Driven by the energy transition, industrial upgrading and infrastructure construction, the global valve market reached a scale of over 85 billion US dollars in 2025, an increase of 5.3% compared to 2024, demonstrating a stable growth resilience. According to the predictions of industry authorities, the global valve market will maintain a compound annual growth rate of 4.7% from 2025 to 2030, and the market size is expected to rise to 114.6 billion US dollars by 2030, marking a new stage of "stable quantity and rising quality" in the industry. Among them, China, as the core growth pole of the global valve industry, is expected to have a market size of 17.1 billion US dollars (approximately 120-138.8 billion yuan) in 2025, with a growth rate significantly higher than the global average, reaching 5.8%-6.21%. It is expected that the market size in China will exceed 22 billion US dollars in 2030, accounting for more than 19% of the global market share.
The market growth exhibits a distinct "dual-wheel drive" characteristic: On one hand, the demand for upgrading existing equipment in traditional sectors such as oil and gas, power, and water treatment remains stable and continuous. These markets account for over 60% of the global valve demand. In the oil and gas industry, the replacement demand for high-pressure ball valves and gate valves is growing at an average annual rate of 4.2%, while in the power industry, due to the renovation of old power plants, the annual demand for valves exceeds 3 billion US dollars. On the other hand, the explosive growth in the new energy sector has become the core growth engine. The hydrogen valve market is growing at an annual rate of 21.9%, and is expected to reach 860 million US dollars in 2030, mainly used for hydrogen storage and transportation, and fuel cell support, etc. The nuclear power sector benefits from the global "carbon neutrality" policy, with the construction of small modular reactors accelerating. In 2025, the market size of nuclear power valves in China will be approximately 8.5 billion US dollars, and will increase to 12-15 billion US dollars by 2030. The demand for nuclear-grade stop valves, safety valves, etc. is also strong. The export performance is equally impressive. In 2025, China's valve export volume will exceed 5 billion US dollars, increasing by 8.5% compared to 2024. High-end products such as eccentric ball valves and intelligent regulating valves have an export growth rate of over 11%. Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia are the main export destinations. The international competitiveness of domestic high-end valves continues to improve.
