Market Trends of Valve Products
摘要：The largest users of valves are the petrochemical industry, power sector, metallurgical sector, chemical industry, and urban construction sector. The petrochemical industry mainly adopts API standard gate valves, globe valves, and check valves; The power sector mainly uses high-temperature pressure gate valves, globe valves, check valves, and safety valves for power stations, as well as low-pressure butterfly valves and gate valves for some water supply and drainage valves; The chemical industry mainly uses stainless steel gate valves, globe valves, and check valves; The metallurgical industry mainly uses low-pressure large-diameter butterfly valves, oxygen globe valves, and oxygen ball valves; The urban construction department mainly uses low-pressure valves, such as large-diameter gate valves for urban water pipelines, midline butterfly valves for building construction, and metal sealed butterfly valves for urban heating; Oil pipelines mainly use flat gate valves and ball valves; The pharmaceutical industry mainly uses stainless steel ball valves; The food industry mainly uses stainless steel ball valves, etc.

Due to changes in user demand, the market trend of valve products will also undergo corresponding changes. The main development trends in the future are as follows:
1. With the transfer of oil development to inland and offshore oil fields, as well as the development of the power industry from thermal power below 300000 kilowatts to thermal power, hydropower, and nuclear power above 300000 kilowatts, valve products should also change their performance and parameters accordingly according to changes in equipment application fields;
2. Urban construction systems generally use a large number of low-pressure valves and are developing towards environmentally friendly and energy-saving types. That is, they are gradually transitioning from low-pressure iron gate valves used in the past to environmentally friendly rubber plate valves, balance valves, metal sealed butterfly valves, and centerline sealed butterfly valves. Oil and gas transmission engineering is developing towards pipeline direction, which requires a large number of flat gate valves and ball valves;
The other side of energy development is energy conservation. Therefore, from the perspective of energy conservation, it is necessary to develop steam traps and move towards high parameters in subcritical and supercritical environments;
4. The construction of power stations is developing towards large-scale development, so large diameter and high-pressure safety valves and pressure reducing valves are needed, as well as fast opening and closing valves;
5. In response to the needs of complete engineering, the supply of valves has evolved from a single variety to multiple varieties and specifications. The trend is increasing for all valves required for an engineering project to be provided by a single valve manufacturer.
