Sanitary Valve Market to Exceed $3.4 Billion in 2015
The sales of valves to meet the rigid requirements of the pharmaceutical, food and other life science industries in 2015 will exceed $3.4 billion worldwide. This is the last forecast in Industrial Valves World Market published by the McIlvaine Company. (

Traditionally, Europe and the U.S. have been the big markets for pharmaceutical valves. The rapid construction of generic manufacturing facilities in India and China, along with a general trend to build manufacturing facilities close to the market, is creating a market shift toward Asia.
Much of the growth in food processing is also in Asia where there is a growth in production along with greater concern for contamination. This increases the average sales price per valve as more expensive materials of construction and more expensive designs are needed. The food industry also has need for valves which can withstand the higher temperatures associated with safe processing.
"Other Life Sciences" include cosmetics and a number of small niche applications. Valves used in hospitals are not included in these industrial forecasts.
The market for valves for municipal drinking water plants in 2015 will be more than $3.8 billion. However, these valves are not designed to the high sanitary levels required of valves in the life sciences. One reason is that disinfection is a common method of protection of drinking water, but is not acceptable as a way to treat fluids processed in the life sciences.
The life sciences segment of the valve market has grown more steadily and at a higher rate than the average segment. For more information on Industrial Valves World Market, click on:

Worldwide sales of gas turbine power plants are increasing steadily. The growth rate is highest in the U.S. Capacity is expected to grow from the present 300,000 MW to over 500,000 MW in 2040. The suppliers of treatment chemicals will achieve sales of $160 million in this sector in 2015. This is the conclusion reached by the McIlvaine Company in

East Asia will enjoy much higher sales of treatment chemicals in the total power market. However, sales for the gas turbine segment will be smaller.
There are a number of processes in a gas turbine combined cycle power plant which require treatment chemicals:
The requirements differ from plant to plant. Some plants in the U.S. are opting for dry cooling. This eliminates one use of chemicals. Other plants are opting to use treated municipal wastewater for cooling. This increases chemical use. Those plants opting for zero liquid discharge use more chemicals.
The big difference is whether the plant is a simple or combined cycle operation. The simple cycle plants do not generate steam, but still require water treatment for fogging nozzles and compressor washing.

Finding the Right Treatment, Flow Control or Process Supplier among 40,000
Worldwide Choices
There are thousands of suppliers of combustion, water treatment, separation, heat exchange, air pollution control and water pollution control systems. For each process there are thousands of companies supplying pumps, valves, nozzles, blowers and treatment chemicals. Many applications have very specific requirements which are best filled by one of a few companies. How do you find these few companies among the many thousands which fit the general description?
This challenge is even greater if you are in a country where English is the second language and the company and product listings may differ from those in English. However, McIlvaine is making this selection process much easier with the OEM Networking Directory. In certain segments, it already has a very powerful combination of
Continuous Analyses along with the directory. The analysis lists the advantages and disadvantages of the various options and provides the names of the vendors. The directory then provides contacts at those companies along with information on similar companies.Obtaining the name of the company in one language and then determining the right subsidiary and location in another can be daunting. McIlvaine has created a number to identify every corporate parent. The names in various languages are linked to the number as are the names of the subsidiaries along with the products made by that subsidiary. A comprehensive display lacking only the personnel contact names is shown at:
http://www.mcilvainecompany.com/OEM/Subscriber/defaultcogroup.htm.One of the most important efforts is to match corporate names in English with those in Chinese.
