The Global Unidirectional Knife Gate Valves Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021-2028. The growth in this market can be attributed to factors such as the increased demand for energy conservation and sustainability, owing to rising environmental concerns and increasing awareness among consumers about climate change.
Unidirectional knife gate valves are a type of metal-to-metal sealing valve that relies on the use of an elastomeric seal to prevent leakage. Unidirectional knife gate valves are a type of valve that is uni-directional, meaning it can only flow in one direction. The motion created by the blades on either side of the opening creates an even closure force across all sections and eliminates any pressure loss through other openings or areas where outgassing would occur. This offers increased safety for this product as well as lower maintenance needs over competitive products. The function of these valves is to allow only one direction to flow through them, which makes them ideal for applications where only one direction should be allowed such as in water or gas distribution networks and oil refineries.
On the basis of Type, the global unidirectional knife gate valves market is segmented into wafer type and lug type.
Wafer-type unidirectional knife gate valves are engineered with the use of a flat blade that is fixed to one side and biased against a wafer plate on the other. The movement of these blades causes them to open or close depending on direction, while still allowing only one-way flow through it. This design allows for easy installation as well as enhanced sealing capabilities compared to lug-type knives which expose both sides when opened. Wafer-type unidirectional knife gate valves are available in a range of sizes from 16mm to 400mm and cover pipe diameters ranging from less than 25 mm up to 50 cm, while lug type is only offered for smaller pipes.
Lug-type unidirectional knife gate valves are the most common type of this product. Lug-type valve has a simple design that consists of two sliding disks with one disk mounted on top and another below it in such a manner they can move together or in opposite directions; these knives have wide edges to cut through solids, which seals them off between nozzles on both sides when opened after passing through the flow direction. This configuration allows for single-direction cutting action without the need for any auxiliary equipment like clutches or reversing mechanisms.
On the basis of Application, the global unidirectional knife gate valves market is segmented into Commercial, Industrial, Others.
On the basis of Region, the global unidirectional knife gate valves market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is the leading region in this market; as it accounts for over half of the global unidirectional knife gate valves consumption share. The high level of industrialization has resulted in an increased need to regulate fluids by using valve technology such as unidirectional knives which makes them ideal for applications where only one direction should be allowed such as in water or gas distribution networks and oil refineries. The commercial segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to its increasing adoption among various end-user industries such as the food processing industry due to safety reasons. Latin America is estimated to dominate this market throughout the analysis period on account of plant construction activities in countries like Brazil and Colombia focused on hydrocarbon extraction activities coupled with an increasing demand for natural gas as a source of power generation.
-Rapid industrialization in the Asia Pacific and Latin American countries is driving the demand for unidirectional knife gate valves.
-The rising need to improve safety conditions by preventing leakage of fluids led to increased use of these knives which are more reliable than conventional plate-style valve designs.
-Increases in manufacturing activities due to higher global economic growth have also contributed towards market adoption, especially within developed regions such as North America and Europe.
- The growth of these markets across different regions can also be attributed to the growing demand for unidirectional knife gate valves in developing countries such as India and China.
