Solenoid Valves Market Size

Solenoid Valves Market Analysis

The Solenoid Valves Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. The market for solenoid valves is primarily driven by the growing popularity of process automation and the increased deployment of solenoid valves in various process sectors. For instance, these valves are frequently used in water treatment facilities. They assist in removing organic pollutants from contaminated water and have several other uses.

• Numerous solenoid valves, including those composed of plastic, brass, and stainless steel, are used in the water treatment sector. They can be used for various equipment intake valves, tank filling, service valves on water softeners, piloting larger actuated valves with air or water, and more.
• Further, the solenoid valve is one of the most commonly used in the food processing industry and is a great option for food processing. Many solenoid valves are designed to withstand harsh room temperatures and moist, corrosive conditions. Solenoid valves are often constructed with stainless steel because of the material's resistance to contaminants.
• A solenoid valve can also be used in hydropower, a kind of renewable energy, as a component of a system to control the flow of water. The rise in renewable energy projects is expected to drive the studied market. For instance, in November this year, as part of Invest Karnataka, ABC Cleantech and the Government of Karnataka signed an MoU for the establishment of a green hydrogen production unit with an annual capacity of 0.2 million tonnes and a green ammonia production unit with an annual capacity of 1 million tonnes, both integrated with 5 GW of renewable energy projects and costing an estimated USD 6 billion.
• The solenoid valves are of utmost importance in the medical sector as they facilitate delivering the correct concentration of gas and rate of flow to a patient on medical ventilators. In addition, solenoid valves moderate the oxygen flow rate with great speed and precision (increments as small as half a liter per minute) which provides effective patient care. The COVID-19 pandemic augmented the demand for critical medical equipment, thereby increasing the demand for solenoid valves.
• The medical sector is also witnessing several solenoid valve innovations catering to specific vital applications. For instance, in April this year, Emerson expanded its ASCO Series 090 line of miniature solenoid valves, adding a three-way Series 090 valve configuration to enable lighter, space-efficient solutions for gas control in oxygen therapy, compression therapy, and gas analyzer devices.
• However, one of the reasons that can hinder market expansion is solenoid coil failure, which has various possible causes. The coil could malfunction and perhaps burn out if the wrong voltage is applied. Electrical surges or spikes could also harm the coil. Coils that have burned out are beyond repair and must be replaced.
