to learn more about this report
The global proportional valve market size was USD 1108.8 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 1563.27 million by 2032 at CAGR 3.5% during the forecast period.
In fluid power systems, proportional valves are employed as devices to control a fluid's flow rate or pressure proportionately. They are often used in many industrial applications that need for exact control. Proportional valves come in a variety of forms, but two main categories may be used to describe them: pilot-operated and direct-acting.
COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Effectuated Decreased Industrial Production and Shift in Demands Hampered the Market Growth
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Lockdowns and safety precautions forced many manufacturing sites throughout the world to temporarily shut or scale back output. As a result, the market for industrial machinery—including proportional valves—was less active. During the pandemic, several industries saw a rise in demand for automation and control systems, particularly those in the manufacture of necessities, medicines, and healthcare. This change in demand has an impact on the market for proportional valves.
LATEST TRENDS
"Demand for Energy Efficiency and Advancements in Manufacturing to Enlarge the Market Share"
Sustainable development and energy efficiency were becoming increasingly important to industries. There was a growing trend in the use of proportional valves in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to maximize energy usage. Because they offer proportionate control over fluid flow or pressure, proportional valves facilitate the effective use of energy. This efficiency can result in financial savings and a less environmental effect in situations where energy conservation is a top focus. Prolonged R&D endeavors were concentrated on employing cutting-edge materials and production processes to improve proportional valve performance, robustness, and efficiency.
PROPORTIONAL VALVE MARKET MARKET SEGMENTATION
- to learn more about this report
- By Type
Based on type the global market can be categorized into direct-acting type, pilot-operated type and others.
Direct-Acting Proportional Valves: When the input signal (current or voltage) changes, the spool or poppet of a direct-acting proportional valve reacts immediately.
Pilot-operated proportional valves: A tiny pilot valve regulates the larger main spool or poppet in a pilot-operated valve. Generally, an electrical signal is used to operate the pilot valve.
Others: Reducing Pressure In systems where maintaining a certain pressure is crucial, valves are employed because they provide accurate downstream pressure control by sustaining a steady pressure drop across the valve. Control of Proportionate Flow When precise control of flow rates is needed, valves, which adjust the flow rate of fluid passing through them in accordance to the input signal, are frequently utilized.
- By Application
Based on application the global market can be categorized into industrial equipment, instrument and meter, medical equipment and others.
Industrial Equipment: To regulate the direction and speed of hydraulic actuators, proportional valves are frequently employed in hydraulic systems. This is essential for heavy machinery, injection molding machines, and industrial presses, among other applications. Proportional valves control the airflow in industrial pneumatic systems, which in turn controls the position and speed of pneumatic cylinders.
Instrumentation and Metering: To accurately control the flow rate of liquids or gases, proportional valves are used in flow control devices. used in devices like pressure controllers and regulators that need precise pressure control.
Medical Equipment: By controlling the gas flow in anesthesia equipment, proportional valves help to precisely provide anesthetic medications to patients. Proportional valves in medical infusion systems precisely regulate the flow of drugs or fluids to patients. In a variety of diagnostic devices where accurate fluid management is crucial, proportional valves are utilized.
Others: To improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, engine management systems use proportional valves to regulate air intake and fuel injection. Proportional valves in automated gearboxes control hydraulic pressure to provide seamless gear changes. In aviation hydraulic systems, proportional valves are utilized to precisely regulate the movement of the flight control surfaces. Landing gear extension and retractions are managed by hydraulic systems using proportional valves.
DRIVING FACTORS
"Precision Control and Adaptability to Shoot Up the Market Growth"
The flow rate or pressure of fluids may be accurately controlled with proportional valves. This accuracy is essential in applications like industrial processes, automation, and robotics where precise and dynamic control is needed. Proportional valves are flexible and may be used in a wide range of industrial applications. They fit a variety of industrial processes and machinery as they may be employed in pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
"Global Industrialization and Automation to Multiply the Market Share"
Proportional valve demand is predicted to increase as global industrialization and automation continue to grow. Advanced industrial technologies are being more widely adopted, especially in emerging economies. Proportional valve demand was rising as automation and robots proliferated across several sectors. These valves are essential for managing the movement and orientation of robotic systems.
RESTRAINING FACTOR
"Cost of the Valve and Operating Complexity to Dismantle the Market Growth"
In comparison to conventional on/off valves, proportional valves can be somewhat more expensive, especially those with sophisticated features and capabilities. The choice to employ proportional valves may be influenced by this economic consideration, especially in situations where exact control is not essential. Compared to basic on/off valves, proportional valves are more intricate. They are designed with complex parts, electrical controllers, and occasionally feedback systems. They may be more difficult to install, manage, and debug due to their complexity. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder the proportional valve market growth during the forecast period.
