The report looks at market segmentations based on end-users in the food and beverage industry, healthcare industry, water and wastewater industry, chemical industry, and other. It also segments for geography into Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific (APAC), and the Americas.

During the forecast period, the deployment of pinch valves is expected to increase due to these new projects.”
