How Has The Ball Valves Market Size Evolved Historically?
The ball valves market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a consistent increase in the market size of ball valves, growing from a worth of $13.67 billion in 2024 to an anticipated value of $14.17 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.7%. The heightened activities in oil and gas exploration and production, water, and wastewater treatments, the operation processes in petrochemical and chemical sectors, an increased emphasis on energy efficacy, infrastructure development and automation, along with control systems, explain the growth over the historic period.
What Is The Projected Growth Of The Ball Valves Market?
The Ball Valves market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a steady expansion is anticipated for the ball valves market, reaching a value of $17.01 billion by 2029 with a 4.7%.
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Factors driving growth during this period include emphasis on smart valves, an increase in renewable energy projects, concerns about water scarcity, rigorous environmental rules, robust supply chains, and the rise of new end-user sectors. The forecast period will be marked by key trends such as the growing integration of automation and control systems, the use of innovative materials, a heightened role in industrial process control, a need for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, a shift towards floating ball valve designs, and strategic partnerships and acquisitions.
What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Ball Valves Market?
The ball valve market is predicted to expand due to the fast pace of urbanization. The boost in infrastructure development and construction activities caused by urbanization has subsequently led to a surge in the need for ball valves. To illustrate, the World Bank reported that in 2022, around 4.4 billion people, making up 56% of the world's overall population, were based in urban areas. By 2050, this number is forecasted to include roughly 7 out of every 10 people, leading to a significant increase in the urban population more than its current rate. Therefore, the escalation in urbanization is currently powering the expansion of the ball valve market.

Which Emerging Market Trends Are Altering The Ball Valves Industry?
The ball valve market is increasingly adopting 3D printing technologies, an emerging trend which involves creating three-dimensional objects layer by layer using a computerised design. This technology allows for the customisation of valves to suit specific customer needs. This was evidenced in October 2023 when ThyssenKrupp Materials Services, ThyssenKrupp AG's materials distribution and supply chain division, and Norwegian shipping firm Wilh. Wilhelmsen Ships Service made significant investments in 3D printing technology as a solution. These advanced manufacturing methods enable the faster, more economical production of critical spare parts compared to traditional means. Italian Ball, Gate, and Check Valves Manufacturer Valland SpA created a ball valve which was 3D printed by ThyssenKrupp using recycled metal supplied by F3nice AS, an Italian firm specialising in metal powder for 3D printing that recycles decommissioned ship spare parts.
