Industrial valves are mechanical devices that are used to regulate, monitor, and control the flow of fluid in an industrial facility. Valves operate by opening, closing or partially blocking passage ways to allow movement of fluids from a direction of high pressure to

low pressure or vice versa. Valves are used across several discrete and process industries for transporting fluids between two points within an enclosed system.Among the end-users of industrial valves, the oil and gas industry is the major shareholder in terms of revenue due to the criticality of operations and requirement of devices for movement of fluids from one subprocess to another.The oil and gas industry is one of the major end-users of industrial valves. The industry contributes a significant share in terms of the overall market revenue. Owing to the criticality of processes carried out in the oil and gas sector and the need to transport

fluids from one stage of the process to another, industrial valves find increased applications in this sector. The industrial valves ensure smooth operations by regulating and controlling the movement of fluids.Increased exploration and production activities are being witnessed in North America,the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and APAC. These activities contribute largely to the steady market growth. In 2016, EMEA dominated the global industrial valves market in oil and gas industry by accounting for 59.31% share of the overall market revenue. The Americas and APAC are the other shareholders of the market, with APAC projected to record the highest CAGR among all regions globally.

Industrial valves are mechanical devices that are used to regulate, monitor, and control the flow of fluids in an industrial facility. Valves operated by opening,closing, or partially blocking passage ways to allow movement of fluids from a direction of high pressure to low pressure, or vice-versa. Valves are used across several discrete and process industries for transporting fluids between two points

within an enclosed system.Actuators are devices used to manually/automatically control the movement and action of valves. Based on the type of valves, they are used for the desired action.Automatic actuators can be pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric. Manually operated

actuators have been excluded from the scope of this report.

An industrial shredder can shred all kinds of materials such as tires, car wrecks,metals, plastics, wood, and garbage. However, the shredding process depends on the machine's design and size. Shredders are available in numerous sizes and designs.Design variations include horizontal hammer mills; vertical hammer mills; slow speed and shear type shredders of single, dual, triple and quad shaft design. It also includes shaft grinders of single or dual-shaft design; knife hogs; granulators; raspers; flails;mawlers; cracker mills; and refining mills.

Industrial safety glove is a form of personal protective equipment that protects the whole hand from hazards and injuries in an industrial ecosystem. It is used for protection from heat, cold, abrasions, impacts, chemical reactions, and injuries.Various materials are used to produce gloves, namely, rubber, nitrile, vinyl,neoprene, and polyethylene. Based on the requirement and necessity, the appropriate glove material is chosen. These gloves have different characteristics such as cut resistant, heat resistant, firefighting, anti-flash, and leather.The report includes commercial gloves as a part of the industrial safety glove market.

Industrial robots can be classified into many types such as material handling, welding,assembling, painting, and for other purposes based on their area of application. Major demand will increase from companies in sectors such as automotive, electrical and electronics, chemicals, food and beverages (F&B), and industrial machinery.For the implementation of industrial robots, companies across industries opt for services provided by manufacturers, system integrators, as well as third-party consultants to ensure that robots are seamlessly integrated into their existing systems after a feasibility study. The services provided by vendors include engineering,programming, system integration, installation, and commissioning services. Other services discussed in the report include maintenance, repair, upgrades, retrofits, and refurbishment.To ensure efficiency in industrial robotics services, robot manufacturers and system integrators are taking initiatives to innovate the delivery of services by capitalizing on technological improvements such as Internet of Things (IoT) and software platforms.Software platforms are majorly being implemented for improvement in commissioning and programming of industrial robots, with trends like virtual commissioning expected to propel the market toward growth. Leading vendors such as ABB and KUKA are investing in improving their training sessions through different modes and hiring technical specialists with expertise in robotics, and its implementation to ensure that new customers are acquired, and old customers are retained. As the market for industrial robots gains ground, vendors will introduce new methods for preventive maintenance, remote monitoring, life cycle assessment, inspection and diagnostics,along with refurbishment and replacement services.

Process recorders are used for continuous monitoring of system maintenance, process parameters, and process optimization of industrial applications. These recorders accept analog inputs from multiple devices. The input data are then accessed and analyzed through communication protocols for real-time and FTP uploads. Analyzed data are then converted into digital signals with data converters. New technological advancements such as fuzzy logic have increased the data storage capacity of recorders.

Industrial monitors are widely used in a variety of industrial applications such as smart factories, mining operations, marine ports, food and beverage, oil rigs, and energy management. The ruggedness of industrial display differentiates these monitors from residential and commercial monitors. Industrial monitors are usually made of rugged materials to withstand the impact of harsh environments in both indoor and outdoor applications.

The lighting industry includes general lighting, automotive lighting, and backlighting.The general lighting market is the major revenue-generating segment, followed by automotive lighting and backlighting. The general lighting market includes lighting applications for residential, industrial, commercial, outdoor, and architectural purposes.The residential and commercial segments are the major drivers for the general lighting market. General lighting can be either traditional or LED lighting. Traditional lighting is categorized into linear fluorescent lamps (LFLs), compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs),and others which include incandescent bulbs, halogens, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights. The traditional lighting market will observe a decline in sales due to the rising popularity of LED technology.
