The control valve market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.35 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing need for precision flow control, growth of energy-efficient valve solutions, expansion of advanced actuator technologies, rising demand in pharmaceuticals and food sectors, increasing industrial automation deployment. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of AI-driven control valve diagnostics, integration of smart manufacturing control systems, expansion of IoT-enabled flow regulation, growth of sustainable valve materials, advancement of digital monitoring platforms.

The expanding oil & gas and power sectors are anticipated to drive the growth of the control valve market in the near future. The oil & gas industry comprises companies involved in discovering resources, transporting them to refineries, and processing them into finished products. Meanwhile, the power industry includes businesses that provide gas and electricity for both domestic and commercial use. The surge in these industries necessitates the installation of control valves for processing and distribution. For example, in October 2023, the US Energy Information Administration reported an increase in U.S. crude oil output to 12.4 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, up from the record high of 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Additionally, in September 2022, U.S. consumption of natural gas reached an average of 86.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), marking the highest annual consumption of natural gas in the U.S. compared to the previous year. Consequently, the growth of the oil & gas and power industries is fueling the expansion of the control valves market.

Major companies in the control valve market are concentrating on developing advanced technologies such as autonomous flow control valves to improve system efficiency and reliability by automatically adjusting to varying pressure and flow conditions. Autonomous flow control valves are designed to automatically manage and regulate fluid flow based on system parameters, eliminating the need for external controls or manual intervention. For instance, in January 2025, InflowControl, a Norway-based technology firm, introduced the Gas Autonomous Inflow Control Valve (Gas AICV). This valve facilitates efficient gas production by allowing gas and condensate to pass freely, while simultaneously detecting and restricting water from reservoir zones experiencing water breakthrough. This self-regulating functionality ensures optimal hydrocarbon recovery and minimizes water production.

In February 2023, Motion & Control Enterprises completed the acquisition of Precision Pump & Valve (PPV) for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition marks an expansion of Motion & Control Enterprises' service portfolio and geographical footprint, harnessing the technical prowess and valve repair capabilities of PPV. Precision Pump & Valve (PPV) operates as a US-based entity specializing in safety relief and control valves, pumps, and associated process equipment, primarily catering to the oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical processing sectors. This acquisition strategically bolsters Motion & Control Enterprises' operational capacities while leveraging PPV's specialized expertise and market presence within crucial industrial segments.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have raised procurement costs for metals, actuators, and precision components used in control valve manufacturing, particularly affecting stainless steel and alloy-based assemblies sourced from Asia-Pacific and Europe. These cost pressures impact oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment industries, where large volumes of valves are deployed. Supply chain delays and increased import duties have slowed equipment upgrades; however, tariffs are also boosting domestic fabrication, encouraging local sourcing of valve components, and promoting innovation in cost-efficient actuator systems.

This control valve market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

A control valve is a power-operated device designed to regulate the rate of fluid flow, providing control over various parameters such as pressure, flow, temperature, and other variables.

The main types of control valves are linear and rotary. Linear valves function as pressure relief valves, specifically designed to prevent vacuum formation in process systems. These valves consist of components such as the valve body, actuator, and others, constructed from a variety of materials including stainless steel, alloy-based materials, cast iron, cryogenic materials, and others. They find applications across diverse industries, including oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, energy and power, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, building and construction, paper and pulp, metals and mining, and others.North America was the largest region in the control valve market in 2025.
