Automotive Hydraulic Cylinders Market Analysis

Technological innovation is allowing manufacturers to introduce new compact, modular, and intelligent hydraulic systems that can be integrated with different electronics. Smart hydraulic systems, incorporated with sensors and other electronic components, are popularly being used in a wide range of vehicles, from lighter-duty agricultural vehicles to heavy-duty construction and mining equipment. Smart hydraulic cylinders use linear transducers (sensors) to communicate a cylinder’s piston position back to the overall hydraulic system, thereby enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of systems. Hydraulic cylinders enabled with position sensing (SMART) technology are extremely reliable, even in harsh environments and high temperature conditions; moreover, they exhibit greater efficiency, improved safety, and unprecedented performance levels. Thus, smart hydraulic cylinders are emerging as a significant trend in the automotive hydraulic cylinder market.

Automotive Hydraulic Cylinders Market Overview

A hydraulic cylinder is a tube that generates linear actuation applying hydraulic pressure. The cylinder includes mounting accessories, a piston with an attached rod, and a steel tube. The hydraulic fluid pressure pushes a piston to move in a forward and backward linear motion. Hydraulic cylinders are durable and create more amount of force when compared to electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic systems. The cylinders require a substantial amount of force for many tasks such as pressing, pushing, and lifting.

Automotive Hydraulic Cylinders Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Use of Hydraulic Cylinders in Waste Management Vehicles

The ongoing trend of industrialization, urbanization and economic growth have resulted in an increased municipal solid waste especially in cities with high population. Increasing volume of waste negatively impacts every aspect of society of a country damaging to the environment and surrounding habitat. Failing to address such problems strategically leads to long term impact on environment and public health influencing national economies on destructive way. For instance, according to the World Bank Group, the world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste every year. Further, the company expects 3.40 billion tons of global waste by 2050 which is more than double population growth over the same period. The East Asia and Pacific region generate 23% of the world’s waste which is higher than any other region. Due to such factors, economies are increasingly focusing on waste management strategies and thus gradually adopting waste management vehicles.

Strategic Initiatives by Market Players

The significantly rising demand for hydraulic cylinders encourages manufacturers to make various strategic decisions to address this demand. They prefer engaging in strategic alliances such as partnerships, collaborations, and agreements to strengthen their positions in the automotive hydraulic cylinder market.

• In November 2022, Norrhydro opened a production facility in Rovaniemi, Finland. The construction of this new production facility started in May 2021, and it was completed in August 2022. With this production facility, the company aims to achieve the serial production of a high-end hydraulic cylinder.
• In September 2022, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated announced the acquisition of Pacoma Group, the leading provider of hydraulic cylinders. With this acquisition, the company will leverage Pacoma’s portfolio of hydraulic cylinders.
• In January 2021, Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd., a HyperCyl brand of hydraulic cylinders, entered into a partnership with Aries Engineering Co. Inc. (AEC) to make its line-up of cylinders and other products available in Canada. AEC has a large customer base across electronics, appliances, aerospace, military, medical, and automotive industries, which will help HyperCyl to enhance its customer base in the market.

Thus, such strategic decisions by the market players are enhancing the availability of products and the positions of companies in the automotive hydraulic cylinder market, providing opportunities for their growth in the future.
