In the intricate ecosystem of a power plant, the mastery of fluids is vital for plant operators. Through sophisticated data communication architecture and meticulous instrument configuration, they orchestrate automated data analytics processing to fine-tune steam and water flows, optimizing performance. Advancements in material technology and innovative manufacturing techniques continuously improve equipment durability and efficiency, ensuring uninterrupted energy production. This synergy between human expertise and technological innovation underscores the evolution of modern power plants toward greater reliability and sustainability.
The valves market in the mining industry is expected to benefit heavily from the rising adoption of electric vehicles. Cobalt, a ferromagnetic metal, is a major raw material used for the manufacturing of batteries, which find application in electric vehicles. The ability of electric vehicles to either reduce or eliminate the use of gasoline or diesel is a primary factor directly contributing to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles. Despite the high costs associated with electric vehicles, factors such as the provision of direct subsidies for electric vehicles contribute to the population shift toward these vehicles from internal combustion engine-powered vehicles.
Moreover, the growing demand for cobalt for electric vehicle batteries is driving cobalt mining activities globally, which is increasing the demand for valve products in the mining industry, leading to the growth of the valves market in mining industry during the forecast period
The mining industry requires application-specific valves as it deals with different kinds of mineral mining. The environmental conditions of these minerals vary drastically, and thus, the same valves cannot be deployed in the mining of all the minerals. Simulation software is such a technology that allows manufacturers to design a prototype in the least time and with maximum precision. It lowers the cost of fabrication and reduces the product engineering time for non-standard valve manufacturing. The simulation method also helps to improve valve design functionalities, minimize physical testing, and reduce associated costs.
For instance, 3D simulation in valve manufacturing helps in offering precise and accurate information related to design parameters, thermal behavior, and material structure. It also saves cost, time, and the need for prototype testing. Thus, simulation software will find extended application in the manufacturing of valves for deep-sea mining, which will impel the growth of the valves market in mining industry during the forecast period.
Mining activities often take place in environments with extreme temperatures, ranging from extremely cold conditions in Arctic regions to high temperatures in desert environments. Valves must be designed to operate reliably across a wide temperature range. The presence of abrasive materials, such as rocks, minerals, and slurry, is common in mining operations. Valves used in these environments need to be resistant to abrasion to maintain performance and prevent premature wear. Exposure to corrosive substances, including acidic or alkaline solutions, can occur in certain mining processes.
Moreover, heavy machinery and equipment in mining can cause vibrations and mechanical shocks. Valves must be robust enough to withstand these dynamic forces without experiencing damage or operational failure. Water and moisture exposure is common in mining, particularly in underground operations. Valves need to be resistant to water ingress and designed to prevent corrosion in wet conditions. Thus, the harsh operating conditions of mining will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the multi-turn valves segment will be significant during the forecast period. Multi-turn valves are linear motion valves that are used in the mining industry to control fluid and material flows. These valves have several turns to feature linear displacement movement. Such valves are primarily deployed in multi-turn valves in industries, including gate valves and globe valves.

The multi-turn valves segment was the largest and was valued at USD 2.48 billion in 2018. Gate valves display linear motion and are deployed to handle abrasion and slurry in mining processing. Gate valves typically contain a plate (circular or rectangular) that acts as a flow-regulating gateway. Gate valves are used where minimum flow restrictions are needed. A conventional type of globe valve is preferred for isolation and throttling services. Even though these valves display slightly higher pressure drops when compared with other valves, such as gate and ball valves, they are still used in mining applications where the pressure drop across the valve is not much of a controlling factor. Thus, these uses will boost the growth of the multi-turn valves segment and strengthen the growth of the global valves market in mining industry during the forecast period.
Based on the application, the market has been segmented into mineral fuels, iron and ferro-alloys, non-ferrous metals, precious metals, and industrial minerals. The mineral fuels?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?Mineral fuels such as coking coal, steam coal, lignite coal, uranium, and petroleum accounted for the largest share by application under the valves in mining market. The fuels are used by various industries such as steel, power, pharmaceutical, chemical, and others after being refined. Further, the increasing demand for petrochemical products and the growing fertilizer industry has increased the demand for mineral fuel mining. Furthermore, upcoming new nuclear power plants in India and European countries are expected to increase the demand for uranium during the forecast period. Such developments are expected to propel the growth of the mineral fuels segment and the valves market in mining industry during the forecast period.
