ROTARY VALVES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global rotary valves market size was USD 0.35 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.55 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Rotary valves are small devices that are commonly used in bulk handling systems to control the expulsion of powders and granular solids between two parts of a system, normally under gravity, and usually when there is a gas pressure differential between the two parts. Rotary valves are most often used in air conveyor systems to reduce pressure loss across the valve, but they can also be used to meter materials at a regulated flow rate. They almost entirely serve as airlocks, explosion or flame barriers, and process isolators in air systems, among other things. They can transport dry to slightly sticky goods and have a wide range of applications in the chemical and food industries, as well as pharmaceutical, plastic, and other manufacturing industries.

Bulk handling of particulate solids by automated control equipment is thought to have begun in the early twentieth century, initially with cereals and other basic, easy-to-handle bulk foodstuffs.

Initially, development progress was slow due to a lack of understanding or experience with managing other products or system demands.

Rotary valves are thought to have evolved as an obvious and simple solution for the controlled powered discharge of storage vessels.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt On Machinery & Equipment To Hamper Market

COVID-19 affected almost all the industries and markets globally, which slowed down economic growth and altered consumer purchasing patterns. National and international travel was hampered as a result of lockdowns applied in several nations, which greatly disrupted the supply chain of numerous sectors around the world, consequently increasing the supply-demand gap. As a result, the limited availability of raw material supply hampered the production rate of materials, which negatively impacted the market growth. Even though the global rotary valves market had been affected due to the pandemic, increased demand is anticipated after the pandemic as industrial operations resume.

LATEST TRENDS

Application in Various Verticals to Drive the Market Growth

Rotary Valve is also used in the production of food starch. Rotary valve technology is essential in the food industry, particularly when processing lightweight, free-flowing material in the form of a fine powder or grain. Food starch, a carbohydrate derived from grains such as corn, wheat, tapioca, rice, and potatoes, is a prime example of this. Food starch is frequently used by food and beverages manufacturers to improve texture, act as a binding agent, improve stability during processing, and extend the shelf life of a product, among other things. For the conveyance or transportation of food starch during manufacturing, plant managers should choose a dependable rotary valve, thus broadening the market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rise in Energy Demand to Drive the Market Growth

The rise in energy demand is one of the major factors driving the rotary valves market growth. It is one of the most important products used to provide electricity, power, and heat in a variety of industries, including the chemical and oil and gas industries. Power (electricity) can be generated by using fossil fuels such as coal in internal combustion steam technologies. Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, is carried from baghouse filters and ESP systems to bulk material storage systems such as silos. Fly ash can be discharged from storage silos using rotary valves.

Ability to Handle Wide Range of Dry Bulk Materials to Drive Market Growth

Rotary valves are used to transport a variety of dry bulk materials. Rotary feeders can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or hardox steel, based on the properties of the dry bulk materials being processed. Sugar, spices, salt, rice, wheat, corn (maize), cornstarch, coffee beans, bran, milk powder, broad beans, wheat flour, coffee powder, plastic pellets, cornstarch, cement, rubber powder, sand, fly ash, copper oxide, alumina, limestone, calcium carbonate, sodium sulphate, and other bulk materials can be handled using a rotary valve.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Usage Difficulty to Hamper the Market Growth

Most dust collectors are powered by motor-driven rotary valves that empty the contents of the hoppers. Rotary valves are among the most common type of airlock. However, rotary valve maintenance is time consuming and difficult, which is a major restraining factor of the same. In addition, regardless of whether dust is present, these valves run continuously, resulting in wasted electricity. Furthermore, the valves can experience wear & tear quickly, leading expensive repairs and replacements.
