World Industrial Valves

Industry Study with Forecasts for 2011 & 2016

China is rapidly becoming a key player in the global valve industry, with valve production of
$5.6 billion in 2006, making it the fourth largest valve manufacturer in the world.

Global demand to grow

4.4% yearly through 2011
Global demand for industrial valves is
forecast to increase 4.4 percent annually
through 2011 to $77.6 billion. Gains will
be driven by a healthy outlook for the
global economy, leading to increased
fixed investment activity in key valve
markets such as the US, China and
Germany. Valve demand in the energy
production sector will also benefit from a
pickup in primary energy consumption in
mature markets like North America, as
well as in developing valve markets such
as Latin America.

Developing Asian markets

to see fastest gains
The largest and most advanced industrial valve industries are located in
developed nations, particularly those
which have large domestic markets,
technical expertise in making highervalue products, and access to capital,
labor and other production factors. This
is made apparent by the fact that the US,
Germany, Italy and Japan together
accounted for about half of global valve
shipments in 2006 in dollar terms. China,
however, is rapidly becoming a key
player in the valve industry, with valve
production of $5.6 billion in 2006, making
it the fourth largest manufacturer.
France, the United Kingdom, Russia and
Taiwan are also sizable valve producers,
each with at least $1.6 billion in annual
shipments. The largest net exporters of
valves are Germany, Italy and Japan.

Asia/Pacific
34%

World Industrial Valve Demand

($77.6 billion, 2011)

Western Europe
27%

North America
25%

Other Regions
14%

The advanced nations of North America,

Western Europe and the Asia/Pacific
region (i.e., Australia, Japan, New
Zealand and Singapore) comprise
mature markets for valves. Growth in
valve demand in the US, Japan and
Western Europe will trail the world
average through 2011. Growth will be
much stronger in rapidly developing
nations such as China, Indonesia,
Thailand, Malaysia and India. Advances
in valve demand in these areas will be
driven by healthy economic and fixed
investment growth, while an expanding
market for more expensive automated
valves and actuators will support overall
valve gains in the US, Japan and
Western Europe.

Automatic valves to
outpace conventional types
The global market for automatic valves
will outpace that for conventional valves,
due to the ongoing efforts of process
manufacturers to improve operational
efficiencies. The strongest gains will be
registered in sales of separately sold
automatic actuators, which are used
together with standard valves to allow for
automated valve functions, and are less
expensive than automatic control and
regulator valves with actuators preinstalled. Nevertheless, conventional
valves will continue to account for 54
percent of total valve demand in 2011,
due to their low cost relative to other
highly-engineered automatic valves.
