Coal and Gas Valve Markets to Exceed $20 Billion By 2019
Two of the largest industries purchasing valves are coal-fired power generation
and oil & gas production. Due to the Chinese decision to manufacture large
quantities of gas from coal, the combined market is going to exceed $20 billion
by 2019. This is the latest forecast in McIlvaine Industrial Valves: World
Market. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Oil and gas valve revenues are forecast to grow by nearly $3 billion over the
next five years to $12.7 billion in 2019.
Oil and Gas Valve Revenues ($ Millions)
Continent 2014 2019
Total 9,907 12,734
Africa 1,564 2,200
America 2,951 3,573
Asia 3,608 4,780
Europe 1,784 2,181
Power plant valve revenues are projected to rise by $2.1 billion in the next
five years to $9.6 billion in 2019.
Power Plant Valve Revenues ($ Millions)
Continent 2014 2019
Total 7,507 9,630
Africa 206 286
America 1,430 1,420
Asia 4,494 6,440
Europe 1,377 1,484
This forecast will continue to be modified as factors change. The biggest
question is whether China can actually build the huge infrastructure to convert
coal-to-gas in the west and north parts of the country and then transport it
thousands of miles to the eastern cities.
The latest forecasts from the analysts reflect large imports of Russian gas to
China as well as substantial import of LNG.
Gas Use In China in 2025 (bcm)
Source Industry Forecast McIlvaine Forecast
Conventional extraction 100 100
Shale gas extraction 60 50
Pipeline imports 70 50
LNG Imports 80 40
Coal-to-gas including CBM and UCG 80 200
Total 390 440
McIlvaine has adjusted these forecasts to estimate the 2025 gas use based on the
announced 40 coal-to-gas projects. These projects will supply 200 bcm/yr of gas
if they all proceed. The present U.S. shale gas production is 300 bcm. So the
Chinese initiative will be equal to two-thirds of the present U.S. shale gas
production. This will make a major impact on the world energy supply.
Millions of valves will be needed for the 40 Chinese coal-to-gas plants. A small
number of these valves have already been ordered, but the purchase activity will
be increasing over the next several years. By 2019, purchases for these plants
should be reaching a peak.

Flow Control and Treatment Sales in the World’s Semiconductor Industry Will
Increase To Over $6.5 Billion In 2015
The semiconductor industry has rebounded and will increase its purchases of flow
control and treatment equipment for air, water and other liquids and gases to
over $6.5 billion in 2015. These forecasts were calculated by McIlvaine Company
through aggregation of revenues in a number of McIlvaine market reports. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)
Semiconductor Flow and Treatment Revenues 2015
Segment $ Millions
Cleanroom Hardware 660
Cleanroom Consumables 2,400
Air and Water Monitoring 170
Air Pollution Control Equipment 300
Ultrapure Water Systems 1,200
Valves 460
Pumps 130
Water Treatment Chemicals 410
Liquid Macrofiltration 40
Liquid Cartridges 460
Cross-Flow Membrane Systems and Replacement Modules 230
Sedimentation and Centrifugation 50
Total Flow Control and Treatment 6,510
The biggest expenditures will be for cleanroom consumables. These include masks
and clothing which prevent people from contaminating the air in the chip
manufacturing space. The ultrapure water systems ensure that the water washing
the chips after each step will not contaminate the sub-micron lines etched in
the silicon wafers.
Substantial expenditures are needed to purify the water used in the systems.
Pumps and valves are specially designed to maintain water and fluid purity.
SEMI, the global industry association for companies that supply manufacturing
technology and materials to the world’s chip makers, is forecasting strong
growth in 2014 and 2015. Following two years of spending declines, key drivers
for equipment spending are investments by foundry and logic fabs for sub-20-nm
technology, NAND flash makers for leading edge technology (including 3D NAND)
and capacity, DRAM technology upgrades for mobile applications and expansion of
advanced packaging capacity for flip chip, wafer bumping and wafer-level
packaging. All regions of the world are projected to see equipment spending
increases in 2015. Front-end wafer processing equipment is forecast to grow 11.9
percent in 2015 to $34.8 billion, up from $31.1 billion in 2014. The forecast
indicates that next year is on track to be the second largest spending year
ever, surpassed only by $47.7 billion spent in 2000.
Growth is forecast in all regions except ROW in 2014 and all regions in 2015.
Taiwan is forecast to continue to be the world’s largest spender with $11.6
billion estimated for 2014 and $12.3 billion for 2015. In 2014, North America is
second at $7.2 billion, followed by South Korea at $6.9 billion. For 2015, South
Korea is in second place ($8.0 billion) in spending, followed by North America
($7.3 billion).
In 2014, year-over-year increases are expected to be largest for China (47.3
percent), North America (35.7 percent), South Korea (33.percent) and Europe
(29.7 percent). Year-over-year percentage increases for 2015 are largest for
Europe (47.8 percent increase), ROW (23.5 percent), Japan (15.6 percent) and
South Korea (15.0 percent).
