Lined Valve Global Market Report 2024

Description

Lined valves are specialized industrial valves with an internal protective lining made of materials such as fluoropolymers (such as PTFE, PFA, or FEP), rubber, or other corrosion-resistant substances. This lining enhances their resistance to corrosive and abrasive fluids, making them ideal for challenging applications where unlined valves would deteriorate quickly. Their primary function is to ensure reliable control and regulation of fluid flow, especially in systems where fluids are highly corrosive, abrasive, or damaging to standard valve materials.

The main types of lined valves include ball valves, butterfly valves, plug valves, globe valves, gate valves, among others. A ball valve, for instance, uses a spherical obstruction (the ball) to manage fluid flow. Lined valves are constructed using various materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), modified polytetrafluoroethylene (TFM), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), and others. These valves find applications across industries such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, pulp and paper, and more.

These lined valve market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The lined valve market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.10 billion in 2023 to $3.26 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. Historical growth factors include heightened demand from chemical processing industries, stricter environmental regulations fostering safer valve technologies, expansion of water treatment infrastructure projects, increased utilization of lined valves in mining operations, and a growing emphasis on corrosion-resistant materials.

The lined valve market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.99 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. Forecasted growth drivers include escalating investments in water treatment infrastructure, heightened demand for lined valves in oil and gas sectors, expansion of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, increased focus on energy-efficient manufacturing, rising demand for specialty chemical production, and growth in mining and minerals exploration activities. Anticipated trends encompass the adoption of smart valve technologies, development of eco-friendly lined valve solutions, integration of Internet of Things (IoT) for remote valve monitoring and maintenance, advancements in valve sealing technologies, and a growing emphasis on automation technology.

The lined valve market is poised for growth, propelled by the expanding oil and gas sector. This industry encompasses activities such as petroleum product exploration, extraction, refining, transportation, and marketing. With global energy demand increasing due to population growth and economic progress, the oil and gas sector is experiencing significant expansion. Lined valves play a crucial role in supporting this growth by ensuring efficient flow control, lowering maintenance costs, and improving operational safety. For instance, in April 2024, China's crude oil imports surged by 10% compared to 2022, reaching 11.3 million barrels per day, as reported by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). This surge underscores the impact of the oil and gas sector's expansion on the lined valve market's growth trajectory.

Key players in the lined valve market are innovating with advanced technologies such as smart valve positioner technology to enhance control accuracy and efficiency in industrial processes. Smart valve positioners automatically adjust valve positions using sensor feedback and advanced control algorithms, boosting process control effectiveness and reliability through precise valve positioning. Emerson, a US-based technology and software company, received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in April 2022 for its TopWorx PD Series Smart Valve Positioner. This technology utilizes 4-20 mA loop signals and HART protocols for precise valve control, incorporating Hall effect position detection and dual configurable alarms. It caters to rotary and linear actuators in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, offering easy installation and reliable operation in challenging environments.

In January 2021, DeZURIK Inc., a US-based valve manufacturer, acquired Red Valve Company to expand its product portfolio and bolster expertise in flow control solutions. Red Valve, specializing in industrial valves, in-line check valves, and flow control products for sectors such as water treatment, mining, chemical processing, and power generation, adds valuable capabilities to DeZURIK's offerings.
