Smart PRV pilot valve market seen reaching $3.25B by 2030

The smart pressure reducing valve pilot valve market is projected to grow from $2.12 billion in 2025 to $3.25 billion by 2030, according to The Business Research Company. Demand is being driven by industrial automation, wastewater management and infrastructure spending, with Asia-Pacific the largest and fastest-growing region.

Why it matters: - Smart pressure reducing valve pilot valves help industrial, water and wastewater systems maintain stable pressure, reduce leaks and support remote control. - The market’s growth points to broader spending on automation, smart water networks and pressure-optimized infrastructure.

What happened: - The Business Research Company projected the smart pressure reducing valve pilot valve market would rise from $2.12 billion in 2025 to $2.31 billion in 2026. - The report said the market is on track to reach $3.25 billion by 2030. - The company released the forecast in its report, Smart Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Pilot Valve Market Report 2026 – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2026-2035. - The report was dated July 7, 2026. - Download the sample report. - View the full market report.

The details: - The market was valued at $2.12 billion in 2025. - The report forecast a 2025-2026 compound annual growth rate of 8.8%. - The report forecast a 2030 compound annual growth rate of 9.0%. - The report linked near-term growth to smart water management, leakage reduction, remote monitoring, smart city infrastructure, predictive maintenance, automated flow control and energy efficiency. - The report identified AI-driven adaptive pressure regulation, IoT-enabled pressure monitoring, sensor-integrated pilot valves, cloud-connected smart valves and cybersecurity-enhanced digital control systems as key trends. - A smart PRV pilot valve uses integrated sensors and controllers to sustain stable downstream pressure. - Smart PRV pilot valves also support monitoring, diagnostics and remote operation. - The report said expanding industrial automation is a major growth driver. - The report said wastewater management demand is also supporting the market. - The report said infrastructure investment is adding momentum. - The report said Asia-Pacific was the largest market in 2025 and is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. - The report also covered South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America and the Middle East and Africa.

Between the lines: - The forecast ties the valve market to a wider shift toward digitized utility and industrial systems. - The emphasis on remote monitoring and predictive maintenance suggests buyers are looking to cut labor, improve reliability and catch failures earlier. - The inclusion of cybersecurity as a trend reflects growing concern about connected control systems in critical infrastructure. - The report used industrial robot installation growth in the U.S. and rising wastewater system counts in Ireland as examples of the broader automation and water-management backdrop. - The report also cited UK infrastructure investment of £20.3 billion ($23.64 billion) in 2024, up 16.9% from 2023, as support for the market thesis.

What's next: - The report expects smart PRV pilot valve makers to focus on AI-based regulation, connected monitoring and cloud-managed control systems. - Growth should stay strongest where utilities and industry are upgrading water networks, wastewater systems and automation infrastructure. - The company said its 2026 reports add market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrices, forecasting dashboards and market-hotspot graphics.

The bottom line: - Smart PRV pilot valves are moving from niche controls to a bigger role in connected, efficiency-focused fluid systems.
