Control valve market seen reaching $14.35B by 2030

The Business Research Company projects the global control valve market will grow from $8.29 billion in 2025 to $14.35 billion by 2030, driven by industrial automation, tighter safety standards and demand from oil and gas, power, pharma and food processing. North America held the largest share in 2025 as vendors add AI diagnostics, IoT monitoring and energy-efficient valve technologies. Why it matters: - Control valves are core infrastructure for regulating pressure, flow and temperature in industrial systems. - The market’s projected growth points to broader spending on automation, safety and process efficiency across heavy industry. - Demand from oil and gas, power generation, pharmaceuticals and food processing could shape procurement and technology upgrades through 2030. What happened: - The Business Research Company said the control valve market will rise from $8.29 billion in 2025 to $9.27 billion in 2026. - The report projects the market will reach $14.35 billion by 2030. - The company forecasts a 11.8% CAGR from 2025 to 2026 and an 11.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. - The report was released June 16, 2026, from London. - The company published a free sample of the control valve market report . - The company also posted the full control valve market report . The details: - The report ties historic growth to expanding use in process industries, greater demand for automated flow management, wider deployment of pressure and temperature control systems and stricter safety compliance standards. - Future growth is linked to demand for more accurate flow control, energy-efficient valve technologies, actuator improvements and stronger demand from pharmaceutical and food processing sectors. - The report flags AI-based diagnostics, smart manufacturing controls, IoT-enabled flow regulation, sustainable valve materials and digital monitoring platforms as major trends. - Control valves are power-operated devices that regulate fluid flow. - Control valves are used to manage pressure, flow and temperature in industrial processes. - The oil and gas sector is a major driver because extraction, refining and distribution depend on reliable valve systems. - US crude oil production reached 12.4 million barrels per day in 2023, up from 11.7 million barrels per day in 2022, according to the US Energy Information Administration. - The power industry also supports demand because gas and electricity systems require efficient control in generation and distribution. - The US recorded average natural gas consumption of 86.6 billion cubic feet per day in September 2022, the highest annual level to date. - North America held the largest share of the global control valve market in 2025. - The report also covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Between the lines: - The forecast suggests buyers are shifting from basic mechanical valve demand toward smarter systems with diagnostics and remote monitoring. - Energy and process industries remain the clearest near-term demand engines, while pharmaceutical and food processing add a higher-precision growth lane. - Regional leadership by North America signals the market is still being shaped by mature industrial infrastructure as well as modernization cycles. What’s next: - The Business Research Company expects adoption to keep rising as manufacturers move toward connected, data-driven process control. - Vendors are likely to compete more on digital features, efficiency and materials performance as industrial operators seek lower operating costs and better compliance. - The company said its 2026 market reports include market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics and updated trend analysis.
