Dispensing valves are the systems that provide precise fluid dispensing. The fluids are dispensed from low viscosity to high viscosity. They are also dispensed from low volatility to high volatility. This is done with precision and ease. The sizes of the shots and strokes can be adjusted based on applications, which provides dynamic speed. Dispensing valves can be made of plastic or metal based on the type of fluid and the application for which it is used.

The needle dispensing valve release the fluids when an activator acts on a piston. They shift the needle into an open position. Spray valves spray media just on the target area. The output produced from the dispensing valves can be a bead, dot, flat spray, round spray, or fill. This depends on the valve design and is also dependent on the properties of the fluid.

COVID 19 IMPACT

Increase in Remote Working to Foster Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to a new work environment, with more and more people working from home. Offices and educational institutions took to the digital life. Students attended their classes online and people took to new digital hobbies. With more and more students and educational institutes taking up remote learning, education technology platforms flourished during the pandemic, giving people the incentive to buy personal computers, which are better for using for a longer period of time. This gave a rise to the electronics market and subsequently the dispensing valves market. People who were earlier dependent on handheld devices such as mobiles and tablets have started buying computers for work, learning, gaming, and entertainment. COVID-19 has boosted the market for dispensing valves.

LATEST TRENDS

Use in Electronics Industry to Increase Demand

The electronics industry is growing very rapidly. There are new technological improvements in such electronics every few weeks. The devices are getting smaller and smaller. People prefer small and handier devices for their daily needs. The electrical components in these devices are becoming more intricate with every advancement. With this, it had become a need to ensure that all the measurements for electrical signals are precise. If the measurements are not precise, the device will not be able to handle the rigorous and complex processes and standards. As the demand for these technologically advanced devices increases, the dispensing valves market growth will also increase.

• According to IPC – Association Connecting Electronics Industries, over 83% of electronics manufacturing facilities in Asia Pacific integrated automated dispensing systems in 2023, reflecting the growing demand for micro-precision fluid dispensing.

• Based on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA), the electronics segment in the U.S. saw a 19% rise in industrial assembly line upgrades involving fluid control systems between 2022 and 2024.
