Vacuum Valve Global Market Report 2024

The vacuum valve market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.4 billion in 2023 to $1.57 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth witnessed in the historic period can be credited to various factors including the demand in industrial manufacturing, the semiconductor and electronics industry, applications within healthcare and analytical instruments, research and development activities, as well as advancements in energy and power generation sectors.

The vacuum valve market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.46 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by ongoing industrial applications, advancements in semiconductor technology, growth within biomedical instrumentation, expansion of analytical instrumentation applications, and the progression of renewable energy projects. Major trends expected during this period include a heightened emphasis on energy efficiency, increased applications in thin-film deposition technologies, a focus on environmental and regulatory compliance, significant investments in research and development for enhanced performance, and the globalization of manufacturing processes.

The vacuum valve market anticipates an upswing owing to the escalating production of flat-panel displays for consumer electronics. Flat-panel displays, smaller and more energy-efficient than CRTs, drive demand for vacuum and emission reduction equipment in their manufacturing. Hindustan Times reported the FPD market at $100 billion in 2020, projected to exceed $125 billion by 2024. This surge in flat-panel display production acts as a driver for the vacuum valve market's growth.

The advancing semiconductor industry is poised to propel the vacuum valve market's growth. As semiconductor technology strives for smaller nodes and increased processing power, the industry increasingly relies on vacuum valves to accommodate these advancements. Shrinking nodes and evolving chip designs necessitate more vacuum-reliant processes. The Semiconductor Industry Association reported a record-breaking $574.1 billion in global semiconductor industry sales in 2022, marking a 3.3% increase from the previous year's $555.9 billion. This surge in the semiconductor sector fuels the expansion of the vacuum valve market.

The vacuum valve market is witnessing a drive towards innovation, notably in the development of vacuum conveyors tailored to address material handling challenges. Piab, a Sweden-based leader in vacuum technology and automation solutions, launched the piFLOWam vacuum conveyor in December 2021, specifically designed for additive manufacturing. Crafted from stainless steel, this conveyor accommodates material temperatures of up to 140°F (60°C) and weighs 33 lbs (15 kg), offering a maximum feed pressure of 101.5 psi (7 bar). Its compact design allows versatile installation atop 3D printers, intermediate vessels, or depowdering stations, even within confined spaces, addressing material handling requirements efficiently.

Prominent players in the vacuum valve market are concentrating efforts on advanced solutions, particularly ball valves, to manage fluid flow efficiently. Conval Inc., a leading US-based manufacturer specializing in high-quality, high-pressure forged steel valves, introduced Camseal in-line renewable ball valves in January 2021. These valves target savings in labor, materials, and downtime within high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Featuring a unique top-entry design enabling quick in-line access and straightforward cartridge-style renewability in just 30 minutes, these metal-seated valves cater to stringent pressure and temperature requirements. The one-piece body design mitigates pipeline stresses and associated loosening while ensuring zero body, seat, and stem leakage on both manual and actuated valves.

In November 2021, Atlas Copco, a Swedish industrial tools and equipment manufacturer, successfully acquired HHV Pumps Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition not only bolsters Atlas Copco's market presence but also integrates HHV Pumps into the Vacuum Technique Business Area's Industrial Vacuum Division. By merging with HHV Pumps, an India-based vacuum pump manufacturer, Atlas Copco gains enhanced local production capabilities, augmenting its competitive edge in the industrial tools and equipment domain.

Vacuum valves encompass pressure control valves, isolation valves, transfer valves, air admittance valves, and check valves. Pressure control valves regulate system pressure, adjusting force on hydraulic components. These valves are crafted from materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, glass, polyvinyl chloride, and others. They operate within low-to-medium vacuum (> 10-3 torr), high vacuum (10-3->10-8 torr), and very high vacuum (10-8 torr) ranges. Various industries, including analytical instruments, chemicals, flat-panel display manufacturing, food & beverages, paper & pulp, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, thin-film coatings, and others, rely on these valves for their operations.
