Domestic:
Although the domestic valve industry began adopting international standards and joint design and development in the mid-1980s, and most products adopted international standards and advanced foreign standards, due to differences in implementation, the quality level of domestic valve products is still lower than the requirements of international standards. Mainly manifested in:
(1) The wall thickness of the blank exceeds the tolerance;
⑵ Poor surface roughness quality of castings;
⑶ Poor casting dimensional accuracy;
The phenomenon of internal and external leakage in general valves is severe, and some valves cannot guarantee reliable operation within a maintenance period;
The variety of driving devices is limited, the specifications are incomplete, and the reliability is poor, which cannot meet the needs of large complete sets of equipment.

1. Routine inspection is required;
2. Supporting facilities for new projects;
3. Emergency reserve.
Through investigation and analysis of the valve market, the overall trend of valve demand in the coming years is on the rise. As a product with a large quantity and wide range, the demand for valves is steadily increasing. Among them, the several valves with high demand are as follows:
Ball valve (15.5%), globe valve (12.9%), safety valve (12.5%), gate valve (12.5%), butterfly valve (10.6%), regulating valve (8.0%), and check valve (6.1%). These types of valves account for 46.7% of the total, but their demand has reached 78%.
After sales service for valve products
In today's valve market, although valve quality and price are the two top considerations for most enterprises (79.8% of users prioritize quality and 5.8% prioritize price). However, as a key aspect of marketing management, after-sales service for valve products has been widely applied in many industries. The valve industry is no exception. Although it is currently not yet perfect, the customer has made requests for this factor.
The after-sales service methods include "three guarantees", free installation, technical guidance, and regular follow-up. State owned and private enterprises most hope that after-sales service includes the content of the "three guarantees" commitment; Private enterprises and joint ventures most hope for free installation of after-sales service; Collective, private, and foreign-funded enterprises hope that after-sales service can provide technical guidance; State owned and joint venture enterprises hope that after-sales service can be regularly followed up.
Due to the promise of "three guarantees", regular follow-up visits, and technical guidance being favored by most industries as after-sales service methods (free installation is not mandatory for many enterprises), valve manufacturers should focus on providing high-quality after-sales service methods according to user needs to meet their after-sales service needs.
