Fluid power equipment refers to industrial machinery or components that use fluids such as liquids or gases to transmit power. These components control, generate, and transmit power, producing high pressure and force in compact volumes. Fluid power equipment is employed to push, lift, rotate, pull, or grip almost any load.
The primary types of fluid power equipment are hydraulic and pneumatic hydraulics. Hydraulic systems involve the transmission of power through the controlled circulation of a pressurized fluid, often a water-soluble oil or water-glycol mixture, to a motor that converts it into a mechanical output capable of performing work on a load. This technology is widely used in various product types, including pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, filters, accumulators, and others. These fluid power components find applications across diverse industries such as construction, automotive, oil and gas, food processing, packaging, semiconductors, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the fluid power equipment market by increasing the cost of imported hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, pneumatic actuators, and precision-machined components. Construction, automotive, and oil and gas sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-performance fluid power systems, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on exports. These tariffs are raising equipment procurement costs and impacting project budgets. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional component sourcing, and development of modular fluid power systems to reduce import dependency.
The fluid power equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides fluid power equipment market statistics, including fluid power equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a fluid power equipment market share, detailed fluid power equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the fluid power equipment industry. This fluid power equipment 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 fluid power equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $34.37 billion in 2025 to $36.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of industrial automation, growth in construction equipment usage, increasing demand for heavy machinery, rising adoption of hydraulic systems in manufacturing, availability of standardized fluid power components.
The fluid power equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $49.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart factories, rising demand for predictive maintenance solutions, expansion of electric-hydraulic hybrid systems, growing focus on energy optimization, increasing integration with digital control platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of smart hydraulic and pneumatic systems, rising demand for energy-efficient fluid power solutions, growing integration of condition monitoring technologies, expansion of compact high-pressure components, enhanced focus on system reliability.
The rising construction activities are anticipated to drive the growth of the fluid power equipment market in the coming years. Construction activities encompass the physical processes and tasks involved in creating structures, infrastructure, or facilities. Fluid power equipment is utilized in construction to operate hydraulic systems that power heavy machinery, ensuring efficient and precise operations on construction sites. For example, in February 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that construction spending in the United States reached $2,154.4 billion in 2024, representing a 6.5 percent (+-1.0 percent) increase over the $2,023.7 billion spent in 2023. Hence, the growth in construction activities is fueling the fluid power equipment market.
Key players in the fluid power equipment market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions such as direct-acting valve designs for hydraulic systems to enhance energy efficiency, precision, and response speed in both industrial and mobile machinery. Direct-acting valve designs operate by moving the spool directly via an electrical or mechanical signal, rather than relying on a pilot-operated mechanism, enabling faster and more reliable control of hydraulic fluid. For instance, in September 2025, HydraForce Inc., a U.S.-based fluid power solutions company, introduced its HST38 and HST34 high-performance directional valves. These valves offer compact designs, high-flow capacity, proportional control, and rapid response times; they direct hydraulic fluid precisely to actuators based on electrical signals, integrate effectively with electro-hydraulic systems, and provide configurable control settings. Notable features include enhanced durability, minimal leakage, and compatibility with various fluid types. Their applications cover mobile equipment, construction machinery, agriculture, and industrial automation, delivering benefits such as improved machine efficiency, precise motion control, reduced energy consumption, and extended service life.
In May 2023, Fluid System Components, Inc. (FSC), a US-based manufacturer and distributor of fluid power systems for logging, forestry, construction, and firefighting equipment, acquired Norcan Fluid Power for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows Fluid System Components, Inc. to enhance its product range and expertise in fluid power systems, expanding its market reach and customer base. Norcan Fluid Power, a Canada-based company, specializes in providing hydraulics, pneumatic and electric panels, manifolds, and complete power unit systems.
