Global Solenoid Valves Market valuation is expected to reach USD 6.05 Billion by 2030, growing at a 4.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2020 and 2030).
A solenoid valve is an electrically controlled valve, featuring an electric coil (solenoid) with a movable ferromagnetic core (plunger) in its center. The electric current through the coil creates a magnetic field to exerts an upwards force on the plunger opening the orifice.
Solenoid valves, with their high/low pressures and small/large flow rates, are used in a wide range of applications, including Refrigeration systems, Irrigation systems, Dishwashers & washing machines, Air conditioning systems, automatic locking systems, Medical & dental equipment, Water tanks, and Carwashes.
Solenoid valves are also commonly used in oxygen therapy devices as pressures in medical device applications are typically lower than industrial applications, and solenoid valves can offer value and reliability while providing excellent function. Solenoid valves offer medical device designers several technical advantages, including portability, power management, scalability, electronics integration, smart technology, and custom design support.
COVID-19 Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in the closing down of several manufacturing facilities across the globe. The pandemic caused huge revenue losses in end-use industries like healthcare and automotive. The coronavirus lockdown put a brake on the production of several key raw materials in the global market, which, in turn, spiked the prices and lowered the demand for the product.
The strict lockdown mandates imposed by governments have restricted cross-border trade between countries, another factor proving to be detrimental for the solenoid valve market share. However, the solenoid valve industry is rapidly returning to normal, mainly due to the increasing use of solenoid valves in the burgeoning medical device sector and surgical tools market.
Solenoid valve manufacturers are drawing up plans for the international market as a new supply link in the global medical devices industry, as companies look to re-engineer supply chains in the aftermath of COVID-19. Also, it is expected that the product demand in end-user sectors could pick up following the uplift of the lockdown in numerous countries.
