Pigging Valves Global Market Report 2024

Pigging valves are valves designed for the closure and release of pipeline inspection tools to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of pipelines. These valves play a crucial role in launching and retrieving interventions in pipelines.

There are two main types of pigging valves such as bypass pigging valves and shutoff pigging valves. Bypass pigging valves are utilized to enable smooth operations during pig launching and receiving, ensuring a safe and convenient process. In their default position, the ball and seat isolate the valve pig chamber from the flow line. This configuration permits a reduction in flow capacity without completely shutting off the flow line during injection or receiving operations. Technologies such as ultrasonic piping, magnetic flux piping, and caliper are employed in these valves. The end-use industries encompass the oil and gas sector, pharmaceuticals, chemical industry, refining, petrochemical industries, water, sewage and effluent, food-processing industries, among others.

These pigging valves market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The pigging valves market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.52 billion in 2023 to $4.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the growth of the industry, adherence to regulatory standards, and advancements in infrastructure development.

The pigging valves market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to emerging markets, a heightened emphasis on energy efficiency, and increased investments in research and development. Key trends expected during this period encompass digitalization and IoT integration, automation and robotics, remote operation and monitoring, customization, modular design, as well as collaborations and partnerships, contributing to global market expansion.

The anticipated growth in the pigging valve market is attributed to the increasing activities in oil and gas exploration. These activities involve extracting oil and gas from the ground, leading to the construction of additional pipelines for the transportation of these resources. Pigging valves play a crucial role in connecting these pipes in preparation for the integration of the pipelines. For example, in October 2021, the Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas approved $3.8 billion for enhancing refining capacity, and in the same year, Bharat Petroleum invested $13.66 billion in upstream oil and gas exploration and production. This surge in oil and gas exploration activities is a driving force for the pigging valves market.

The growth of the pigging valve market is further expected to be fueled by the increasing import and export activities of fluids through pipelines, including chemicals, crude oil, and refined petroleum products. These pipeline activities involve the movement of various commodities and energy resources across national and international borders, facilitated by pipelines as critical infrastructure. For instance, in September 2023, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in India reported an 8.2% year-on-year growth in the import and export of petroleum products. The rising demand for fluid transportation through pipelines contributes to the growth of the pigging valves market.

A prominent trend in the pigging valve market is the introduction of new product innovations by major companies in the sector. Companies are focused on developing and launching new products to meet the evolving demands of consumers. For example, in November 2021, Hartmann, a Germany-based provider of pigging valves and wellheads, introduced a new pigging ball valve featuring various safety barriers to the sluice chamber. This innovation enhances safety and ease of pig launching and receiving, even in the presence of residual pressure in the main line, automatically locking to prevent spills in case of a leak.

Major companies in the pigging valve market are strategically engaging in partnerships and collaborations, particularly with start-ups and mid-sized companies, to expand their product and service offerings. These strategic collaborations and acquisition agreements enable companies to broaden their existing product portfolios and extend their geographical reach. For instance, in April 2022, ITT Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Habonim Industrial Valves & Actuators Ltd. for $140 million. This acquisition aims to expand ITT Inc. 's specialty valve portfolio, including cryogenic and hydrogen ball valve offerings for green energy applications.

In July 2021, MOGAS Industries, a US-based oil and gas services company, acquired Watson Valve, broadening MOGAS's presence in the valves and valve repair sector. Watson Valve is a Houston-based manufacturer of severe service valves.
