Valve Actuators

The Valve Actuators market research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. It is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions and most major countries.

Valve Actuators Demand Driven by Proliferation of Green Hydrogen Value Chain

ARC Advisory Group research on the Valve Actuators global market reveals that the proliferation of the green hydrogen value chain is driving demand. The ongoing drive toward promoting green, zero emissions, and sustainable energy is leading to several new investments and research to develop conceptualized hydrogen-powered economies across the globe. Europe is investing heavily in hydrogen-based power generation. A German-based company, ThyssenKrupp, which is part of the new green hydrogen consortium, recently received a 30 million grant from the German government and is working on an 88-Megawatt electrolyzer project with Quebec Hydro. Several new midstream pipeline projects are planned for safe hydrogen transmission in the region. Leading valves and actuator manufacturers are also developing new product portfolios for hydrogen service to capitalize on these upcoming opportunities.

Valve Actuators Strategic Issues

Valve ActuatorsIn addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Valve Actuators Market Research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Leverage Smart Sensors

Smart sensors, as an enabler for Industrial IoT, will play an increasingly important role in process automation in the future. ARC recommends users work closely with suppliers and other stakeholders to better understand how to measure ROI and share best practices for intelligent device management. Users should always seek opportunities to leverage industry standards such as ISA 108 (intelligent device management) to improve their own plants’ operational performance and help promote the application of smart field systems and intelligent device management in their respective industries.

Use Ethernet Connectivity for Greater Process Insight

Ethernet connection is generating a lot of interest in both the user and supplier communities. Ethernet offers many benefits — lower total cost of ownership (TCO), improved adaptability, better security, widespread availability, and market familiarity. It offers improved connectivity and functionality, allowing for easier access to measurement information.

In recent years, networking technology has also overcome many of its disadvantages that hindered adoption in the industrial world. Using fiber-optic cables, Ethernet can be deployed for longer distances. Ethernet switches for hazardous areas are available and users also have the option of Power over Ethernet (PoE), so there is no need to run additional lines for power supply. In the process world, Ethernet can now connect a wide range of field instruments to a central control system.

Use Industrial IoT to Address Skills Gap

End user organizations continue to face a shortfall of qualified personnel, as fewer new workforce entries perceive process automation, process engineering, chemical engineering, or similar technical fields as attractive career paths. Furthermore, it can take up to two years to train a new hire effectively in the field of automation, and once trained, it may be difficult to retain that individual. This “brain drain” is a major challenge for end user organizations, and advanced technology and automation—such as, Industrial IoT can play a key role in filling this skills gap.
