This research service defines growth opportunities in the fluid power equipment industry, which includes all equipment used in fluid power transmission systems. The study covers two segments, hydraulic equipment and pneumatic equipment, and provides product level breakdowns for both types. Growth rates and revenues are presented from years 2020 to 2027. Five key regions are included: North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; and Asia-Pacific. The end-user sectors covered are oil and gas, renewable power, construction, agriculture, material handling, oil and gas, aerospace and defense, machine tools, and hydraulic press, plastics, automotive, food processing and packaging, chemicals/plastics/oils, semiconductors and electronics, metal working, and others.
The study also covers key trends, a competitive breakdown by region, and top growth opportunities that equipment manufacturers can leverage to ensure sustained growth. With trends such as decarbonization gaining attention, demand is increasing for resilient energy infrastructure, such as more sustainable buildings, which leads to research and development initiatives focused on product development and the introduction of environment-friendly designs. Also, it is clear that sustainability goals cannot be achieved without decarbonizing industrial activities, and because industrial sites have long lifetimes, significant investment is required for upgrading these facilities.
The study’s target audience includes component manufacturers looking to understand the drivers and restraints affecting market growth and distributors targeting vital industries for new projects.

The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Fluid Power Equipment Industry
Disruptive Technologies
Why:
- As the need for electrification and automation intensifies, it also creates a need for new designs in fluid power systems to deliver smart, compact, and greener options.
- Technology has quickly emerged as a disruptor in the fluid power space, as manufacturers are continually integrating equipment with control systems and software, such as additive manufacturing, AI, and machine learning.
- Frost Perspective:
- Frost & Sullivan recommends industry participants develop energy-efficient solutions, increase integration of smart devices and Industry 4.0 technologies, miniaturize components, and use advanced materials, such as titanium and new higher F 51-grade steel. These advancements are gaining ground in the manufacturing and process sectors.
- These technologies will likely drive business efficiencies in both large and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the next 5 to 8 years.
Industry Convergence
- Why:
- Industry megatrends such as electrification and automation are driving the need for investments and business model changes.
- Focus should shift from selling individual products to cross-industry value experiences, such as providing complete automation solutions to the thriving EV manufacturing and hydrogen industries.
- Frost Perspective:
- Strategic partnerships with technology companies, digital assists, eCommerce shops, and joint ventures with diversified product portfolios are key trends.
- Frost & Sullivan recommends industry participants pursue a local-for-local strategy to bolster supply chain efficiency and develop products that will more successfully contribute to customer productivity.
Transformative Megatrends
Why:
- Climate change and electrification are becoming priority areas across industries.
- The adoption of digitalization globally is bringing rapid changes to systems in terms of efficiency and productivity.
- Frost Perspective:
- Frost & Sullivan advises industry participants to innovate smart solutions by optimizing equipment with automation and assistive devices to improve the efficiency and sustainability of systems.
- Moving forward, industry participants will design and build innovative fluid power architectures that incorporate electronics to maximize efficiency and help OEMs reduce their carbon footprint.
