Global Control Valves (Regulating Valves) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Control Valves (Regulating Valves) market size was valued at US$ 7433 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 10500 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.

A control valve, also known as a regulating valve, is a final control element in industrial automation process control systems. It is used to regulate and control process parameters such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, and liquid level by receiving control signals from a regulating control unit and adjusting the flow of media through an actuator. The actuator operates the valve based on the control signals to adjust the process parameters.

The global control valve market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the increasing demand for automation and process control technologies. Key industries such as chemicals, power, oil and gas, metallurgy, and HVAC are witnessing significant demand for control valves.

Pneumatic control valves lead the market, accounting for 51% of the total share. Their reliability, fast response, and low maintenance cost make them the preferred choice in many industries. Electric and hydraulic control valves also play a role in industries requiring higher precision and control.

The chemical industry is a major application market for control valves, accounting for 31% of the global market. Control valves are essential in this industry due to the need for precise control of flow, pressure, and temperature. Other industries such as oil and gas, metallurgy, and power also present strong demand for control valves to ensure safety, reliability, and efficient production.

Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer market, accounting for 46% of the global market revenue. The rapid industrialization in countries like China and India is fueling demand for control valves, especially in the chemical, oil and gas, and power sectors.

Market Drivers

The growth of the control valve market is driven by several factors. Advancements in automation and process control technology are key drivers. As automation levels rise, especially in industries like petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, and power, the demand for control valves is growing. Control valves are critical components in ensuring accurate regulation of process variables in automated systems.

The acceleration of globalization and industrialization is boosting the demand for control valves. Emerging economies, especially in Asia-Pacific, are undergoing rapid industrialization, leading to higher demand for control valves in industries such as chemicals, oil and gas, and power generation.

Continuous improvements in valve and actuator technologies are contributing to market expansion. With enhanced performance in terms of reliability, response time, and precision, control valves are meeting the needs of more complex industrial processes. Pneumatic control valves, in particular, have become the preferred choice due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Market Restraints

Despite strong market potential, there are challenges in the control valve industry. Fluctuations in raw material prices can impact production costs. Control valves require high-quality materials for critical components like valve bodies and actuators, and price volatility in raw materials can directly affect production costs.

Competition is becoming increasingly fierce as more manufacturers enter the market. Both established and local manufacturers are offering competitive prices and services, which could squeeze profit margins. Companies need to continuously innovate and improve their offerings to remain competitive.

Moreover, stricter global environmental regulations are putting pressure on manufacturers to meet higher environmental standards, particularly in industries like petrochemicals and power generation. Meeting these requirements will increase R&D and production costs.

Conclusion

Control valves are vital components in industrial automation processes, and their demand is increasing globally. As automation and industrialization continue to expand, particularly in Asia-Pacific, the control valve market is set for sustained growth.

However, challenges such as intense competition, raw material cost fluctuations, and regulatory pressures will shape the market’s development. Manufacturers need to enhance product performance, optimize production processes, and address environmental concerns to maintain competitiveness in the market.

The control valve industry will continue to evolve, with innovation and market positioning playing key roles in its long-term growth as a fundamental part of global industrial automation.
