Hydraulic Cylinders Market Expected to Reach $21.2 Billion by 2030

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Hydraulic Cylinders Market by Function, Design, and Bore Size: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030.”

 The global hydraulic cylinders market size was valued at $14.07 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $21.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2021 to 2030.

Hydraulic cylinders are mechanical equipment that offer linear movement for lifting heavy loads or handling bulky materials in industrial and mobile applications. These cylinders are used in construction, load lifting, and equipment handling machinery.

The growth of the global hydraulic cylinders market is driven by rise in the material handling equipment industry. Increase in new technologies, such as SGH wire-actuated encoders, which measure the cylinder stroke in the hydraulic cylinder, boost the demand for hydraulic cylinder globally. Growth in the construction equipment market is anticipated to provide potential opportunities for the key players operating in the market. However, hydraulic cylinders are expensive, and its maintenance & operation costs are very high. This factor restricts of the global hydraulic cylinders market growth. Rise in labor cost in construction and mining activities is expected to offer growth opportunities for the hydraulic cylinder market in the near future.

Several manufacturers in the global hydraulic cylinders stopped their business activities in 2020 due to lockdowns implemented in developed and developing countries, owing to ban on industrial activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This halt in production activities impacted the revenue of the hydraulic cylinders manufacturing companies. For instance, net sales of Enerpac Tool Group dropped by 24.2% from January 2020 to December 2020. In addition, lack of man power and raw materials affected the supply chain of the global market. However, the market is projected to cover from the first quarter of 2023, due to reduced restrictions and reopening of the global hydraulic cylinders industry. Moreover, in 2021, with the availability of vaccine against COVID-19, the market re-opened at full pace in a start of 2022.

The hydraulic cylinders market is segmented into function, design, bore size, and region. By function, the market is divided into single-acting hydraulic cylinders and double acting hydraulic cylinders. By design, it is classified into tie-rod cylinders and welded cylinders. By bore size, the market is categorized into less than 50mm, 51mm to 100mm, 101mm to 150mm, and greater than 151mm. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

On the basis of function, the double acting cylinders segment accounted for $8,920.4 million of the global hydraulic cylinder market in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The double acting cylinders are extensively used for lifting loads and handling materials in the construction sector, which boost their demand in the hydraulic cylinders market share.

On the basis of design, the welded cylinders segment is expected to account for the highest market share during the forecast period.

On the basis of bore size, the 51mm to 100mm segment is expected to account for the largest share in the global market during the forecast period owing to increase in use of material handling equipment in Asia-Pacific. This is attributed to the new hydraulic cylinders such as telescopic cylinder and plunger cylinder.

The key players operating in the hydraulic cylinders market include Actuant Corporation, Bosch Rexroth AG, Caterpillar Inc., Eaton Corporation Plc, Jarp Industries, Jiangsu Hengli Hydraulic Co., Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Texas Hydraulics, and Wipro Enterprises Limited., have adopted new product launch as their key strategy to expand their market foothold.
