Hydraulic Equipment Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Mobile, and Industrial), By Component (Motors, Pumps, Cylinders, Valves, Filters, Accumulators, Transmissions, and Others) By Sensors (Tilt, Position, Pressure, Temperature, Level, and Flow) and By End-User (Construction, Agriculture, Agriculture, Material Handling, Mining, Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, Marine, Metal & Machinery Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, and Others) Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Hydraulic equipment market is projected to grow from $43.8 billion in 2024 to $65.0 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period (2025-2035). The global demand for hydraulic systems is increasing owing to infrastructure development, industrial automation, agriculture mechanization, and defense and aerospace applications, driven by increased military spending and advancements in aircraft hydraulics.
Market Dynamics
Technological Advancements
Technological advancements, including telematics integration, improved hydraulic system designs, and noise/vibration reduction technologies, are driving market growth in hydraulic machinery. For instance, in December 2024, L&T Construction & Mining Machinery and Komatsu launched the Komatsu PC35MR-3 Mini Hydraulic Excavator, offering economical and sustainable solutions for the Indian construction industry. The compact, fuel-efficient machine is ideal for precise work in confined spaces, reducing operational costs and manual labor. Its low maintenance cost and low noise levels reflect L&T and Komatsu's commitment to sustainability.
Growing Construction Industry Demand via Government Infrastructure Development
The growth of the construction sector, fueled by government investment in infrastructure projects, is driving the need for construction hydraulics in a range of applications, including excavators, loaders, cranes, bulldozers, backhoes, and other heavy earthmoving, material handling, demolition, and road construction equipment. This positive trend in demand closely follows increasing construction expenditure. According to the International Factoring Association, in November 2024, construction spending consistently increased, reaching an annual rate of $2.1 trillion, a 4.1% rise compared to 2023. In the first eight months, expenditures amounted to $1.43 trillion, a 7.6% increase from the $1.33 trillion in the same period last year. Private construction continues to dominate with an annual total of approximately $1.64 trillion, while residential spending slightly declined due to higher mortgage rates, around $900 billion. Non-residential spending rose by 3.6%, driven by demand for healthcare, educational facilities, and infrastructure. Public construction, particularly in highways, educational facilities, and public safety projects, increased by nearly 7.8%, reflecting a focus on infrastructure development.
Market Segmentation
Pressure Sensor: A Key Segment in Market Growth
A pressure sensor calculates the pressure force of a fluid on the surface and converts and senses pressure into an electric signal. Pressure sensors are used for monitoring, control, and safety in many industries such as industrial automation, automotive, medical devices, consumer products, and aerospace and aviation. Pressure sensors monitor the pressure in pipelines and tanks, manufacturing processes, and tire pressure, and regulate engine oil, fuel, and air intake. Pressure sensors play a vital role in hydraulic systems to monitor system pressure, prevent overpressure, initiate safety mechanisms, maximize performance, predict maintenance, provide the best hydraulic fluid pressure, and avoid equipment failure. The increasing use of hydraulic systems in construction, agriculture, and mining machinery is boosting the need for advanced pressure sensors for system efficiency and safety. For instance, in May 2024, Parker Hannifin launched the SCP09 pressure sensor, a reliable and versatile solution for hydraulic applications. This sensor is designed for accurate pressure measurement in various conditions, making it suitable for mobile machinery and industrial hydraulic applications. The pressure range of 10 to 600 bar allows for seamless integration into existing systems and production processes, with a pin configuration specifically designed for OEM use.
The global hydraulic equipment market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Digitalization & Automation in Oilfield Services in North America
The growing need for automation in oilfield services is prompting companies to adopt AI-driven platforms to minimize human error, enhance design precision, and enhance operational efficiency. For instance, in February 2025, Halliburton and Coterra introduced autonomous hydraulic fracturing technology in North America, allowing Coterra to fully automate hydraulic design and execution. The service, part of Halliburton's Zeus platform, increased stage efficiency by 17%, subsequently deploying it to other completion programs.
Asia-Pacific Region Dominates the Market with Major Share
Asia-Pacific holds a significant share, owing to the expansion of the hydraulic equipment market, which is largely driven by the increased automation of manufacturing processes and the growing demand for hydraulic-powered systems in different industries. These are construction, automotive, aerospace, agriculture, mining, and material handling since all rely heavily on robust and efficient hydraulic components. As a result of this growing demand, manufacturers are increasing their capacity and investing in sophisticated hydraulic solutions. For instance, in September 2024, Goodluck India Ltd opened a hydraulic tube manufacturing facility in Bulandshahar, Sikandrabad, with an investment of INR 200 crore. The plant has a production capacity of 50,000 MT and serves various sectors, including construction machinery and light commercial vehicles. This project, financed entirely through internal funds, aims to improve profit margins by offering a premium product that reduces reliance on seamless tube imports.
The major companies operating in the global hydraulic equipment market include Continental AG, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Renesas Electronics Corp., Robert Bosch GmbH, and ZF Friedrichshafen AG, among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
