Ball Valves Global Market Report 2026

A ball valve serves as a crucial emergency stop valve, regulating the flow of liquids or gases through the rotation of a bore-contained ball. This valve type is instrumental in shutting down fluids in upstream oil and gas production facilities, both onshore and offshore.

Key types of ball valves include trunnion-mounted ball valves, floating ball valves, and rising stem ball valves. These valves are constructed from materials such as steel, cast iron, cryogenic alloys, and others. Trunnion-mounted ball valves feature a restricted ball rotation supported by bearings, often utilizing spring mechanisms to press the challenging seat against the stationary ball. This system minimizes bearing pressure and prevents shaft fatigue. Ball valves are available in various sizes, including <1', 1'-5', 6'-24', 25'-50', and >50'. Industries employing ball valves span oil and gas, energy and power, water and wastewater treatment, chemicals, building and construction, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, metals and mining, pulp and paper, as well as food and beverages.

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 are affecting the ball valves market by increasing costs of imported steel, alloy materials, valve castings, actuators, and precision machining components used in industrial valve manufacturing. Oil and gas, energy, and water infrastructure projects in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported valve components, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented valve production. These tariffs are increasing procurement costs and extending project timelines. At the same time, they are encouraging domestic valve manufacturing, localized sourcing, and innovation in material-efficient valve designs.

The ball valves market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $13.98 billion in 2025 to $14.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas infrastructure, growth of water and wastewater treatment facilities, increasing industrial process automation, rising demand for reliable flow control solutions, improvements in valve material engineering.

The ball valves market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.09 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart pipeline systems, rising adoption of automated flow control, expansion of energy and power projects, growing demand for low-maintenance valves, increasing focus on operational safety and compliance. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated and smart ball valves, rising demand for high-pressure and high-temperature valves, growing integration of actuators and control systems, expansion of corrosion-resistant valve materials, enhanced focus on leak-proof performance.

The expanding oil and gas industry is expected to drive the growth of the ball valve market going forward. The oil and gas sector encompasses the exploration, extraction, refining, transportation, and marketing of petroleum products. Ball valves are widely used in this industry to control the flow of high-pressure liquids and gases while minimizing pressure drop. For example, in March 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based federal statistical agency, U.S. crude oil production averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, reaching a peak of over 13.3 million b/d in December, with the U.S., Russia, and Saudi Arabia collectively contributing 40% of global oil output at 32.8 million b/d. Consequently, the growth of the oil and gas industry is fueling demand for ball valves.

Key players in the ball valve market are developing advanced trunnion-mounted metal-seated valves to enhance safety and performance in high-pressure applications. These valves offer improved stability and reduced operating torque, making them suitable for high-cycle shut-off and throttling. Their robust design withstands extreme conditions, extending maintenance intervals and reducing lifecycle costs. They also comply with strict fugitive emissions standards, supporting sustainability goals in modern industrial operations. For instance, in February 2024, Valmet, a Finland-based provider of process technologies, automation, and services, launched the Neles XH ball valve, the newest addition to its X-series ball valve lineup. This trunnion-mounted metal-seated valve, compliant with ASME Class 600, is designed for high-cycle shut-off and throttling under high-pressure differentials. Targeting industries such as chemical and petrochemical plants, oil and gas refining, and power generation, the Neles XH valve enhances reliability, extends maintenance intervals, and meets ISO 15848 standards for fugitive emissions, ensuring sustainable performance throughout its lifecycle.

In October 2024, Flowserve Corporation, a US-based provider of engineered and industrial pumps, seals, valves, and flow management services, acquired MOGAS Industries for approximately $305 million. This acquisition allows Flowserve to expand its severe-service valve portfolio and strengthen aftermarket capabilities across mining, mineral extraction, and other high-demand process industries. MOGAS Industries is a US-based provider of severe-service metal-seated ball valves and related flow control solutions for extreme-temperature and high-pressure industrial applications.
