Based on technology, the market is segmented into electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, and manual. The pneumatic segment is expected to register a CAGR of over 9% through 2032.

• Pneumatic control systems are typically simpler to install and maintain compared to electric or hydraulic systems. They require less complex infrastructure, fewer components, and are easier to troubleshoot, reducing downtime and overall operational costs.

   

• Pneumatic control valves are often more affordable compared to their electric or hydraulic counterparts, making them attractive options for many industries, especially in applications where cost is a significant consideration.

Based on component, the market is segmented into actuator, valve body, positioners, and others. The actuator segment is expected to reach over USD 6.5 billion by 2032.

• Electric actuators are preferred for control valves due to lower operating costs, reduced maintenance needs, and environmental friendliness. Unlike pneumatic and hydraulic actuators, they eliminate the need for compressed air or hydraulic fluid, resulting in lower energy consumption, fewer leakages, and minimal environmental impacts, driving their growth.

   

• Actuators facilitate remote and automated valve operation as industries embrace automation, thereby streamlining processes and improving efficiency. Actuators convert control signals into mechanical movement, enabling precise valve positioning without human intervention. This automation reduces labor costs, enhances safety by minimizing manual handling, and allows for real-time adjustments to optimize production processes, thereby meeting the evolving demands of modern industries.

North America region dominated over 35% share of the control valve market in 2023. The region has a robust industrial sector, including oil & gas, chemicals, and manufacturing, which are major consumers of control valves. Additionally, stringent regulatory standards regarding environmental protection and safety are driving the demand for advanced control valve technologies. Moreover, ongoing investments in infrastructure projects, particularly in sectors such as water treatment and power generation, are fueling the demand for control valves. These factors collectively contribute to North America's dominance in the global control valves market.
