By type, digital valve positioners to witness the highest growth amid rising automation and industry 4.0 adoption.
The digital valve positioner segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by its critical role in enabling precise control, real-time diagnostics, and advanced communication across a wide range of industrial applications. These positioners support accurate valve actuation and allow for remote configuration, predictive maintenance, and seamless integration with modern automation systems-making them central to smart industrial operations.
As industries increasingly embrace Industry 4.0 frameworks, digital positioners are being preferred for their compatibility with fieldbus protocols, cloud-based platforms, and asset management systems. This trend is particularly strong in sectors such as oil & gas, chemicals, water and wastewater, power generation, and pharmaceuticals, where efficiency, reliability, and safety are essential. Moreover, the rising focus on cybersecurity, remote accessibility, and centralized monitoring is accelerating the transition from traditional analog and pneumatic systems to intelligent digital valve solutions, supporting strong growth in the coming years.
By industry, the oil & gas segment captured major market share in 2024.
The oil & gas sector contributed the largest share of the valve positioner market in the year 2024, driven by its extensive use of valves in critical flow control applications across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Precise valve regulation and operational reliability are crucial in an industry where even minor inefficiencies can lead to significant safety risks or financial losses. Valve positioners are essential for controlling pressure, flow rate, and temperature in dynamic environments such as refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore rigs, and pipeline systems. With the growing complexity of energy infrastructure and increasing focus on process safety management (PSM), operators are integrating advanced valve positioning systems to ensure compliance with global safety and environmental standards. Furthermore, as oil & gas companies expand into deepwater, LNG, and unconventional resources, the demand for robust, high-performance valve positioners that can operate in extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive conditions continues to rise. The segment's dominance is also supported by long-term capital investments in automation upgrades, as companies seek to improve asset uptime and reduce manual intervention in remote or hazardous locations. The shift toward energy efficiency, emissions control, and digitally connected equipment in oil & gas operations reinforces the strategic importance of valve positioners in enhancing system performance and lifecycle management.
