Global Steam Valves Market Overview:
Extensive use of steam valves for various applications such as in oil & gas and power industries are driving the Global Steam Valves market. Steam Valves are used in steam system to adjust or switch steam flow, filter impurity in steam, prevent steam backflow, etc. Steam valves include different valves like steam trap valves, steam plunger valves, steam reducing valves, safety valves, etc. The valve contains actuators which are automated mechanical devices capable of adjusting the position of various types of valves. The commonly used steam valves are ball valves, butterfly valves, globe valves gate or knife valves, diaphragm valves. All these types of steam valves control steam flow, special service conditions exist with steam regarding temperature and pressure. Some of the players profiled in the study are Emerson IN (United States), Pentair plc (United States), The Flowserve Corporation (United States), Spirax Sarco Ltd. (United Kingdom), Armstrong International Inc. (United States), Crane Company (United States), KSB Group (Germany), Kitz Corporation (Japan), Velan, Inc. (Canada), Metso Corporation (Finland), Circor International, Inc. (United States), Cameron Schlumberger Ltd. (United States), TLV Co., Ltd. (Japan), Yoshitake Inc. (Japan) and Zhejiang Lonze Valve Co.Ltd. (China).
On the basis of geography, the market of Steam Valves has been segmented into South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). North America region held largest market share in the year 2020. Europe on the other hand stood as second largest market due to the presence of key companies into the region and high technological advancement. If we see Market by Distribution channel, the sub-segment i.e. Online Sale will boost the Steam Valves market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth.
Market Growth Drivers
- The increasing use of steam valves by national zoos and parks worldwide
- Growing number of oil & gas exploration in Middle East Countries, China, North America
- High investment from the Government in pipeline infrastructure development primarily in the Oil & Gas sector.
Influencing Trend
- Introduction of the Internet of things (IoT) in enabled valve and solutions by big market players like Emerson Company and Metso Corporation.
Restraints
- Strict Government regulations and the huge initial investment on installation of steam valves may obstruct the growth of the market.
Opportunities
- Need for valve replacement on a yearly basis
- Exploration in Oil & Gas industry is providing an opportunity for the market players.
Challenges
- The challenge faced by the market is frequent boiler shutdowns from low-water level, damaged steam pipes and valves due to water hammer, vibration, corrosion, erosion, reduced capacity of steam heaters, and overloaded steam traps.
In September 2018, Spirax Sarco Ltd. Company launched wireless steam trap monitoring system to maximize safety, efficiency and productivity. Wireless steam trap monitoring systems, such as Spirax Total Acoustic Performance Solutions (STAPS), complement an existing steam trap programme by providing real-time data on trap performance and condition, a sure-fire way to lower costs, boost productivity and use the resource more strategically.
The market appears to be fragmented with manufacturers ranging from large multinational corporations to small privately owned companies compete in this industry. The companies are collaborating with each other to improve the productivity and performance of steam valves. For instance, In 2017, Emerson announced that it has completed the purchase of the Valves & Controls business from Pentair plc. This acquisition enables the companies to continue to grow their global footprint in the field of power, oil & gas etc. and expand the leadership position in key served markets such as Global Steam Valves.
