The market for ball valves is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 3.4% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 15,807.9 Mn by 2027.

Ball valves or shut-off valves are the forms of a quarter-turn valve that uses hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control flow the flow of a liquid or gas. By rotating the ball a quarter-turn or 90⁰ around its axis, the medium can be blocked or flow through. Ball valves are also used as a control valve and also offer advantages such as reliable sealing in the case of dirty media.

Market Dynamics

The rapid industrialization in developing economies along with the concept of Industry 4.0 is driving the market growth.
