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 exert an upwards force on the plunger opening the orifice. Increasing adoption of solenoid valves in the food & beverages industry, shift to renewable sources for power generation, and development of application-specific solenoid valves is driving the demand for the solenoid valve. In addition, compatibility and technical issues in solenoid valves hampered market growth. Moreover, increasing demand in wastewater treatment industries creates an opportunity for solenoid valve vendors.

COVID-19 Analysis

With countries across the globe under lockdown (due to the spread of COVID-19), people are working from home. Moreover, with the instability in financial markets, the pandemic has brought lives to a standstill. Though the efforts to curb the impact of the global pandemic are at full pace, it is still unclear when the overall situation will come to normalcy. Solenoid valves are essential equipment in many industries, including chemical, oil & gas, power, water & wastewater, and food & beverage. These valves serve as control units, shutting off or allowing fluid flow when electrically energized or de-powered. Within the global solenoid valve industry, almost 40% of the supply chain is dependent on supply from China and other countries in Asia-Pacific. Hence, the pandemic has resulted in a halt in the production activities of solenoid valve components, resulting in a disrupted supply chain.

COVID-19 has substantially restricted the growth of the solenoid valve market since last year, and this trend is expected to continue through 2021. Significant demand for solenoid valves has been observed from massive industrial countries that are severely impacted by the coronavirus.  The COVID-19 outbreak has had detrimental effects on the global economy as many industries have been affected by the current circumstances, and operations of various sectors have come to a standstill. The lockdown restrictions have drastically reduced the demand for solenoid valves globally as the transportation sector has come to a standstill. Moreover, the disruption in the demand and supply of solenoid valves has resulted in huge financial losses in the industry¸ leading to job losses and pay cuts.

Market Dynamics

Solenoid valves are used to control fluid flow automatically. They are increasingly being employed in a wide range of plants and equipment. In most industrial applications, solenoid valves are classified into five types: two-way solenoid valves, three-way solenoid valves, four-way solenoid valves, five-way valves, and others. Solenoid valves are typically used for on-off control. Small solenoid valves in stainless steel and Viton are offered for modulating control applications. Solenoids are often employed in locking mechanisms, and the range of locking applications is extensive. Door locking in hotels, offices, and secure areas, vending machines, remote access systems, turnstiles, and car park and access obstacles are all obvious applications.

Drivers

• Increasing Adoption of Solenoid Valves In Food & Beverages Industry

A solenoid valve is one of the most frequently applied valves in the market for food processing. Many solenoid valves are built to tolerate wet, corrosive environments as well as severe room temperatures. Because of the contaminant resistance of stainless steel, solenoid valves are often made of this material. For such reasons, solenoid valves are an excellent choice for food processing. Stainless steel solenoid valves are commonly found in the meat and abattoir industries, fish canneries, salting systems, ready meal manufacturing, and fruit and vegetable canneries. High-pressure solenoid valves made of stainless steel are also employed in salmon packaging lines, fish fillet preparation systems, and pasteurized systems.

A solenoid valve has a basic mechanic that allows it to turn on, turn off, release, dose, distribute, or mix fluids. They are most employed in the food industry to control the flow and direction of fluids, but they are also required for any activity that requires batch control, such as bottling facilities and canneries. The solenoid also powers pneumatic and hydraulic systems, flush systems, control cylinders, fluid power motors, and controls and powers bigger industrial valves. Solenoids can be found in practically any process operation that involves measurement, such as grouping and flow control, and are therefore critical, for example, in the processing of condiments, sauces, and ketchup into jars.

Opportunity

• Increasing Demand In Wastewater Treatment Industries

The increased adoption of solenoid valves in various process sectors, as well as the growing preference for more process automation, are the primary factors driving the solenoid valve market. These valves, for example, are widely employed in water treatment plants. They aid in the removal of organic contaminants from polluted water and serve a variety of additional purposes. As a result, demand for solenoid valves is likely to rise further in the coming years. The water treatment industry employs a wide range of solenoid valves, including valves made of plastic, brass, and stainless steel. They can be used for tank filling, as service valves on water softeners, piloting bigger actuated valves with air or water, and as a variety of equipment intake valves. The material used is determined by the application's needs and the working environment. While all three valve body materials are suitable for mains water use, application criteria such as ambient temperature, degree of exposure to shock or other physical effects need to be considered.

Certain industrial uses require water purity to meet or exceed potable drinking water quality standards. These are frequently continuous systems that treat enormous volumes of water at pressures ranging from 100 to 1,000 PSIG. Several membranes and passes can be employed to boost quality and decrease reject water volume depending on the needed water quality after treatment. The examples below are typical applications.
