A Valve is a device which is used to control or regulate the flow of liquid and
gases. Based on the type of movement Valves can be classified as Multi-turn
valves, Quarter-turn valves, Self-actuated valves and others. The movement
of Multi- turn valve is generally linear causing linear displacement of the
valve. Quarter turn cause rotary motion which is capable of rotating from 0
degree to 90 degree. Self-actuated valve is a valve which can be operated
remotely without human intervention. An actuator is fitted into the valve
which controls the movement of the valve based on predefined conditions.
Actuator is a device which is responsible for performing certain actions
such as to control or to move a system. Generally to operate an actuator a
source of energy is necessary where in the source of energy can be in the
form of hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or mechanical. Hydraulic actuator
consists of fluid motor which uses hydraulic power to facilitate mechanical
action. Pneumatic actuators convert energy formed by vacuum or high
pressure air to linear or rotatory motion. Electric actuator is an electric
motor which converts electric energy into mechanical energy. Mechanical
actuators also called as Manual actuators are used to convert mechanical
energy to linear or rotary motion.
Positioner is a component which controls the activities of an actuator. Based
on the type of energy source provided to a positioner, an positioner can be
classified into either pneumatic or electro-pneumatic positioner.
The regional segmentation of Global Valves, Actuator and Positioner market
is by identifying the countries that are leading in the utilization of Valves
and actuators. The major countries include the U.S. and Canada in North
America; U.K., France and Germany in Europe; India, China, Japan,
Australia and South Korea in Asia-Pacific region.
Some of the key players in Valves Actuator and Positioner industry are:
Rotork Controls Inc, Honeywell Inc, Ati, Moog Inc, Saab Group, Emerson

Electric Co, Unitorque, Crane co., Cameron, Curtiss Wright Corp, Pentair
Ltd, Rockwell Collins Inc and Woodword, Inc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the past few years many Industries have seen a dramatic change in the
use of sophisticated technologies. One of the common devices used by
almost all the industries is a Valve. A Valve is a device which is used to
regulate the flow of liquid or gases by performing actions such as opening
or closing of the port. It acts as a gateway to any system which requires
regulated and directed flow activities. A valve is generally made up of 3
main components which include an actuator, a positioner and a valve body.
An actuator is a component which is responsible for inducing mechanical
movements to a device by converting energy from a source into mechanical
movements.

Whereas a positioner is a component generally fitted into a

control valve which helps in controlling the activities of an actuator,

generally opening and closing of actuator, based on predefined conditions.
When it comes to uses of Valves, actuators and Positioners in the Global
market, North America and Europe by far have the largest base for the
valves and actuators market mainly because of developed economy and
having related expertise. About 35% of global demand is satisfied by
American valve and actuator market. On the other hand, in the Asia-Pacific
region the growth of Valves and actuators market is the highest and will
continue to grow due to industrialization and technological advancement.

According to U.S Department of Commerce, in the year 2014, the import of

hydraulic actuators from the major trade partners was recorded to be about
$ 7.2 billion where in the major trade partners were Germany, Japan,
Mexico, Canada, China and many others. While the export of hydraulic
actuators to major trade partners was recorded to be about $5.5 billion
where in the major trade partners for export were Canada, Mexico, China,
Brazil, Germany and many others.

One of the leading consumers of actuator and positioner market is the

Aerospace industry.

In the year 2013 the aerospace industry saw a

remarkable growth which in turn resulted in increase in demand for

actuators and positioners in the U.S., European and Asian markets. The
operating profits and the revenue of aerospace industry was the highest in
the history. Top Aerospace companies like Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and
many others set a record by earning highest operating profit and revenue.

Since the number of civil passengers are increasing, the civil aerospace
market is forecast to grow remarkably in the coming years and is expected
to double between 2015- 2030. The driving force for this growth is not only
because of the need to replace the aging aircrafts with more efficient and
environmental friendly ones, but also because there is global increase in
the air traffic, which is suspected to grow at the rate of 4.7% between 20152030. Thus, the increasing demand for new aircrafts in civil aerospace
market will remain a key driver for the actuators and positioners market in
the coming years.
When it comes to valve market, the major consumer for valve market is the
Oil & Gas industry. The sales in Middle east for valves is the highest as
there are a number of Oil extracting industries where in valve is an
important component for Oil extraction. As countries like U.S. and Canada
are investing in Oil Shale and Tar Oil exploration, the demand for valve,
which is the key driver for such explorations, will increase substantially.

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

 Valves, actuators and positioners are widely being used in oil and gas,
aerospace industry followed by automotive and mining industry.
Rapid industrialization in developing countries like India and China is
the major driving force for valves, actuators and positioner market
Automated valves are widely being used as a solution to problem of
safety and security in an operational plant
In Robotics, Piezoelectric actuators are widely being used which takes
electric signals as inputs and converts it into mechanical motion.
Positioners are now being equipped with sensors to detect failures
and faults precisely which up till now were being identified indirectly.
