Chilled water valves are specialized components designed to control the flow of chilled water within HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. They are essential for managing the temperature and distribution of chilled water to different areas of a building or industrial process, ensuring effective cooling performance.
The primary types of chilled water valves include 2-way and 3-way chilled water valves. A 2-way chilled water valve has two ports: one for the water inlet and one for the water outlet. These valves are made from various materials such as brass, stainless steel, plastic, cast iron, and bronze. They come in different operation types, including manual, automatic, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic valves. These valves are used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, industrial processes, water treatment plants, refrigeration systems, and power plants, serving a range of end-users in commercial, residential, oil and gas, agriculture, and manufacturing 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 have affected the chilled water valves market by increasing the cost of imported brass, stainless steel, actuators, and electronic control components. These impacts are most evident in automatic and electric valve segments, particularly in North America and Europe. Higher component costs have influenced project budgets. However, tariffs are encouraging domestic valve manufacturing and local sourcing strategies.
The chilled water valves market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides chilled water valves market statistics, including chilled water valves industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an chilled water valves market share, detailed chilled water valves market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the chilled water valves industry. The chilled water valves 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 chilled water valves market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.58 billion in 2025 to $3.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of commercial building construction, expansion of hvac installations, demand for indoor climate control, rise of data centers, urban infrastructure development.
The chilled water valves market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart building adoption, expansion of energy efficient cooling systems, growth of industrial refrigeration, investments in district cooling, stricter energy regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of smart and actuated valves, energy efficient hvac flow control, demand for modulating valve solutions, expansion of district cooling systems, use of corrosion resistant materials.
The surge in high-rise constructions is expected to drive the growth of the chilled water valves market moving forward. High-rise constructions refer to tall buildings or structures with multiple stories that require elevators, advanced structural systems, and specialized engineering methods. The increasing demand for such constructions stems from urban land scarcity, which pushes development vertically to accommodate growing populations and business activities in limited spaces. This growth in vertical development demands efficient HVAC systems to provide adequate cooling across numerous floors, thereby boosting the need for chilled water valves that regulate chilled water flow within these systems. For example, in January 2024, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a US-based non-profit, reported that 185 buildings over 200 meters tall were completed worldwide in 2023, a 12.8% increase from 164 buildings in 2022. Thus, the rise in high-rise construction will support the growth of the chilled water valves market.
Leading companies in the chilled water valves market are developing advanced solutions such as ball valves, designed to provide low pressure drop and minimal leakage. Ball valves manage fluid flow by rotating a hollow, spherical element inside the valve body to allow or block passage. For instance, in March 2024, Veris, a US-based provider of energy management solutions for commercial HVAC, introduced the VB2 Series Ball Valves and VZ2 Series Zone Valves. These valves are specifically designed for closed-loop HVAC hydronic heating and cooling systems, including chilled water applications. The VB2 Series supports both hot and chilled water systems and can handle mixtures containing up to 60% glycol, offering versatility for precise flow control in various HVAC environments.
In August 2024, ARI-Armaturen Albert Richter GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany-based valve manufacturer, acquired Warren Controls Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition expanded ARI's presence in the USA and reinforced its position as a global leader in the valve industry. Incorporating Warren Controls added valuable expertise in control valves, strengthening ARI's regional capabilities. Additionally, the acquisition broadens ARI's product portfolio, allowing it to offer customers a wider range of solutions and services. Warren Controls Inc. is a US-based manufacturer specializing in chilled water valves.
