The overall Actuator market in 2017 generated a revenue of about $36.63 billion. The Automobile industry was one of the major contributors to the revenue generated. The APAC region held the highest market share in the overall market, generating a revenue of about $11.96 billion in 2017. Growing economy in the APAC region such as China, India, Taiwan and so on, is one of the major driving factors for this market. The revenue generated by global positioner market in 2017 is about $1.24 billion. APAC occupies the highest market share, contributing to about 33.38% of overall Positioner market share. 

The major applications of Valves are in Oil & Gas industry, Power Generation, Water & Waste Water Treatment, Chemicals, Automobile, Aerospace, Mining and Marine industries. The Industries where Valves are extensively used can be divided into two segments- Commercial Sector and Industrial Sector. In the commercial sector, Aerospace industry is one of the leading segment and is expected to reach $2.31 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 1.28%. The Automobile industry is one of the largest consumers of Valves in the Commercial sector and is expected to reach $3.16 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 7.38%. The increase in disposable income and lifestyle of consumers will drive the need for new vehicles manufactured. Hence, demand for Valves, which are used in Control applications in automobiles, will increase. For the Industrial sector, Valves used in Power Plants is expected to reach $8.05 billion by 2024 growing at the rate of 5.29%. Solar PV power generation is one of the new industries and is in its growth stage. 

Actuators in the Chemical Industry occupied the major market share totaling $8.67 billion in 2017 and are growing at a CAGR of 5.06% to reach $12.49 billion by 2024 

The Positioners market in Power industry generated a revenue of $0.16 billion in 2017, growing with CAGR of 5.9% and is estimated to generate a revenue of $0.25 billion by 2024. Pneumatic Positioners occupied the second highest market share generating a revenue of $0.34 billion in 2017, Electro-Pneumatic Positioners generated highest market revenue of $0.57 billion. Pneumatic and Electro-Pneumatic positioners are growing with a CAGR of 3.60% and 5.02% respectively. 

• Increasing R&D Developments in the Chemical industry and new applications of synthetic products is driving the Actuators market.

• In the past few decades, the number of industries and players in each industry has increased substantially, demanding huge amount of power. Coping with the scarcity of power, the governments of various countries like the U.K, South Africa, Japan, America and others are taking initiatives to increase the capacity of existing power plants and have sanctioned projects to construct new power plants. As these power plants drive the use of valves and actuators, which in turn drive the VAP market growth.  

• The increasing demand for valves, actuators and positioners in the chemical and nuclear power industry to monitor the leakage of harmful chemicals and radiative materials results in the rising demand and growth of  the VAP Market.
