Appropriate developments in utilities and infrastructure are essential for the long-term economic growth of any country. The gate valves market across the Middle East & Africa grabs promising opportunities from the continuously growing power sector in the region. Various countries are raising their investments in electricity generation. Valves play important roles in opening and closing inlets and outlets, and managing cooling circuits, among others, in power plants. Hence, as the number of power stations and capacity expands in the region, the demand for gate valves is expected to flourish in the coming years. The need for wastewater treatment facilities has risen across the Middle East & Africa due to the elevating concerns about untreated sewage. The best water treatment technologies and valves are used to build state-of-the-art treatment facilities. In water treatment plants, gate valves prevent water from flowing when the pumps are turned off. On the other hand, main air gate valves are mounted on the pumps installed at high points to prevent the formation of vacuum pockets. Hence, the growing number of water treatment facilities is likely to create significant opportunities for the gate valve vendors present in the Middle East & Africa.
Vendors in the MEA can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets by providing products enabled by new features and technologies. This is likely to drive the market to grow at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
