Ball Valves Global Market Report 2025

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.

The ball valves market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $13.67 billion in 2024 to $14.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to oil and gas exploration and production, water and wastewater treatment, petrochemical and chemical processing, focus on energy efficiency, infrastructure development, automation and control systems.

The ball valves market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to focus on smart valves, rise in renewable energy projects, water scarcity concerns, stringent environmental regulations, resilience in supply chains, emergence of new end-user industries. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automation and control systems, integration of advanced materials, increasing role in industrial process control, demand for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, shift towards floating ball valve designs, strategic mergers and acquisitions.

Rapid urbanization is expected to be a driving force behind the growth of the ball valve market in the foreseeable future. The ongoing development of infrastructure and construction activities stemming from urbanization has led to an increased demand for ball valves. According to a World Bank report in 2022, approximately 4.4 billion people, constituting 56% of the global population, resided in cities. Projections indicate that by 2050, nearly 7 out of 10 individuals will live in urban areas, surpassing the current urban population. Consequently, this surge in urbanization acts as a catalyst propelling the expansion of the ball valve market.

The adoption of 3D printing technologies has become a key trend in the ball valve market. 3D printing is a method of creating three-dimensional objects layer by layer using a computer-generated design, enabling customization to meet specific customer requirements. For instance, in October 2023, ThyssenKrupp Materials Services, the material distribution and supply chain arm of ThyssenKrupp AG, a Germany-based industrial engineering and steel manufacturing company, along with Wilh. Wilhelmsen Ships Service, a Norway-based shipping company, made significant investments in 3D printing technology as a solution. Utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques, critical spare parts can now be produced more quickly and cost-effectively compared to traditional methods. Valland SpA, an Italy-based manufacturer of ball, gate, and check valves, designed a ball valve that was 3D printed by ThyssenKrupp using recycled metal supplied by F3nice AS, an Italian metal powder company that upcycles decommissioned ship spare parts for 3D printing.

The adoption of 3D printing technologies stands out as a significant trend gaining traction within the ball valve market. Leveraging this technique for building three-dimensional objects layer by layer based on computer-generated designs, companies are optimizing valves to meet specific customer requirements. For instance, Neles Corporation, a Finland-based entity specializing in industrial valve design and manufacturing, introduced a 3D-printed valve from its T5-series standard stainless steel ball valve for field testing in May 2021. This initiative provided valuable insights into the potential of utilizing 3D printing for pressure-retaining parts, significantly reducing lead times. Moreover, 3D-printed noise attenuation trims exhibit improved flow paths and utilize less material compared to traditionally manufactured trims, showcasing the advancements and benefits of employing 3D printing in valve production.

Leading companies in the ball valve market are innovating by introducing advanced trunnion-mounted metal-seated valves to improve safety and performance in high-pressure environments. These valves offer increased stability and lower operating torque, making them suitable for high-cycle shut-off and throttling applications. Their robust design ensures durability under extreme conditions, reducing maintenance frequency and overall lifecycle costs. Moreover, they meet strict fugitive emissions standards, contributing to sustainability efforts in modern industries. For example, in February 2024, Valmet, a Finland-based company specializing in process technologies, automation, and services, introduced the Neles XH ball valve, the latest in its X-series family. This trunnion-mounted, metal-seated ball valve, compliant with ASME Class 600 standards, is designed for safe, high-cycle shut-off and throttling under high pressure differentials. It is aimed at industries such as chemical and petrochemical plants, oil and gas refining, and power generation. The Neles XH valve enhances reliability, extends maintenance intervals, and complies with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15848 standards for fugitive emissions, ensuring long-term sustainable performance.

In April 2022, IIT Inc., a US-based manufacturer of highly engineered critical components, acquired Habonim for $140 million. This acquisition is expected to boost IIT's sales growth by leveraging Habonim's ball valve portfolio and focusing on challenging applications in high-value markets. Habonim is an Israel-based company specializing in the manufacture of ball valves and actuation technologies.
