Executive Summary
Vacuum valve directs the flow of fluid to create a vacuum and generally operated inside machinery which uses gauges or switches in order to control the pressure inside the valve. Vacuum is created by controlling the intake of air on one end of the valve and closing it off from being released elsewhere.

There are four major types of vacuum valves: gate valve, butterfly valve, angle valve and ball valves.

The global vacuum valve market has increased at a significant CAGR during the years 2012 to 2015 and projections are made that the market would rise in the next four years i.e. 2016 to 2020 tremendously. The vacuum valve market is expected to increase due to technological advancements, advanced packaging technologies, growing semiconductor industry and increasing use of valves in display technologies such as FPD and LED.

Yet the market faces some challenges such as, barrier to new market entrants, increase in raw material pricing, increasing semiconductor node shrink and slow growth of OLED display market.
