Metal Valve Market Report 2026

The metal valve market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $288.94 billion in 2025 to $299.31 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of oil and gas industry, expansion of chemical and petrochemical plants, increasing maritime and marine applications, rise in construction and infrastructure projects, adoption of metal valves in mining operations.

The metal valve market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $356.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in renewable energy projects, growth in process automation and smart factories, rising demand in water treatment and utilities, expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical industries, adoption of advanced high-performance valve materials. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for industrial metal valves, increasing adoption of automated valve control systems, growth in high-pressure and specialty valve applications, expansion of metal valve usage in oil and gas sector, focus on durable and corrosion-resistant valve materials.

The expansion of the chemical industry is expected to support the growth of the metal valves market in the coming years. Metal valves - including butterfly, ball, gate, check, globe, plug, and actuated valves - play a critical role in chemical processing operations, which contributes to increasing demand for these products. For example, according to a report from the American Chemistry Council, chemical production in the United States remains strong, with all segments of the industry experiencing growth. The council projects that chemical output will rise by 2.4% in 2023, while capital spending is expected to increase by 5.5% in the same year. Therefore, growth in the chemical industry is anticipated to drive expansion in the metal valves market.

Companies in the metal valves sector are developing innovative products such as 3D-printed valves to maintain competitiveness and enhance their market presence. These valves, produced using 3D printing technology, are fully functional components capable of controlling air or water flow. For instance, in September 2023, 3DR Holdings reported that Bonney Forge successfully certified a 3D-printed valve made from stainless steel alloy UNS S31603 at its 3D Printing Center of Excellence, with the certification recognized by Shell. This development represents a significant technological advancement, as 3D printing enables the production of complex shapes and customized designs that were previously difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.

In October 2025, Georg Fischer AG, a Switzerland-based industrial technology company, acquired VAG Group GmbH for approximately USD 0.222 billion (CHF 200 million). The acquisition is intended to broaden GF’s metal valve portfolio by incorporating VAG Group’s established range of valves used in utility water systems and critical infrastructure into its Industry and Infrastructure Flow Solutions division. This integration is expected to strengthen GF’s ability to provide comprehensive flow management solutions globally. VAG Group GmbH is a Germany-based manufacturer specializing in metal valves for water infrastructure and industrial applications.
