Gate, Globe and Ball Valves will be the Most Popular in the $61 Billion

Industrial Valve Market in 2015

The market for industrial valves will be just under $61 billion/yr by 2015.  Gate, globe and ball valve revenues will each exceed $12 billion. The leading purchaser will be Asia. These are the most recent conclusions in the McIlvaine report: Industrial Valves World Markets published by the McIlvaine Company.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

By 2015, Asia will be buying almost twice as many industrial valves as Europe. The infrastructure and heavy industry growth in the region is causing double digit increases in annual purchases.

Globe valves will be the leader by valve type.  Ball valves will be second on the leader list.

McIlvaine has substantially changed the valve categories to focus on the physical valve type rather than use.  Previously, control valves were treated as a separate category regardless of their type. The revised categories most closely follow the segmentation used by the valve suppliers.  The scope also reflects the perspective of the valve supplier rather than some precise and less meaningful segmentation.

The valve revenues are defined as those sales reported in the valve segment by the suppliers. So, if actuators are sold by the valve supplier, they are included.  Where actuators are sold directly by an actuator manufacturer to the end user, they are not included.

With this definition the valve total revenues equal the reported revenues of all the valve suppliers. McIlvaine also estimates sales for hundreds of valve manufacturers. These validate the total revenue estimates which are also determined by models in each industry.

Asia is the Leading Purchaser in the $7.6 Billion Sedimentation and Centrifugation Market

Asia will spend $4.2 billion for sedimentation and centrifugation equipment in 2014. This is more than twice what will be spent in the Americas and more than three times what will be spent in Europe.  This is the conclusion reached in the latest update of Sedimentation/Centrifugation World Markets published by the McIlvaine Company.

In Asia, clarifiers will be the leading product. Many of these clarifiers will be built by Asian based companies. Purchases of centrifuges will exceed $1.6 billon. These machines are much more difficult to fabricate.  Therefore, they tend to be supplied by international companies.

Andritz has made considerable penetration of the sewage sludge centrifuge market. GEA Westfalia Separator Group built a centrifuge production plant in the city of Wuqing, China. Other international centrifuge suppliers have either partnerships or subsidiaries in Asia.

Eight Alfa Laval decanter centrifuges are installed in steel mills owned by Anshan Iron & Steel Group Corporation (AISC).  They separate valuable scales and iron oxides that AISC successfully recovers from the steel forming operations.

The 13th China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition held in Beijing on March 19 - 21, 2013 is illustrative of the mix of international and local centrifuges available to Chinese purchasers.

Chinese centrifuge companies exhibiting their products included Tangshan Guanneng Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. (Short Name: GN Solids Control) and Jiangsu Huada Centrifugal Machine Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

International companies were represented by Chengdu Tiansheng Centrifuge Technology which offers the Centrysis centrifuges. Melchers Company is the exclusive Partner of Ferrum Ltd. in China. Flottweg and Hiller were also exhibitors.

There has been considerable expansion of sedimentation and centrifugation manufacturing in Asia. This trend will continue at a double-digit pace.

Many Double Digit Growth Niches in the Water/Wastewater Treatment and Control Market

The market for treating and controlling fluids (water, petroleum liquids, wastewater and slurries) was $232 billion in 2012.  It is growing at 5 percent per year prior to adjustment for inflation but there are portions which are growing at double digit rates.  This is the conclusion reached by McIlvaine through extraction of forecasts from a number of the market reports it publishes.  (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

One double digit growth segment in "flow" is "smart valves."  Technology offered by the valve manufacturer to report and analyze performance and maintenance data is a rapidly growing revenue segment.

There are a number of segments within the treatment which are yielding double digit growth.  Ballast water treatment is one. Seventy thousand ships will have to spend more than $1 million each to filter and disinfect discharge water.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are the newest form of fish farming production system. RAS are typically an indoor system that allows for farmers to control environmental conditions year round. While the costs associated with constructing a RAS are typically higher than either pond or cage culture, if the system is managed properly to produce fish on a year round basis, the economic returns can make it worth the increased investment. Treatment of the recirculating water along with regulation of oxygen is a double digit growth market

RAS can also be located at existing power plants and take advantage of waste steam. This further reduces costs of fish production.  Combining water treatment and power is a double digit growth category because of many opportunities beyond RAS.

One opportunity is co-location of sewage treatment and power plants. Through the technique of sewer mining, the power plant processes the sewage passing nearby the plant.  The waste heat dries the sludge which is then burned in the power plant.  The treated wastewater is used for power plant cooling and boiler feed water.

Sewer mining is also growing at double digit rates in the form of satellite treatment plants.  With the advent of membrane bio-reactors (MBR), it is possible to economically purify the wastewater generated by a distant new sub-division.  This lessens the burden on the central plant and eliminates the transport system cost otherwise incurred.

Another growth segment is the automation of pollutant monitoring at municipal wastewater plants.  Systems continually measuring as many as twenty different pollutants allow more efficient operation of the plant, lower pollutant discharges, less chemical consumption and more accurate reporting.
