Market Trends of Global Valves in Oil and Gas Industry Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Valves in Oil & Gas Market according to our research experts:
Ball Valves is Expected to gain significant market share
- The Ball valve has a sealing ability and is ideal for regulating gases due to its sealing ability. The valves provide airtight seals for gas under pressure upto700 bars and temperatures up to 200 degrees Celcius.
- The rotation is provided with 90 degrees for full close or fully open and is considered the most inexpensive product for replacements and fresh installments. However, the ball valves are not used for corrosive fluids as it damages the product and brings in leaks in the oil and gas plants.
- The rising gas projects across the globe have increased innovations among vendors. For instance according to Baker Huges the number of US gas and oil rigs in operation at the end of May 2022 accounted to 727 compared to 698 in April 2022. Such growth in opeartions increases the demand for ball valves studied in the market.
- In August 2021, Dixon announced the launch of 2-piece stainless steel ball valves for the oil and gas industry that can replace 6 different common ball valve ranges. Such innovations reduce the burden of re-investments or service investments from the industries and drive the market studied.

Middle East and Africa to Dominant the Market
- The Middle Eastern region has been through massive changes and has landed more projects for the oil and gas industry. Some of the ongoing projects are Upper Zakum, a production capacity enhancement project that costs USD 21.8 billion. The project is expected to be complete by 2024, when Zadco increases the production capacity from 50,000 b/d to around 1 million b/d. Such instance increases the need for different types of valves in the industry.
- Similarly, Africa is also expected to gain huge demand for valves in its oil and gas industries owing to increased investments. For instance, in Tanzania, a Liquefied Natural Gas Liquefaction project is aimed to be completed by 2028 with an investment of USD 30 billion and is expected to begin in 2023. the project is expected to have a capacity to produce 10 million tons of LNG per year. Therefore driving the market in Africa.
- The demand for valves is driving partnerships in the region. For instance, in January 2022, AMPO POYAM VALVES signed a corporate procurement agreement with Aramco in the 6th edition of the In-Kingdom Total Value Add Forum to supply engineered valves as well as ad-hoc and added value services. AMPO has been in Saudi Arabia and has supplied more than 20,000 valves for strategic projects in the oil and gas industries. Therefore such developments are driving the market in the region.
