Isolation valves represent a category of valves designed to halt the flow of fluid or gas within a system. They find application in tasks such as pressure gauge isolation, pressure transmitter isolation, orifice plate pressure tapings, and various measurement devices.
The primary types of isolation valves include ball valves, butterfly valves, knife gate valves, plug valves, and others. A ball valve, for instance, serves as a shut-off valve by regulating the flow of liquid or gas through the rotation of a ball within a bore. The valves operate in various modes, including automated and manual, and are distributed through different sales channels such as original equipment (OE) and the aftermarket. End-user industries for these valves encompass oil and gas, power generation, chemical and petrochemical, water and wastewater, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the metals and minerals sector, disrupting supply chains for automakers, appliance manufacturers, and infrastructure projects. With reduced competition from imports, domestic mills have increased prices, yet capacity limitations hinder their ability to fully meet demand. At the same time, mining companies are facing challenges from retaliatory tariffs on key mineral exports, especially lithium and rare earth elements. In response, industry participants are ramping up investments in scrap metal recycling, seeking tariff exemptions, and forming joint ventures with international producers to ensure a more reliable supply chain.
The isolation valves market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides isolation valves market statistics, including isolation valves industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an isolation valves market share, detailed isolation valves market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the isolation valves industry. This isolation valves market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The isolation valves market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.71 billion in 2024 to $3.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial expansion and infrastructure development, market diversification across industries, demand for maintenance and replacement, environmental concerns and efficiency, globalization and market expansion.
The isolation valves market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to industry-specific demand growth, rise in infrastructure projects, increasing demand for maintenance and replacement, market penetration in emerging economies, expansion of environmental regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on operational efficiency and cost reduction, automation and smart valve solutions, technological advancements in valve design, environmental sustainability demands, industry-specific applications and customization.
The forecast of 6.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through delayed shipments of corrosion-resistant valves from the UK and South Korea, hindering maintenance in water treatment and power plants. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The expansion of the oil and gas industry is anticipated to drive growth in the isolation valve market in the coming years. The oil and gas industry encompasses the global activities involved in exploring, extracting, processing, transporting, and distributing petroleum and natural gas products to provide energy for various sectors, including transportation, manufacturing, and power generation. Isolation valves play a crucial role in this industry, as they are used to isolate specific sections of pipelines or process systems, facilitating maintenance, repairs, and safety procedures. They also help control the flow of fluids or gases, prevent backflow, and regulate pressure. For example, in September 2024, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the UK-based tax, payments, and customs authority, reported that total government revenues from UK oil and gas production reached $11.70 billion for the financial year 2022 to 2023, a significant increase from $1.82 billion in the previous year, representing a rise of $9.88 billion. Consequently, the growth of the oil and gas industry is set to propel the isolation valve market in the future.
The growth of the isolation valves market is expected to be propelled by the expansion of the chemical industry. This expansion refers to the industry's growth and innovation, including increased capital investments in emerging fields such as batteries, recycling, and pyrolysis. In the chemical industry, isolation valves play a crucial role in ensuring safety, process control, and overall operational efficiency in chemical processing plants. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 13.4% growth in the trade value of chemical manufacturing products exported in 2022, amounting to $288.0 billion. Additionally, ACS Publications noted a recovery in the US chemical sector in 2021, with a 1.4% production growth, and anticipated a 4.3% growth rate in chemical output in 2022. Therefore, the expansion of the chemical industry is a driving factor in the growth of the isolation valves market.
Major players in the isolation valve market are strategically focusing on innovative product launches to enhance their product portfolios. For example, Kitz Corporation, a Japan-based valve manufacturer, introduced an extension bonnet ball valve in November 2022 to improve its low-temperature ball valve series. This extension bonnet design prevents stem sealing area freezing and features a vent hole on the ball to prevent excessive cavity pressure, catering to various industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, and chemical processing. Furthermore, these companies offer a range of ball valves with safety features such as vented balls, blowout-proof stems, and prevention of lever misalignment, contributing to the overall safety and reliability of their products.
Major players are also focusing on innovation in explosion isolation valves to enhance industrial and manufacturing operations. In April 2022, Switzerland-based RICO Sicherheitstechnik launched the next generation of the VENTEX explosion isolation valve, featuring a wide range of innovations and optimizations. This passive protection against explosions offers enhanced flow velocity, improved pressure drop values, and advanced maintenance modalities, applicable in various settings where explosion isolation is crucial.
In February 2023, Trillium Flow Technologies, a U.S.-based company known for manufacturing various flow control products, acquired Coulter Valve Service for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables Trillium to enhance its service capabilities and advance its global service growth strategy. Coulter Valve Service, also based in the U.S., specializes in manufacturing isolation valves and provides maintenance, repair, and modification services for essential valve types used in both nuclear and commercial applications.
