The control valve market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The scale of the control valve market has significantly expanded over recent times. It is projected to escalate from $7.5 billion in 2024 to $8.42 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The remarkable growth during the historical period is often associated with factors such as industrial growth, regulatory adherence, changes in the energy sector, development of infrastructure, safety and environmental considerations, global integration, and the modernization of outdated infrastructure.
The Control Valve market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of control valves is poised for a significant surge in the forthcoming years, reaching $13.37 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 12.2%.
The expansion within the forecast period is driven by the emphasis on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, increased need for high-performance valves, an emphasis on preventive maintenance, growth in developing markets, and market consolidation. Among the leading trends anticipated in the forecast period are technology advancements in smart valves, integration of Industry 4.0 and IIOT, digitalization coupled with remote monitoring, modular valve designs, and advancements in materials and coatings.
The control valve market is expected to expand, driven by the growth in the oil & gas and power sectors. The term oil & gas industry covers firms involved in the discovery, transportation, and refining of these resources into finished products. The power industry, on the other hand, consists of companies that supply gas and electricity for both domestic and commercial purposes. The buoyant oil & gas and power sectors necessitate the use of control valves for processing and distribution. To exemplify, the US Energy Information Administration reported in October 2023 that U.S. crude oil production increased to 12.4 million b/d in 2023, up from a record high of 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Additionally, the US consumed a daily average of 86.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas (Bcf/d) in 2022, marking the highest annual natural gas consumption in the US compared to preceding years. Hence, the thriving oil & gas and power sectors are propelling the progress of the control valves market.

Leading firms in the control valve market are innovating with features like butterfly valve ranges, enabling better flow regulation within control valve applications. Butterfly valves, which are a quarter-turn valve variety employing a spinning disk for fluid flow management within a tube or pipe, are on the rise. For example, Valmet, a Finnish company specializing in process technologies, introduced the Neles Q-Disc in July 2022. This high-performance adjunct is built to improve flow regulation in control valve applications. Part of Valmet's diverse butterfly valve product line, Q-Disc is tailored to address challenges in intricate process environments. It offers significant advantages, including the prevention of oversized actuators and a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution. The Q-Disc effectively manages issues such as cavitation and offers substantial noise reduction, even up to 12 dB under certain flow conditions. A modular alternative is also offered for different butterfly valves, substantially enhancing reliability and operational efficiency.
