1. GLOBAL VALVES, ACTUATORS AND POSITIONERS 

MARKET OVERVIEW 

1.1 REPORT SCOPE 

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 electropneumatic 

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.

2. 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 one’s, but also because there is global increase in the air traffic, which is 

suspected to grow at the rate of 4.7% between 2015-2030. 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.
