Hydraulic Cylinder Market by Function (Single Acting, Double Acting), Specification (Telescopic, Tie Rod, Mill Type, Welded), Application (Mobile and Industrial), Bore size, Industry, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023

The hydraulic cylinder market was valued at USD 12.98 Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 19.30 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.95% between 2017 and 2023. The base year considered for the study is 2016, and the forecast period is between 2017 and 2023.

The growth in new and retrofit infrastructure after the recession has boosted the construction industry heavily. With new development plans and projects, the use of construction equipment is also growing. In the construction industry, hydraulic cylinders are used in equipment such as backhoes, excavators, trenchers, road construction planers, grinder and concrete or asphalt laying machines, concrete cutting saws, dozers, motor graders, dumpers, and skid steers. The hydraulic cylinder is capable of withstanding corrosive and abrasive environments, and extreme temperature and weather changes. Also, it can be used continuously for long periods. These advantages offered by hydraulic cylinders have increased their demand in the construction industry.

The hydraulic cylinder market is expected to be valued at USD 13.64 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 19.30 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.95% between 2017 and 2023. The key factor driving the growth of the hydraulic cylinder market is their rising demand in the construction industry and mining process equipment. Increasing demand for lifting equipment in the shipping industry and for material handling equipment in the aerospace & defense industry is the key opportunity for the players in the hydraulic cylinder market.

The hydraulic cylinder market has been segmented on the basis of function, specification, application, bore size, industry, and geography.

Double-acting hydraulic cylinders held the largest market share in 2016. Owing to the retraction property of double-acting hydraulic cylinders, they are used in aerospace, automotive, agriculture, and several other industries. The applications of hydraulic cylinders in agriculture include tractors for softride suspension, harvesters such as combine harvesters, self-propelled forage harvesters and header harvesters, telescopic loaders, hydraulic reversible plows, wool presses, seed drills, tillage bars, spraying equipment, slashers and mowers, cotton module builders, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, and front-end loaders.

Welded hydraulic cylinders held the largest market share in 2016. Welded hydraulic cylinders are welded by the metal around the cylinder, making them heavy-duty cylinders. These types of cylinders find applications in areas such as construction equipment, material handling, and forklifts. They are used in heavy-duty equipment such as drillers for oilrigs and huge cranes.

Mobile equipment held the largest share of the hydraulic cylinder market in 2016. The increasing need for the use of hydraulic power at remote and hard-to-reach places leads to the significant growth of the hydraulic cylinder market for mobile equipment applications.

Hydraulic cylinders with bore size between 50 and 150 mm held the largest market share in 2016. Increasing construction activities, rapidly developing storage and material handling infrastructure, and the modernization of agriculture equipment have fueled the demand for 50–150 mm bore size hydraulic cylinders. These hydraulic cylinders find applications in many types of construction, earthmoving, material handling, and agricultural equipment.

The construction industry led the hydraulic cylinder market in 2016. The global construction industry has undergone substantial changes in recent years due to the global recession, which has led to the downsizing of the construction sector in developed markets. However, the construction investments in most emerging markets have continued to grow at a moderate rate despite the global crisis. China, India, and the US will witness major growth in the global construction industry. Earthmoving equipment is mainly used for construction projects such as digging the earth, lifting, loading and unloading weight, and leveling. The applications of hydraulic cylinders in earthmoving equipment include hitches, excavators, skid steer loaders, backhoes, wheel loaders, motor graders, dumper trucks, dozers, trenchers, road rollers, and other types of equipment used for heavy loading, high cycle rating, and accurate movement.

APAC held the largest size of the hydraulic cylinder market in 2016. APAC is the most rapidly growing market and offers a huge opportunity for agricultural equipment manufacturers owing to the enormous development in the farm machinery segment. This is driven by the increased demand for the mechanization of farms to address the needs of the growing population. Governments provide support to developing economies to increase the productivity in the agriculture sector through the automation of farming methods. India and China are the major markets for hydraulic cylinders in APAC. The growth of the hydraulic cylinder market in India is driven by the presence of well-established players such as Wipro. Moreover, the rapid development in industries such as construction, agriculture, infrastructure, steel, cement, and mining further drives the market for hydraulic cylinders in India.

The major restraint for the hydraulic cylinder market is increasing oil leakage from hydraulic cylinders. Hydraulic oil leakage in industrial applications ends up in groundwater, rivers, lakes, and the soil, causing damage to the environment, fish, and wildlife. Hydraulic leakage from industries such as marine, forestry, mining, and agriculture is mainly responsible for damaging the environment, which also results in high cleanup cost.

The hydraulic cylinder market is dominated by various players according to their core competencies. Companies such as Caterpillar (US), Parker Hannifin (US), Actuant (US), Eaton (Ireland), Jiangsu Hengli Hydraulic (China), Robert Bosch (Germany), and Wipro (India) are focusing on product launches and developments, acquisitions, and collaborations to enhance their product and service offerings and expand their business.

Top companies are adopting the strategy of product launches for improving their position in the hydraulic cylinder market by either improving their existing portfolio or adding new offerings. In August 2017, ENERPAC, a subsidiary of Actuant (US), launched high-tonnage hydraulic cylinders. The new product features nitrocarburization surface, which improves wear and corrosion resistance. It also has high-pressure seals for longer service life. The cylinders have a capacity ranging from 50 to 1,000 ton, strike length of up to 300 mm, and maximum working pressure of 700 bar. Bosch Rexroth, a division of Bosch, introduced a new corrosion protection technology named Enduroq 3 for hydraulic cylinders. The laser-based coating provides excellent protection in harsh environments, such as offshore applications.

Parker Hannifin (US) launched Parker IQAN Connect. The new technology using the standard SAE J1939 protocol integrates Parker Hannifin’s intelligent hydraulic components with electronic control hardware and software. By using IQAN Connect, companies can improve the efficiency and condition monitoring of their equipment. Milwaukee Cylinder, a wholly owned subsidiary of Actuant (US), launched a new Vulcan Series hydraulic cylinder. The new cylinder can operate at high temperature, making it ideal for rugged operations involving continuous cycles and hot conditions.
