical device employed in various industrial processes to manage the flow of fluids (including gas, steam, or liquid), pressure, temperature, or other process parameters by adjusting the flow passage. For example, in October 2025, Azbil Corporation, a Japan-based automation technology company, introduced the 6000 Series of control valves, engineered to meet the IEC 60534 international standard and significantly enhance control performance while boosting productivity throughout a plant's lifecycle. The 6000 Series incorporates an optimized internal design using high-precision CFD analysis, resulting in improved CV performance indices compared with previous models, reduced installation space requirements, lower spare parts inventories, and easier maintainability - enabling customers in petroleum refining, petrochemical, chemical, and related industries to achieve superior fluid control and operational results.

In August 2023, Rotork plc, a UK-based global provider of intelligent flow control solutions, acquired Hanbay Inc. for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Rotork seeks to strengthen its industrial valve actuation capabilities by incorporating Hanbay's precise, compact miniature electric actuators, enhancing its presence in the electrification of small-valve applications and driving growth across key sectors including decarbonization, water, oil and gas, and process industries. Hanbay Inc. is a Canada-based company that develops and manufactures high-torque miniature electric actuators designed to operate small industrial valves and instrument valves in both hazardous and non-hazardous settings.
