Control valves are types of valves which are used to control conditions such as temperature, flow, liquid level and pressure by fully or partially closing or opening in response to the signals received from the controllers. Control valves are used in various industries such as oil and gas, wastewater management, automotive, pharmaceuticals, mining, chemicals, and food and beverages, among others. In terms of product type, the control valves market has been segmented into manual control valves, pneumatic control valves, hydraulic control valves and electric control valves. The market for control valves is primarily driven by the increase in energy consumption, coupled with increasing demand from process industries such as oil and gas.
