Surge in demand from the oil & gas industry, increase in utilization of power in industrial processes, and rise in need for automation in process industries drive the growth in the market. However, high level of competition from local players and possibility of choking and cavitation hinder the market growth. On the other hand, increase in demand for industrial infrastructure and untapped potential in emerging economies create new opportunities in the market.
Global butterfly valves market is estimated to garner $13.66 billion by 2025, from $8.28 billion in 2017, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2018 to 2025.
High-performance butterfly valve segment to be lucrative
