Existing Restraints

Lack of uniform policies across the regions is expected to hamper the market growth. Industrial valve manufacturers are required to follow regulation policies and certifications of various regions regarding valve manufacturing. This factor results in the manufacturing of products with a diverse range of specifications, as it makes industry players to adhere product manufacturing according to region-based regulations.

Thus, manufacturers have to establish new facilities in each region and they require additional investments and resources to meet the requirements of production. The additional capital investment required for adhering to regulations in various regions is anticipated to hinder market expansion.                

Emerging Opportunities

Expansion of petrochemical and refinery plants enlarges the profitable opportunities for the market players. The use of the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 in industrial valves is expected to boost the market in the coming years. These monitoring technologies minimize unfavorable incidents due to industrial valve failures and unplanned downtime.

Advancements in industrial procedure help experts monitor equipment health and condition from remote locations. Experts minimize the failure of industrial valves that lead to disruption of the plant process and unforeseen hazards with the help of advanced technologies. For instance,

• In June 2023, Aquana, a subsidiary of Geospace Technologies, announced the launch of the water Internet of Things (IoT) platform. This platform includes a remote shutoff ball valve called the Actuator Valve Serial (AVS) which has an IP68 rating. The AVS is manufactured in the U.S. and is expected to be used with any existing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) platform.
