Aircraft Hydraulic Actuator Market Global Report 2026

The aircraft hydraulic actuator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.84 billion in 2025 to $3 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing aircraft production, rising demand for reliable flight control systems, growing aircraft fleet size, increasing adoption of hydraulic flight control systems, and rising aircraft utilization.

The aircraft hydraulic actuator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.77 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for lightweight aircraft components, rising adoption of electro hydrostatic actuation systems, growing demand for high-performance aircraft actuators, increasing aircraft deliveries, and rising demand for reliable and precise flight control systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of electro hydrostatic actuators, rising demand for lightweight hydraulic actuators, growing development of high-power-density actuators, increasing demand for compact actuator designs, and rising focus on actuator reliability and durability.

The increasing commercial aircraft deliveries are expected to propel the growth of the aircraft hydraulic actuator market going forward. Commercial aircraft deliveries refer to the number of newly manufactured aircraft that aircraft manufacturers hand over to airline operators and other customers for operational use. Commercial aircraft deliveries are increasing due to rising global air passenger traffic, which encourages airlines to expand and modernize their fleets. The increase in commercial aircraft deliveries drives demand for aircraft hydraulic actuators, as every newly manufactured aircraft requires multiple hydraulic actuators for flight control systems, landing gear, brakes, and other critical functions. For instance, in January 2024, according to Airbus SE, a Netherlands-based aerospace and defense corporation, the company delivered 735 commercial aircraft in 2023, representing an 11% increase compared with deliveries made in 2022. Therefore, increasing commercial aircraft deliveries are driving the growth of the aircraft hydraulic actuator market.

Major companies operating in the aircraft hydraulic actuator market are concentrating on developing advanced electro hydrostatic pump technologies, such as compact self-contained pump units, to reduce actuator weight, lower energy consumption, and support the industry's transition toward more electric aircraft. Electro hydrostatic pump technology refers to a self-contained motor-pump assembly that generates hydraulic pressure and flow locally at the actuator, eliminating the need for centralized hydraulic distribution and reducing overall system weight. For instance, in October 2024, Moog Inc., a US-based motion control and actuation technology company, launched the EPU-G, the latest addition to its Electro hydrostatic Pump Unit portfolio, to improve energy efficiency and expand the size range of self-contained pump units available for weight-sensitive actuation applications. The EPU-G incorporates a newly designed 4-quadrant internal gear pump paired with a high dynamic servomotor, supports flow rates from 20 to 85 liters per minute at pressures of up to 345 bar, and introduces smaller pump volumes of 5, 8, 13, and 20 cubic centimeters to Moog's existing range. Its variable-speed and power-on-demand operation reduces noise emissions at partial load while lowering energy consumption and operating costs.

In July 2025, Safran S.A., a France-based aerospace, defense, and aviation technology company, acquired Collins Aerospace for $1.8 billion. Through this acquisition, Safran S.A. aimed to strengthen its position in aircraft flight control and actuation systems by combining Collins Aerospace’s hydraulic and mechanical actuation technologies with Safran’s electro-mechanical actuation expertise, supporting the development of next-generation aircraft platforms. Collins Aerospace is a US-based aerospace and defense systems company specializing in advanced hydraulic, mechanical, and electromechanical actuation systems used in commercial aircraft, military aircraft, and helicopters to control critical flight surfaces and ensure aircraft stability and performance.
