Global outlook of the valves market for power industry
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global valves market for power industry to grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of almost 4% by 2020. This industry research report identifies the increase in number of combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market in the coming years. Coal is the most commonly used fuel for power production. Though coal power plants are preferred over other power plants due to the cost factor, the increasing focus of governments and environmentalists in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, has resulted in the rise in number of natural gas-based power plants. The increased production of natural gas, the decrease in its prices, and stringent emission norms implemented in several developed countries, will compel the power sector to transition from fossil fuel power generation to CCGT technology that also has benefits such as less emission of CO2, NOx, and SO₂ when compared to coal-powered plants. Since gas turbines use valves in several applications including fuel control, false start drain, intel guide vane actuation, air purge control, and reverse flow prevention, the expected increase in the number of CCGT gas turbines in the coming years, will drive the growth of this market.
The increasing adoption of 3D printing in industrail valves market is one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market in the next four years. Pump and valve manufacturers will start combining 3D printing technology with digital advances in modeling software and this will greatly help in the repair, replacement, and designing of pumps and valves. The use of 3D printing techniques will also offer increased precision and allow end-users to prefer advanced methods while manufacturing valve components such as discs for butterfly valves or plug in globe valves.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market appears to be fragmented due to the presence of several well-diversified international, regional, and local valve manufacturers and is highly competitive. The rise in product extensions, innovations in technology, and M&A, will further intensify the level of competition in the market. International players will grow inorganically during the next four years by acquiring regional or local players. Acquiring regional vendors will not only help global players to expand their global presence but also assist them in expanding their product portfolio and in turn, enter new markets.
The leading vendors in the market are -
- Curtiss-Wright
- Cameron
- Emerson Electric
- Flowserve
- Weir Group
The other prominent vendors in the market are Alfa Laval, IMI Critical Engineering, KSB, Neway Valve (Suzhou), Valvitalia, Velan, Watts Water Technologies, L&T Valves, and GE.
Segmentation by product type and analysis of the valves market for power industry
Due to the constant demand from various application sectors such as natural gas, fossil fuel, renewables, and nuclear power generation, the globe valves segment dominated the market during 2015. Benefits such as excellent leak tightness, good closing and throttling, and easier body ring seating surface, will drive the demand for globe valves. Factors such as the increase in new gas and nuclear power capacities and the replacement of existing power plants, will also fuel the growth of this market segment.
Geographical segmentation and analysis of the valves market for power industry
According to this market study, the Americas will be the major revenue contributors to the market throughout the next four years. The current focus of the US in expanding its power infrastructure, the introduction of stringent emission laws, and the need for efficient power generation in countries such as the US and Canada, will bolster the market’s growth prospects in this region.
