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.
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 have influenced the hydraulic valve market by increasing costs of imported steel components, precision machined parts, and electronic control elements. Electro hydraulic and high pressure valves are most affected, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe. Higher costs have impacted equipment manufacturers margins. At the same time, tariffs have supported local valve manufacturing and regional supply chains.
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 $6.62 billion in 2025 to $7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial machinery expansion, growth in oil and gas projects, mining equipment demand, construction sector growth, adoption of hydraulic automation.
The hydraulic valve market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in heavy equipment, growth in smart hydraulics, expansion of renewable energy projects, demand for energy efficient systems, industrial digitization. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of electro hydraulic valves, growing demand for high pressure valves, expansion of automated hydraulic systems, increasing use in industrial machinery, focus on precision flow control.
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.
Leading companies in the hydraulic valve market are focusing on integrating innovative technologies, such as electro-hydraulic valve systems, to improve performance and efficiency. Electro-hydraulic servo valves are electrically operated fluid valves that use an electrical signal to accurately control the movement of a valve spool, offering precise regulation of flow, pressure, position, and force, along with rapid response and stable dynamics. For example, in May 2024, Moog Inc., a US-based global designer and manufacturer of precision motion-control systems, launched the D93x servo-proportional valve series and the D92x proportional valve series. These electro-hydraulic valve solutions are designed to enhance machine reliability and reduce costs for machine builders, featuring proportional-solenoid-driven spool operation, high-flow or 4/4-way or 4/3-way functionality depending on the model, and improved resistance to vibration, temperature, and contamination. The new valve series enhances operational efficiency, control precision, and machine robustness, enabling end-users to achieve better cost management, consistent performance, and lower maintenance requirements.
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.
