An annual one of the pump valve exhibition will be held during the period from September 11-14, an international exhibition sponsored by international turbine laboratory and Texas A&M university, George brown convention and exhibition center exhibition venue located in Houston, four days of exhibition will be attracted professional audiences of more than 30000 people, more than 300 companies.

Valve is a key equipment of fluid control system and is generally used in liquid or gaseous fluid control environment. Therefore, valves are widely used in various industrial subdivisions involving fluid control. According to McIlvaine, total U.S. valve imports increased by 18.5 percent in 2016 compared with 2015, with oil pressure or air pressure valves growing by 52 percent and safety or relief valves growing by 34.5 percent. The United States imported more products are leading the main valve, cock and similar devices, hydraulic or pneumatic valve, safety or overflow valve, copper, the leading cock valve imports is higher than other material, the leading cock.

The exhibits the scope of the pump valve shows in the us including water pump, oil pump, vacuum pump, pressure pump, slurry pump, chemical pump, sewage pump, acid, corrosion resistant pump, centrifugal pump, metering pump, vortex pump, pneumatic pump, pipeline pump, air pump, magnetic pump, gear pump, screw pump, etc. In 2016, 360 pump valves and fluid machinery companies from over 40 countries in the world participated in the exhibition, with an exhibition area of 6,500 m2 and more than 20,000 professional audiences.

The global valve market is mainly concentrated in economically and industrially developed countries and regions. According to McIlvaine, the world's major consumers of valves will be China, the United States, Japan, Russia, India, Germany, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the United Kingdom by 2020. The top three Chinese, U.S. and Japanese industrial valves were $12.85 billion, $12.8 billion and $7.7 billion respectively. In terms of regional markets, east Asia, North America and Western Europe are now the largest market for valves in the world.
