Cryogenic Valve Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Type (Gate, Globe, Ball, Butterfly, Others), By Application (Transfer Lines, Manifolds & Gas Trains, Tanks & Cold Boxes, Others), By End-User (Oil & Gas, Chemical, Food and Beverage, Others) and Geography Forecast till 2026

Whether in the production of materials such as steel, cement, and composites or the manufacture of value-added products such as electronics, computer chips, cosmetics, and textiles, valve technologies is a for critical manufacturing step throughout the industry. Valve technologies represent a significant opportunity to improve industrial productivity, energy efficiency, and global competitiveness.

Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow and pressure within a system or process. They are essential components of a piping system that conveys liquids, gases, vapors, slurries, etc. Functions of valves are: stopping and starting the flow, reduce or increase a flow, controlling the direction of flow, regulating a flow or process pressure, and relieve a pipe system of a certain pressure. Cryogenic valves are used for fluids which have a temperature below 123 kelvins.
