Hydraulics is a branch of science and engineering focused on utilizing liquids to generate, control, and transmit power. It involves using pressurized fluid within confined spaces to achieve tasks such as lifting heavy objects or controlling machinery. Hydraulic systems are widely employed across industries for their efficiency and versatility in power transmission.
The main product categories in hydraulics include hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic valves, hydraulic filters, and other related components. Hydraulic pumps are mechanical devices that convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by moving fluids, typically oil, within a hydraulic system. These systems find applications in various industries including construction, agriculture, automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, mining, marine, and others, catering to a diverse range of end-users such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket providers.

These hydraulics market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The hydraulics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $42.59 billion in 2024 to $44.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of hydraulic fluids, increasing use of hydraulic systems in the aerospace industry, demand for hydraulic systems in the marine industry, rise in the use of hydraulic systems in the oil and gas industry, growing demand for hydraulic systems in the manufacturing industry, and increasing use of hydraulic systems in the transportation industry.
The hydraulics market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government initiatives for infrastructure repair and modernization, demand for high-efficiency and high-performance hydraulic systems, urbanization and smart cities, significant investments in research and development, and focus on improving the lifespan and reliability of hydraulic components. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of hydraulic and electric systems in construction machinery, advanced simulation tools for designing and testing, development of high-pressure hydraulic systems, innovations aimed at reducing noise levels in hydraulic systems, and creating digital replicas of hydraulic systems.
The increasing number of infrastructure development projects is expected to drive the growth of the hydraulics market in the coming years. These projects are driven by factors such as rapid urbanization, economic growth, government initiatives, technological advancements, modernization, environmental concerns, globalization, population growth, private sector involvement, improved financing options, and resilience planning against natural disasters. Hydraulic technology plays a crucial role in infrastructure development, as it supports the construction, maintenance, and management of various structural projects. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported a 9.6% increase in total government investment in infrastructure in 2022 compared to 2021. Additionally, in 2022, the government's total infrastructure spending amounted to approximately $32.4 billion, with $24.1 billion from the federal government and $8.6 billion from local governments. As a result, the growth in infrastructure development projects is driving the hydraulics market.
Leading companies in the hydraulics market are focusing on developing innovative hydraulic components to enhance efficiency, reliability, and performance. Hydraulic components, including pumps, valves, and cylinders, are essential for transmitting power through fluid pressure. For instance, Danfoss, a Denmark-based manufacturing company, introduced the Danfoss H1F fixed displacement bent axis hydraulic motor in November 2023. This motor offers up to 95% overall efficiency and features a compact design suitable for both open- and closed-circuit applications, catering to agriculture, construction, and forestry machinery with high performance and reliability.
In February 2023, Bosch Rexroth, a Germany-based automation machinery manufacturing company, acquired HydraForce to strengthen its North American presence and expand its global compact hydraulics offerings for sustained growth. HydraForce Inc., a US-based industrial machinery manufacturing company, specializes in hydraulic control valves and mobile and industrial equipment solutions.
