Valves market research analysis details
industry leaders in valves manufacturing
Valves are some of the most widely used equipment in hydrocarbon
processing facilities. They are imperative to control the
flow of natural gas and liquids through processing complexes.
According to several industry reports, the global industrial valve
market is forecast to eclipse $79 B by 2025 and could increase to
more than $90 B by 2030.
Depending on the application, valves come in all shapes and
sizes. These include multi-turn, linear motion, quarter-turn,
rotary, self-actuated, control and specialty valves. Each type of
valve has its own function to ensure intended operations for
flow control, and companies around the world are investing in
research and development to optimize the usage of valves in industrial
applications.
Within the hydrocarbon processing industry, there are countless
numbers of valve manufacturers. Which are the most recognizable?
Which companies have the best reputation in the industry?
What do valve end users/purchasers look for when selecting
a valve(s) for their facility's operations? These questions are addressed
in Hydrocarbon Processing's Valves Market Research Survey
report, available at store.gulfenergyinfo.com.
Valves market survey. Earlier this year, Hydrocarbon Processing
conducted a global survey on the valves market and valve manufacturers.
The survey specifically targeted Hydrocarbon Processing
readers that work within the valves manufacturing, operations,
procurement, purchasing, maintenance and/or research and development
segments. The survey respondents included personnel
from the refining, petrochemicals, gas processing/LNG and pipelines
industries. Nearly 70% of respondents either initiate, recommend,
specify, approve or purchase valves for their company.
According to the report, most valve procurers value quality
and reliability when selecting a valve supplier. These were followed
by customer service and innovative technology (FIG. 1).
Prior to selecting a valve, purchasers will conduct research on a
particular valve's operation and usefulness. According to survey
respondents, most valve purchasers will go to the supplier's webAMPO

site for additional information on a specific valve. This includes
reviewing case studies, whitepapers and any type of catalog/brochure
on the valve's operation, technology and specifications.
The Valves Market Research Survey report also provides
a detailed analysis on how valve manufacturers are regarded
within the industry. These attributes include rankings on characteristics
valued within the industry, including service/technical
support, product quality, price, industry/application experience,
delivery/lead time, implementation and reputation, among others.
The report details these rankings on nearly 40 valve manufacturers
around the world.
Globally, survey respondents indicated the following three
companies that come to mind first when looking into purchasing
valves: Emerson, Flowserve and Crane. These companies were
followed by Cameron, Velan and several others.
