A hydraulic valve is a mechanical component that controls the flow, direction, and pressure of hydraulic fluid within a system. It regulates fluid movement to different parts of the system, ensuring efficient and safe operation. By managing the flow rate, pressure, and direction of the fluid, a hydraulic valve plays a crucial role in the overall performance and functionality of the hydraulic system.
The main types of hydraulic valves include directional, flow, pressure, electro-hydraulic, and others. A directional hydraulic valve is used to control the direction of hydraulic fluid flow within the system, determining when the fluid starts, stops, and changes direction. These valves can be automated or manual and are manufactured from materials such as steel, iron, and others. They are available in various pressure ranges, including low, medium, high, and ultra-high pressure, and are utilized by industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater, power, mining, and more.
The hydraulic valve market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hydraulic valve market statistics, including hydraulic valve industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a hydraulic valve market share, detailed hydraulic valve market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hydraulic valve industry. This hydraulic valve market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The hydraulic valve market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.27 billion in 2024 to $6.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to government investments in industrial automation, the development of smart cities and urban infrastructure, expansion of the marine and offshore industries, a resurgence in the steel and metal production sector, and growth in the automotive and transportation sectors.
The hydraulic valve market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.19 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of manufacturing industries, an increase in construction and infrastructure projects, rising demand for mining operations, a surge in oil and gas exploration activities, and the growth of water and wastewater treatment plants. Key trends during this period include the development of electro-hydraulic valves, integration of IoT and smart valve systems, automation in fluid control systems, the emergence of predictive maintenance technologies, and advancements in valve materials and sealing technologies.
The hydraulic valve market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, propelled by the expansion of the construction sector. This sector encompasses the planning, designing, building, and maintenance of infrastructure projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Growth in construction is driven by substantial government spending on infrastructure, such as roads, railways, and renewable energy initiatives, which in turn stimulate economic growth and job creation. Hydraulic valves play a crucial role in construction by controlling the movement of heavy machinery, ensuring precise and safe operation of equipment like cranes and excavators that rely on hydraulic systems for tasks such as lifting and digging. For example, a report from the US Census Bureau in May 2025 highlighted that total US construction spending for Q1 2025 reached $485.7 billion, a 2.9% (+-1.0%) increase compared to $472.2 billion during the same period in 2024. Thus, the expansion of the construction sector is expected to boost demand for hydraulic valves.
Key players in the hydraulic valve market are focusing on innovation by developing advanced products like cartridge valves capable of handling high-pressure applications. Cartridge valves are compact, self-contained units inserted into cavities or housings to regulate the flow, pressure, or direction of hydraulic fluid within systems. For instance, in September 2022, Helios Technologies Inc., a US-based industrial technology firm, launched ENERGEN a pioneering cartridge valve that generates electricity from hydraulic fluid flow. This unique solution harnesses wasted hydraulic energy to produce electrical power, supporting the rising number of electrical applications in mobile equipment. Powered by an integrated generator, ENERGEN converts unused energy into electricity that can power control electronics such as solenoid valves and sensors or recharge system batteries. This innovation enables electrical functionality in applications where traditional power sources are insufficient or wiring is impractical.
In May 2023, Hawle Austria Group, an Austria-based manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty valves, acquired the valve manufacturing division of McWane India for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Hawle's presence in India, a key growth market, allowing the company to maintain its workforce and focus on expanding regional operations. McWane India is a local manufacturer of hydraulic valves.
