EXPANDING PLUG VALVES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global expanding plug valves market size was valued at USD 0.16 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.2 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period. 

A plug valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve that controls flow by rotating a cylindrical or conical "plug" inside its body. The plug has one or more through holes that, when lined up with the port openings, allow fluid to flow. Flow is stopped when the plug is rotated so that the ports and holes are not lined up. The rising demand for plug valves from the power, chemical, water treatment, and petroleum and natural gas industries, as well as other industries, is what's driving the expansion of the global plug valves market.

COVID 19:  Lockdown Restrictions to Hamper Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with expanding plug valves experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Oil prices fell sharply as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was ruthless for the oil and gas sector. Due to different restrictions put in place by governments throughout the world, demand for oil and gas has decreased, which has resulted in a significant imbalance between supply and demand. In addition to oil and gas, other significant end users of valves include the water and wastewater treatment, energy, and power industries. The global epidemic also caused demand in all of these industries to decline. The lifting of the constraints has caused these industries to begin recovering gradually, which will speed up future expanding plug valves market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Adoption in Water Waste Treatment to Fuel Market Expansion

Applications for the treatment of waste and water are what essentially fuel the demand for plug valves. Waste water and water management have become increasingly important in the global context due to acute water scarcity in many regions of the world. Additionally, there have been many initiatives to address the issue of water scarcity and strict regulatory constraints, which has favored the growth of the global market for expanding plug valves. The expanding plug valves market has also grown dramatically as a result of rising demand for the natural gas and petroleum industries, for electricity, and for occupational safety. Additionally, operating safety, the plug valve's low energy consumption, and high quality are factors that are driving industry demand for the expanding plug valves market, high performance procedure, working process cost reductions, friction reduction, and simple maintenance.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Demand from Various Application to Foster Market Growth

The rising demand from end-use sectors such the petroleum and natural gas industry, chemical industry, water treatment industry, and power industry is the main driver propelling the growth of the global expanding plug valves market. The presence of numerous major manufacturers in various regions and the rising investment in infrastructure development projects are other factors influencing the growth of this market. Moreover, the installation of industrial valves is anticipated to increase as pipeline infrastructure investments in the oil and gas industry rise.

Increasing Demand from Chemical Industry to Accelerate Market Expansion

The demand for process automation in the chemical industry on the global market is being driven by the expansion of the chemical manufacturing sector to meet the dramatically rising demand for various types of chemicals and the urgent need to automate chemical production processes. Additionally, the government is implementing more water supply and sanitation programs in many developing nations, which will probably raise demand for industrial valves used in home and agricultural settings.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Rising Price of Metals to Hamper Market Growth

The oil and gas industry's declining growth, the need for actuators in NPS 4 and other larger valves, the requirement for more force, and the high cost of plug valves relative to ball valves, however, restrain the expansion of the plug valve market. The expansion of the valves market is being hampered by the lack of uniform rules throughout the regions.
