Naval Actuators And Valves Market Analysis
The Naval Actuators And Valves Market size is estimated at USD 3.49 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 4.38 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.64% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
- The emergence of new technologies, such as high-performance radar and long-distance targeting systems, on the naval warfare front has driven nations to modernize and upgrade their naval capabilities. As actuators and valves form a critical part of all naval vessel subsystems, the induction of new naval vessels may create a parallel demand for actuators and valves to ensure systems performance as per the specifications.
- Stringent regulatory policies are expected to restrain the market's growth during the forecast period. The marine industry is heavily regulated, primarily because of the risks associated with marine activities.
- The increasing popularity of advanced integrated combat systems or the use of naval forces is expected to provide new opportunities for the market, which is anticipated to positively affect the market in focus during the upcoming period.
Naval Actuators And Valves Market Trends
Defense Segment is Expected to Dominate the Market
Due to the profound changes in the international strategic landscape, the configuration of the international security system has been undermined by the growing hegemonism, unilateralism, and power politics that have fueled several ongoing global conflicts. Military powerhouses, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and India, have been focused on augmenting their naval firepower, and several fleet modernization and procurement contracts are underway to address the evolving threats to their national security.
In 2022, the war between Russia and Ukraine further fueled the defense budgets across various countries and the need to reassess the operational readiness of the armed forces globally. The world military expenditure rose by 3.7% in 2022 from the previous year to reach a record high of USD 2.2 trillion. The Russia-Ukraine war was a major driver of the growth in spending in 2022. The five biggest spenders in 2022 were the United States, China, Russia, India, and Saudi Arabia, accounting for 63% of the global military spending.
According to its 30-year shipbuilding plan, the US envisions procuring 55 new ships to achieve an effective fleet size of 314 ships by 2024. In Asia-Pacific, prominent countries such as China and India are also enhancing their naval fleet size and capabilities to achieve technological superiority over their rival countries. Such induction programs are envisioned to drive the demand for actuators and valves in designing and constructing new naval vessels for defense platforms.

North America to Dominate the Market during the Forecast Period
The market is driven by the procurement of advanced weaponry by the US Navy to achieve military dominance in the region, besides ensuring internal peace and security. The United States has invested its vast technological prowess toward the indigenous development of several weapon systems to foster its military prowess over all dominion - land, air, and water.
In the FY2023 budget proposal, the US Navy proposed a total budget request of USD 230.8 billion, including USD 180.5 billion for the Navy and USD 50.3 billion for the Marine Corps. As part of the country’s naval expansion projects, the US Navy, in its FY2023 budget, proposed plans to modernize its fleet with the exclusion and inclusion of various warships and carrier fleets in the Navy. The USS Nimitz is to be removed from the battle force by the FY2025, gradually accepting the Gerald R Ford-class carriers to be inducted readily into the fleet of agile force.
The country caters to the demand from its military partners for advanced weaponry, such as guided rockets, ballistic missiles, armed UAVs, submarines, and surface warships. The program entails Serco providing repair and overhauls to the SubHDR Antenna Pedestal Group (APG), including evaluation and repair services to related sub-components. Such induction and MRO programs are envisioned to drive the demand for actuators and valves in the region to facilitate and enable seamless integration with other control systems installed in the fleet of naval vessels.
