Pneumatic and Hydraulic System Market Report 2026

The pneumatic and hydraulic system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $44.87 billion in 2025 to $47.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of industrial automation, growth in construction and heavy machinery demand, widespread use of fluid power systems, availability of standardized hydraulic components, increasing mechanization across industries.

The pneumatic and hydraulic system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $60.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of smart manufacturing, expansion of electric and hybrid machinery, increasing focus on energy efficiency, growth of industrial IoT applications, rising demand for high-precision motion control. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing integration of smart fluid power systems, rising demand for energy-efficient hydraulic solutions, growing adoption of electro-hydraulic and electro-pneumatic controls, expansion of compact and lightweight system designs, enhanced focus on predictive maintenance.

The increasing investments in infrastructure are expected to drive the growth of the pneumatic and hydraulic system market going forward. Infrastructure refers to the basic physical and organizational systems, such as transportation, communication, and utilities, that support the functioning of a society or business. Investments in infrastructure are rising due to rapid urbanization, which increases the demand for modern transportation, utilities, and digital networks to support growing populations and economic activities. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems support infrastructure by providing powerful and precise control for heavy machinery, enabling efficient construction, lifting, and material handling operations. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, total government spending on infrastructure increased by 2.2% in 2024, reaching $38 billion (£28.9 billion) at current prices compared to the previous year. Therefore, the increasing investments in infrastructure are driving the growth of the pneumatic and hydraulic system market.

Key companies operating in the pneumatic and hydraulic system market are focusing on developing advanced pneumatic flow control technology to enhance system efficiency, responsiveness, and automation flexibility. Advanced pneumatic flow control technology refers to a modern innovation in pneumatic systems designed to precisely regulate air pressure and flow for improved performance and automation efficiency. For instance, in July 2024, Emerson Electric Co., a US-based industrial solutions provider, launched the AVENTICS Series XV pneumatic valves. This series includes the XV03 model, providing flow volumes up to 350 liters per minute, and the XV05 model, offering up to 880 liters per minute. The valves feature compact dimensions, durable metal threads, and aluminum base plates, facilitating seamless integration into production systems. Such innovations enhance operational efficiency and adaptability in various industries. However, the adoption of these advanced systems may require significant investment and potential modifications to existing infrastructure, posing challenges for widespread implementation across diverse market segments.

In January 2024, Atlas Copco AB, a Sweden-based company that provides industrial productivity solutions, acquired Kracht GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Atlas Copco aims to strengthen its industrial pump segment and expand its technological capabilities in fluid handling systems. Kracht GmbH is a Germany-based company specializing in high-quality fluid technology, including pumps, fluid measurement, valves, and hydraulic systems.
