by Marine actuators and valves are components used in marine vessels for controlling fluid flow and isolating equipment. The valves facilitate sealing, control or directing the flow of fluids by opening, closing or partially obstructing various passageways. Actuators are electro-mechanical devices used to automate or remote control the operation of valves. Marine actuators and valves are critical to marine applications as they regulate fluid flow and perform operations in engine rooms, ballast systems and fuel systems of ships. The growing maritime trade and adoption of intelligent valves are propelling the demand for marine actuators and valves.
The Global Marine Actuators and Valves Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4391.56 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
