This Frost & Sullivan research service titled South African Valves and Actuators
Market within the Chemicals and Petrochemicals Industry provides a focused
analysis of the valve and actuator market within the South African chemicals
industry from 2005 to 2015. The research also presents revenue forecasts, the

each valve and actuator product type listed in the research service. In this
research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following
technologies: on/off valves, control valves and actuators. 

Market Overview 

Massive Capital Expenditure Projects within the Petrochemicals Industry to Spur
Uptake of Valves and Actuators in South Africa 

Despite the impacts of the global financial crisis, including expenditure
tightening, a few leading end-user companies within the petrochemicals industry
in South Africa are continuing to implement planned capital expenditure projects
with the objective of boosting production capacity to match the anticipated
increase in demand for chemicals and petrochemicals. Such sizeable capital
expenditure projects are set to contribute to a steady growth in demand for
valves and actuators in South Africa from 2010 to 2015. 

"Leading chemicals and petrochemicals companies such as SASOL and PetroSA are
going forward with their capital expenditure programmes to increase production
capacity, despite the global financial crisis," notes research analyst, James
Fungai Maposa. "Implementation of these projects is expected to contribute to a
higher demand for valve and actuator products within the sector." In addition to
the construction of new plants and refineries, challenges such as energy
shortages and stricter environmental concerns are other factors that have
prompted end users within the sector to upgrade their existing facilities to
reduce energy consumption and conserve the environment. Part of the upgrade
activity will include the replacing of obsolete valves and actuators with
automation compatible valve and actuator products. The plant upgrades are,
therefore, expected to contribute to revenue growth of the valves and actuators
market within the petrochemicals industry until 2015.
