Panoramic Insight into the Electromagnetic Valve Industry
Market Size
Electromagnetic valves are widely used, covering multiple fields such as industrial automation, fluid control, automotive, medical, etc. The market size of the automotive solenoid valve industry will reach 10.397 billion yuan in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 6.18%. The global market size of pilot operated solenoid valves is expected to reach approximately $926 million in 2024 and $1.411 billion in 2031, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.3% from 2025 to 2031. The Chinese solenoid valve market is also expected to grow steadily, with an estimated size of 18.7 billion yuan by 2030, up from 8.5 billion yuan in 2025.
Competitive landscape
The global solenoid valve market is fiercely competitive, with multinational corporations controlling approximately 70% of the high-end market through patent barriers. However, domestic manufacturers are also constantly making progress, with the advantages of servo control algorithms and large-scale production, their market share has increased. In the field of pilot operated solenoid valves, the mid to high end market is still dominated by international brands, and domestic manufacturers have gaps in stability and precision control.
Technological development
Intelligence and material innovation are the core directions, and the market share of intelligent solenoid valves is expected to increase from 18% in 2025 to 35% in 2030. Digital twin technology can shorten the research and development cycle by 30%. The trend towards integration and modularization is evident, with the integration of solenoid valves with sensors and controllers continuously improving. In addition, in order to adapt to different application scenarios, such as food and pharmaceutical grade solenoid valves, valve body materials and sealing technology are constantly improving. The permeability of 316L stainless steel has been increased, and the application of fluororubber and PTFE composite materials has extended the product life.
Development trend
On the one hand, with the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the development of emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, smart homes, environmental protection equipment, etc., the application of solenoid valves in these fields will continue to increase. On the other hand, environmental protection and sustainable development have become important trends, and enterprises need to pay attention to the environmental performance and energy-saving and emission reduction effects of their products. At the same time, market demand is becoming more diversified, and the premium space for customized products continues to expand.
Regional distribution
The Asia Pacific region is the largest market for solenoid valves, with an expected market share of 42.3% by 2025, with the Chinese market contributing over 60%. The North American and European markets maintain technological leadership in the high-end solenoid valve field with mature industrial foundations, with market shares of 28.5% and 19.2% respectively in 2025.
