Fluid control equipment industry is highly fragmented catering to many industries like petroleum, chemical, industrial, power generation and water. Pumps are a major segment of the industry, growing on a normalized basis at 3-5%, out of which industrial pumps have a strong hold on the market. Valve demand in the energy production sector will benefit from an increase in primary energy consumption in mature markets like North America as well as in developing markets such as Latin America. The North America, Western Europe and the Asia Pacific regions consist of the most mature markets for valves.

Many European countries are driving the growth in the heat pump sector. Most significant growth is found in the larger markets of Italy, France, Norway, Finland, and Austria. In European markets, this industry has a strong presence; though performance in United States and Asian markets is also remarkable.

There are many players in the market contributing a small share in each segment. Industry demand is growing in accordance with other factors such as shifting population from rural to urban areas, need for clean water, emerging markets and rising raw material prices. These factors affect the growth of the fluid control equipment industry. Changes in regulations have also given a new turn to the industry.
