A mechanical actuator that is utilized to provide a single-directional force through a bidirectional stroke is a hydraulic cylinder, also known as a linear hydraulic motor. It has a wide range of uses, including construction equipment, vehicles, industrial equipment, elevators, and structural engineering. A hydraulic cylinder is one of the four essential components of the hydraulic system, whilst a hydraulic system is a technique that uses fluid, most typically hydraulic oil, as its medium to transport energy from a motor to an actuator, most commonly a hydraulic cylinder. In order to raise or lower the boom, arm, or bucket, hydraulic cylinders are utilized in earth-moving machineries like excavators, backhoes, and loaders.

Hydraulic cylinders are also utilized in hydraulic bending machines, metal sheet shearing machines, and hot presses for manufacturing particle boards or plywood. The rising demand for the construction industry, which stimulates greater utilization of automated heavy construction trucks equipped with hydraulic cylinders for diverse tasks, is one of the primary reasons driving the hydraulic cylinder market. The growing use of equipment for handling materials in applications such as farming, building, and the mining process has raised the demand for the global hydraulic cylinder market. Furthermore, the growing demand for material handling machinery across industry sectors globally is a major driver of hydraulic cylinder market growth.

Driving Factors

The growing use of hydraulic cylinders in a variety of industries, including material handling, construction and infrastructure, marine, and earthmoving, is driving the hydraulic cylinder market expansion. Furthermore, government measures to boost reconstruction initiatives across economies have aided in the growth of demand for hydraulic cylinders, attributable to their rising popularity in the construction and material handling segments. In addition, rising agricultural automation throughout regions, particularly in APAC, and rising mining exploration operations generally have fueled the expansion of the hydraulic cylinder market.

The increasing economic growth and urbanization in developing nations such as Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and several other countries are boosting infrastructure development. The demand for construction equipment is expected to be driven by the numerous new infrastructure development plans and projects that are currently in progress, particularly in developing nations like China and India. These cylinders are designed to be used frequently for longer spans of time and offer resistance to deterioration, abrasion, severe temperatures, and weather changes. As a result of these benefits, the market for them in sectors such as construction has risen dramatically.

Restraining Factors        

However, international turmoil, insufficient automation skills, unpredictability, insufficient data gathering skills, frequent repairs, low operating efficiency, huge system footprint, and dependence on temperature are significant challenges limiting market revenue development.

Market Segmentation

By Industry Verticals Insights

The oil & gas segment accounted the largest revenue share of more than 37.2% over the forecast period.

On the basis of industry verticals, the global hydraulic cylinder market is segmented into automotive, marine, construction, aerospace, material handling, agriculture, mining, oil & gas, and others. Among these, oil & gas are dominating the market with the largest revenue share of 37.2% over the forecast period. Oil is essential by numerous industries for enhancing equipment performance as well as for the appropriate operation of industrial equipment in accurate high condition. Hydraulic cylinders are largely utilized in the oil and gas industry for oil rig drilling and fracking equipment, walking systems for land-based rigs, pipeline handling instruments, and other applications. A considerable investment in monitoring oil conditions is a key driver driving this segment's global revenue growth. Furthermore, the rising demands for inexpensive machinery maintenance solutions, as well as the increasing prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based technologies, have led to the expansion of the hydraulic cylinder market.

By Product Type Insights

The welded segment is witnessing significant CAGR growth over the forecast period.

On the basis of product type, the global hydraulic cylinder market is segmented into welded, tie rod, telescopic, and mill types. Among these, welded is witnessing significant CAGR growth over the forecast period. Welded hydraulic cylinders are used in a variety of industries, including construction, energy, oil and gas mining, waste and material handling, and heavy machinery. The increased use of welded hydraulic cylinders in these markets is likely to boost segment growth. Furthermore, rising demand for these cylinders due to their rapid distribution and low cost is likely to drive the hydraulic cylinder market growth throughout the forecast period.

By Function Insights

The double-acting segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

On the basis of function, the global hydraulic cylinder market is segmented into the double-acting and single-acting. Among these, the double-acting segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share of 68.3% over the forecast period. Double-acting hydraulic cylinders are used in huge-scale engines including naval engines, steam turbines, industrial combustion appliances, earthmoving equipment, and various construction machinery. Increased demand for the products in these applications is likely to drive the market for double-acting hydraulic cylinders throughout the period of forecasting.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific dominates the market with the largest market share over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is dominating the market with more than 36.4% market share over the forecast period. The rising need for related to agriculture, construction, and extractive machinery in this region is driving market expansion. Asia Pacific's biggest hydraulic cylinder markets are Japan and China. Leading automobile manufacturers and suppliers in Japan are being pressured by growing labor expenses and longer lead times due to labor-intensive processes. To address these issues, businesses are implementing automated and semi-automated material handling technologies. Furthermore, India's growing population is expected to stimulate the construction sector in the next years, which would drive the Asia Pacific hydraulic cylinder market expansion. Due to enormous capital expenditures in building operations and a growing number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), China's market accounted for the second-greatest revenue share.

North America, on the other hand, is predicted to develop the fastest during the projection period, owing to a greater emphasis on boosting economic growth rates through investments in infrastructure and building, energy & power, transportation, aviation, logistics, and shipping the manufacturing sector. Given the establishment of multiple machinery and equipment manufacturers in the country, the United States is one of the region's primary markets for hydraulic cylinders. Hydraulic cylinders help manufacturing machinery attain superior efficiency while drastically reducing downtime. The government's investments in the development of smart cities and commercial projects are also expected to boost the demand for the hydraulic cylinder market.
