Gate valve market
The global gate valve market is poised for steady growth through 2035, driven by industrial automation, advances in material handling, and increasing demand in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries.
According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at $2.0 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $2.6 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7%.
The FMI report, “Slide Gate Valves Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025-2035,” projects global revenue to grow by $619.2 million over the decade, driven by automation integration and efficiencies in processing plants across various industries.
A decade of growth anchored by automation and materials innovation:
The shift toward pneumatic and electric actuators coupled with advanced materials such as stainless steel is redefining the dynamics of flow control. Between 2025 and 2030, the gate valve market will grow by $286 million, driven by modernization in the food and chemical sectors.
Between 2030 and 2035, FMI forecasts additional market growth of $333 million, driven by greater adoption of smart monitoring systems and sustainable manufacturing practices.
“Automation is no longer optional – it is the backbone of efficient material handling in mass-produced industries,” said an FMI research analyst. “Pneumatic and electrical innovations reduce downtime while enabling precise, real-time control.”
