This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The Control Valves market research delivers current market analysis plus a five-year market and technology forecast. The research is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.
Control Valves Investments Reshaped by Advancements in Edge Computing and Ethernet-APL
ARC Advisory Group’s research on the Control Valves market highlights how recent advances in edge computing and Ethernet-APL are causing manufacturers to reconsider how they monitor and maintain the health and performance of their control valves. Edge computing is increasingly being used to enable centralized cloud-based dashboards that empower stakeholders across the enterprise to reduce their maintenance costs and improve their process optimization by tracking the health and performance of their valves in real time. Some vendors are already enabling direct data collection from digital positioners to the cloud using edge computing, which increases response times by bypassing the traditional control layer. Likewise, growing adoption of Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer) is enhancing connectivity and performance visibility in the field. Ethernet-APL allows manufacturers to reuse their existing fieldbus infrastructure while enabling Ethernet-like performance and supports any Ethernet- based automation protocol, making it a viable long-term solution.
Control Valves Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Control Valve market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Modular Plant Designs
End users should consider designing and building their plants in a modular fashion. Modularization breaks down systems, plants, processes, and unit operations into standard, modular components, much like those popular children’s building bricks that can be mixed and matched freely to make any number of different creations. While modularization is not a new concept for plants in the discrete and hybrid manufacturing industries, building plants in a modular fashion is even becoming practical for end users in the heavy process industries including petrochemical, refining, and power generation. For example, plants being built in the US are sourcing process modular components from countries such as Korea, Mexico, and the Philippines, which are then assembled on-site.
End users should consider modular approaches to automation because they offer significant cost savings both from a project standpoint and throughout the plant lifecycle. Modular approaches also offer a smaller footprint, easier regulatory compliance, and a path to open systems and standardization. It is no accident that end users are driving major industry initiatives—from ExxonMobil to Bayer—these companies heavily incorporate modular design concepts. Modularization concepts also fit quite well with existing standards activities such as NAMUR NE 148, ISA 106, and ISA 88.
Ensure Optimum System Performance
Control valves are prone to malfunction, often leading to losses due to leakages during continuous operations. Failure to actively monitor and avoid unaccounted leakages may lead to significant losses for companies in the heavy process industries. To avoid such losses, users should collaborate closely with suppliers during the installation, commissioning, and implementation phase to better understand any potential operational or maintenance nuances.
Remote Monitoring Services
As end users’ sites become increasingly remote and operations grow in scale, particularly within oil and gas midstream pipelines, the costs and risks associated with regularly dispatching valve maintenance personnel for routine servicing escalate significantly. In response, users are encouraged to consult with suppliers and system integrators to identify and implement advanced intelligent valve technologies that offer enhanced capabilities, such as remote monitoring and analytical functions.
Digital positioners with non-intrusive setting and commissioning, data logging, and data transfer functionalities are a viable solution for such a demanding remote application. The valve operating information can be recorded and transmitted to aid the user in evaluating valve performance, create an efficient asset management program, and schedule intrusive maintenance only when necessary.
