The valve positioners market is expected to grow from USD 1.7 billion in 2019 to USD 2.2 billion by 2024; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during 20192024. Increasing demand for valve automation solutions to efficiently manage process industries and the rising demand for energy are key factors that are expected to augment the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The growth of digital positioners is attributed to the growing adoption of smart solutions in the plant operations. Digital valve positioners are based on microprocessors and convert the electric signals to pressure signals. These positioners possess internal logic based on microprocessors. They use a microprocessor for positioning the actuator and for keeping track of data; hence, they have excellent diagnostic capabilities.
The oil & gas industry has several simultaneous operations that need to be planned, scheduled, executed, and monitored on time. Hence, companies operating in the oil & gas industry are always looking for new ways to meet rising energy needs as well as to cut their operating costs and enhance the overall efficiency of the plant. This is due to the globally increasing consumption and demand for oil. Therefore, the installation of valve positioners in control valve assemblies support efficient plant operation of oil & gas industry.
Water is one of the largest required natural resources in APAC. Owing to the increase in the urban population in APAC, there is a high demand for new and improved wastewater treatment systems. Therefore, there is a growing recognition of water as a resource for various purposes in manufacturing and agriculture. This has generated an increasing need for proper utilization of water resource and growing demand for water and wastewater treatment techniques for water reuse. This can be achieved by using valve positioners in control valve assemblies.
The major players in valve positioners market include Emerson Electric (US), Siemens (Germany), Baker Hughes (US), ABB (Switzerland), Schneider (France), Flowserve (US), Metso (Finland), Azbil (Japan), and Rotork (UK). These players operate globally and provide valve positioners and related accessories.
