Valve Actuator Market Analysis

Market players are engaged in innovating valve actuators. For example, in February 2021, Siemens announced its latest range of actuators for valves, which provide low-noise operation for automation use. The SSA range of actuators by Siemens was designed for small valve systems (such as central heating controls and water flow). The actuators include IP54 protection for more flexible installation. The actuators have an integrated LED display for status indication, and they utilize feedback signals to the controlling device to create a closed-loop design.

According to Bennett University's blog in May 2022, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) will use actuators to combine mechanical and electrical components in micrometer or millimeter-sized integrated devices or systems. These devices or systems can sense physical stimulus, control a process or system and actuate or drive micro or mega-scale devices. In addition, with the integration of IoT, many sensors and actuators are required for constant monitoring of these devices. Hence, there will be a large requirement for small, low-powered, wireless sensors and smart actuators in the upcoming years, which will drive the Valve Actuator Market during the forecast period.

Valve Actuator Market Overview

An actuator is a component of a device or system that converts energy (generally electrical, air, or hydraulic) into mechanical force. A valve actuator is a component that actuates or moves a valve open or closed. Valve actuators are used in various process plants for the automation of flow control processes. In process control applications, valves regulate fluid flow by opening, shutting, or partially obstructing the fluid flow while managing the pressure. Chemical, mining, oil & gas, power generation, wastewater, and LNG are among the major end users of valve actuators, wherein they are used to control and automate processes. The Valve Actuator Market growth is attributed to factors such as the automation of manufacturing processes, government investments in renewable energy, and flourishment of the oil & gas industry. In addition, the launch of water and wastewater plant construction projects would further drive the market in the coming years.

Valve Actuator Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growth of Oil & Gas Industry to Favor Market

• The oil & gas industry has played a significant role in this industrial revolution and the economic transformation of the world. The major factor driving the evolution of this industry is the growing demand for heat, mobility, and light worldwide, owing to the rapidly growing population.
• The oil & gas industry accounted for the largest share of global consumption of energy resources. Natural gas is estimated to be the fastest-growing fossil fuel used in the coming years. Globally, the new oil supplies are expected to add continually to cater to the increase in energy demand. Per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the worldwide oil demand will rise by 6% between 2022 and 2028 to reach 105.7 million barrels per day, with a significant requirement from the petrochemical and aviation divisions.

Increasing Focus on Renewable Energy Sector

• There is a rise in a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy to lower emission levels and address the climate crisis. In addition, the adoption of renewable energy results in the reduction of the overall cost needed for power generation. Government spending plays a pivotal role in the rapid progression of clean energy investment and the expansion of clean technology supply chains.
• According to the latest update of the International Energy Agency's (IEA's) Government Energy Spending Tracker, the amount of money allocated by governments to support investments in clean energy since 2020 has increased to US$ 1.34 trillion. Direct incentives for manufacturers aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing of clean energy technologies total ~US$ 90 billion. Such a rise in investment results in the launch of new renewable energy projects that demand valve actuators for an efficient working environment.
