In 2025, the global Trunnion Ball Valves market is showing a steady upward trend. According to the latest data released by industry research institutions, the market size of this segment was about USD 1.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to exceed USD 2.9 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 5.8%. This growth is mainly driven by the recovery of investment in the oil and gas industry, as well as the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects worldwide.
Unlike Floating Ball Valve, Trunnion Ball Valve uses an upper and lower bearing fixed ball structure, which can maintain stable sealing performance under high-pressure conditions. Therefore, it is widely used in large oil pipelines, offshore drilling platforms, and high-temperature steam systems. Recently, the approval process for subsea oil and gas development projects in countries such as the United States and Canada has accelerated, further driving demand for ANSI Ball Valve and Trunnion Ball Valves.
For Chinese Ball Valve Manufacturer, this market trend sends two key signals:
Export opportunities: The North American market has growing demand for valves that meet ANSI standards, especially stainless steel and carbon steel ball valves with pressure ratings from 150LB to 2500LB.
Technological upgrades: Customers increasingly value international certifications such as API, ISO, and ANSI, which means that product technology and production processes must align with international standards.
Industry analysts point out that the period from 2025 to 2028 will be a critical window for Chinese manufacturers to expand into the North American and Middle Eastern markets. Especially under the background of carbon neutrality transition in the oil and gas industry, some LNG and hydrogen energy projects are beginning to adopt materials with higher corrosion resistance, such as duplex stainless steel and nickel-based alloys. This poses higher technical requirements for valve manufacturing enterprises.
To seize this wave of market opportunities, it is recommended that enterprises highlight the following advantages in marketing and promotion:
A full range of ball valve products with ANSI / API certification;
The technical highlights of Trunnion Ball Valve in high-pressure sealing and low-torque operation;
Comprehensive factory quality control and third-party inspections (such as BV and CCIC);
Successful application cases (such as Middle East LNG projects and North American oil pipeline projects).
