Metal valves are versatile, durable, and reliable instruments constructed from metal, specifically designed to manage and control the flow of liquids, gases, and slurries from storage containers to their designated points of use within various industries, ensuring precise regulation of raw materials.
The primary categories within the realm of metal valves comprise industrial valves, fluid power valves, hose fittings, plumbing fixture fittings and trim, and other specialized types. Industrial valves serve as devices employed to regulate the flow of liquids, gases, and slurries, typically by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways or pipes. These valves encompass a range of products such as pressure-reducing valves, safety/relief valves, control valves, globe valves, plug valves, gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, diaphragm valves, and others. These valves find applications across diverse industries, including chemicals, marine, construction, mining, oil & gas, and other sectors.
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 imported metals and valve components have impacted the metal valve market by raising production costs and disrupting supply chains. Industrial, oil and gas, and chemical applications are most affected, particularly in asia-pacific, north america, and europe. While higher duties have increased operational costs and slowed procurement, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing, domestic sourcing, and investment in durable, high-performance valves to strengthen market resilience.
The metal valve market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides metal valve market statistics, including metal valve industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a metal valve market share, detailed metal valve market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the metal valve industry. This metal 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 metal valve market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $288.94 billion in 2025 to $299.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of oil and gas industry, expansion of chemical and petrochemical plants, increasing maritime and marine applications, rise in construction and infrastructure projects, adoption of metal valves in mining operations.
The metal valve market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $356.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in renewable energy projects, growth in process automation and smart factories, rising demand in water treatment and utilities, expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical industries, adoption of advanced high-performance valve materials. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for industrial metal valves, increasing adoption of automated valve control systems, growth in high-pressure and specialty valve applications, expansion of metal valve usage in oil and gas sector, focus on durable and corrosion-resistant valve materials.
The expansion of the chemical industry is expected to support the growth of the metal valves market in the coming years. Metal valves - including butterfly, ball, gate, check, globe, plug, and actuated valves - play a critical role in chemical processing operations, which contributes to increasing demand for these products. For example, according to a report from the American Chemistry Council, chemical production in the United States remains strong, with all segments of the industry experiencing growth. The council projects that chemical output will rise by 2.4% in 2023, while capital spending is expected to increase by 5.5% in the same year. Therefore, growth in the chemical industry is anticipated to drive expansion in the metal valves market.
Companies in the metal valves sector are developing innovative products such as 3D-printed valves to maintain competitiveness and enhance their market presence. These valves, produced using 3D printing technology, are fully functional components capable of controlling air or water flow. For instance, in September 2023, 3DR Holdings reported that Bonney Forge successfully certified a 3D-printed valve made from stainless steel alloy UNS S31603 at its 3D Printing Center of Excellence, with the certification recognized by Shell. This development represents a significant technological advancement, as 3D printing enables the production of complex shapes and customized designs that were previously difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.
In October 2025, Georg Fischer AG, a Switzerland-based industrial technology company, acquired VAG Group GmbH for approximately USD 0.222 billion (CHF 200 million). The acquisition is intended to broaden GF's metal valve portfolio by incorporating VAG Group's established range of valves used in utility water systems and critical infrastructure into its Industry and Infrastructure Flow Solutions division. This integration is expected to strengthen GF's ability to provide comprehensive flow management solutions globally. VAG Group GmbH is a Germany-based manufacturer specializing in metal valves for water infrastructure and industrial applications.
