Valves and Actuators Demand in 2025: Growth to Pick Up Slowly Amidst Market Recovery

The global valves market expanded by an estimated 4.2% in 2023 to reach US $85 billion. This growth followed a much weaker than expected 2022 outturn. Looking ahead, we expect the global valves market to register an increase of 3.6% in 2024 and 4.1% in 2025, with the actuator market expected to grow at a similar pace.

Key findings of our report include:

  • The impact of past rate hikes appears to be weighing on industrial activity more heavily than anticipated. We expect industrial activity to grow by 2.1% in 2024 and to accelerate further in 2025, approaching 3%.
  • Sectors key to valves consumption are some of the most sensitive to interest rate changes.
  • Residential building should start to see a pick-up next year as interest rates are cut. The non-residential sector will be aided by strong government investment in the short term as industrial policy becomes a more mainstream focus.
  • The chemicals sector, on the other hand, will benefit from the end of the destocking cycle and the pass-through from lower interest rates. The upturn in industrial activity should help propel activity in the power generation sector.
