LOW LIFT SAFETY VALVE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global low lift safety valve market size is forecasted to reach USD 0.29 billion by 2034 from USD 0.17 billion in 2025, growing at a steady CAGR of 6% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034.

Pressure relief valves, commonly referred to as relief valves, are safety valves used to control or regulate system pressure. Without it, the pressure may increase and disrupt a process or spark off a fire or damage equipment or instruments. The pressure is reduced by enabling the pressurised fluid to exit the system via an additional path. In order to prevent pressure vessels and other equipment from going above its design tolerances, the relief valve is programmed or designed to open at a specific set pressure.

Pressure relief valves shield other equipment, such as pressure vessels, from pressures that are too high for them. The valve is used to regulate or control internal pressure that may otherwise result in equipment failure, instrument failure, or fire. By enabling the pressurised fluid to exit the system through an auxiliary route, the pressure is reduced. When the predetermined safety valve pressure and temperature are exceeded, safety valves are preventative valves that immediately function. These safety valves can be used to prevent harm to the important equipment by managing excess pressure without any electrical assistance. These mostly function at a specified pressure to safeguard equipment from dangerous pressure. These valves also safeguard the surrounding environment and the workers near the plants. Safety valves are utilized in many different applications, including the construction, oil & gas, and pharmaceutical sectors, which promotes market expansion.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Pandemic Hindered the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Hence Impedes Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has stopped the manufacture of pressure relief valves for end users, mostly as a result of the extended government-imposed lockdowns in several countries that also required organizations to cease operations in order to combat the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, the demand for power generation decreased, and the interruption to the supply chain brought on by the trade and transit restrictions further limited the expansion of the market for pressure relief valves. These elements have had a big impact on how the pressure relief valve has developed over the epidemic. The demand for pressure relief valves has decreased as a result of supply chain interruptions and the closure of industrial and manufacturing plants. Additionally, the market has been impacted by the drop in oil and gas prices. However, the need for pressure relief valves is anticipated to rise as economies begin to recover and factories begin to reopen.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Demand for Oil and Gas May Result Market Expansion

In 2021, the globe produced 95.57 million barrels of oil per day; it is predicted that this number would rise to 99.89 million barrels per day in 2022. The total daily demand for crude oil rose to 91 million barrels in 2020. The demand was at its lowest point since 2012, but it swiftly rose when the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns started to be lifted in 2021 and early 2022. The equivalent of 4.7 billion barrels of oil's worth of crude oil and natural gas were found in 2021. 17.178 million barrels of oil are used daily in the US. As a result, China, which uses 14.225 million barrels of oil daily, and India, which consumes 4.669 million barrels daily, follow the United States as the top oil-consuming nations.

• According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), over 500,000 pressure vessel units are inspected annually in the U.S., driving demand for safety valves including low lift types.

• As per the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), more than 70% of newly installed industrial boilers in Europe in 2023 were equipped with certified safety valves, reflecting stricter compliance adoption.

DRIVING FACTORS

Expanding Demand in The Food and Beverage Sector Will Lead to Market Expansion

The popularity of neatly packaged food products has grown as a result of the fast expansion in urbanization. On the other hand, the demand for premium packaged food has expanded as the middle class has grown. As pressure relief valves are used more often in the food and beverage sector, it is anticipated that their use will rise. To maintain a clean environment for food processing, these applications span from sanitary liquid procedures to dry bulk storage. Therefore, the growing food and beverage sector will spur the pressure relief valves market's expansion throughout the anticipated timeframe.

Rising Water and Electricity Demand and Process Industries Will Lead to Market Expansion

The primary drivers driving this market are the rising demand for safety valves in the oil and gas industry, the increase in nuclear energy production, and the expanding significance of safety valves in industrial processes. The constant requirement for safety valve replacement and the integration of 3D printers into production processes are driving the market's expansion. Investments in manufacturing facilities are crucial to the safety valve industry.

Rising water and electricity demand, pollution control laws, and the explosive expansion of process industries are just a few of the many variables that are expected to fuel the safety valve market throughout the assessment period. The market is expanding as nuclear power plant building increases. The expansion of the worldwide market is being driven by the rise in unintentional occurrences and the growing need for safety valves in several industrial sectors.

• According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global industrial steam generation accounted for nearly 20% of total energy use in 2022, necessitating safety valves to prevent overpressure incidents.

• As per the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), over 100 countries follow ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code standards, mandating the use of safety valves in thermal power and petrochemical plants.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Leaky Valve Issue May Hamper the Market Expansion

Although valve leakage is a common issue, it may be quite problematic in industrial facilities. While some valve leaking is normal, particularly when they reach the nameplate set pressure, other valve leakage is viewed as a concern. It can be dangerous for the building. If the pressure relief valves aren't completely closed, leakage will occur. Typically, industrial workplaces with unclean or dusty conditions are to blame for this. Any trash that gets lodged in the valve might prevent it from shutting all the way and cause leaks. These elements so limit the market's ability to flourish.

• According to the European Commission, safety valve certification and testing costs can increase total equipment expenditure by 15–18%, which can restrict adoption by small manufacturers.

• As per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the shortage of skilled valve technicians grew by 5% in 2023, slowing down large-scale maintenance and installation.
