The global rotary actuator market value is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.10% between 2025 and 2034.

Global Rotary Actuator Market Growth

A rotary actuator is a manual, fuel-powered, or electrical device whose primary function is to convert electrical energy into oscillatory and rotary motion. Rotary actuators are used for operating automatic and manual valves and are designed for heavy-duty motion and high torque applications, among others.

The rotary actuator market key trends and dynamics are driven by the growing adoption of rotary actuators by manufacturers in their assembly processes, aimed at enhancing product efficiency and quality. They are also extensively used in the control and monitoring of industrial automation processes involving raw materials to obtain desired end products.

Global Rotary Actuator Market Analysis

Another crucial trend aiding the precision rotary actuator industry growth is the growing adoption of rotary actuators by various end-user industries. Due to their mechanical stiffness and high force capabilities, rotary actuators are used in the aerospace industry, semiconductor production, defence industry, oil and gas manufacturing units, and packaging industry, among others.

The growing automotive industry is another key trend propelling the growth of the rotary actuators market. Rotary actuators are heavily employed in the automotive industry due to their applications in movement control of valves and flaps in exhaust and engine systems along with their usage in suspension systems and power steering.

Global Rotary Actuator Industry Outlook

As per the BP Statistical Review of World Energy (2021), in 2021, North America's oil production reached 1.07 billion tonnes, marking a 1.8% increase from 2020. The United States led with 711.1 million tonnes, reflecting stable production levels with a growth rate of 0.2%. Canada followed, achieving 267.1 million tonnes, which represents a significant increase of 6.3%. Mexico produced 96.5 million tonnes, maintaining a steady output of 1.7% increase. Europe's total oil production in 2021 was 160.2 million tonnes. Norway was the largest producer in the region, with 93.8 million tonnes, showing a 2.2% growth.
