Market Drivers and Challenges
Growth Indicators
Rapid Growth in Development of Infrastructure
The global population has been growing at a steady pace, and this has been followed by high levels of urbanization taking place across most of the regions of the world. This has led to a greater demand for development of infrastructure in many places of the world. Countries such as China, India, and Japan constitute nearly 39% of the global infrastructure investment needs. Moreover, the infrastructural investment required by China is anticipated to reach $28 trillion in the coming years, which is approximately more than half of Asia’s total needs and about 30% of global needs. Moreover, the rate of migration of the global population from rural to urban areas has been increasing at a faster rate, which has raised the demand for providing infrastructural support for various regions. The demand for advanced hydraulic mechanical equipment is anticipated to increase significantly, owing to the requirement to build new infrastructure for the various regions, that is further expected to drive the growth of the supplementary market for hydraulic filters over the forecast period.
Growing Number of Mining Activities
The demand for resources, products and materials have been increasing significantly in many regions of the world, that is driving the heavy demand for resources, products and materials. United States and China are the world’s largest coal-producing countries. China is also the third-largest producer of iron ore and has produced over 70% of the rare earth metals global production in 2018. The growing number of mining and extraction activities are indicative of the significant increase in demand for materials across various regions. Moreover, the extraction of metal and non-metal constituents either in their pure or impure form are being done using highly advanced machineries. According to United States Geological Survey 2019, U.S. mines have produced approximately USD 82.2 billion of raw mineral materials in 2018 which is a 3% hike over 2017. Hydraulic systems are normally fitted into the machinery that is used for mining which is predicted to boost the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Rise in Commercial Vehicle Production
The number of activities taking place in the construction sector have been increasing globally along with the growth of e-commerce sector, that is mainly on account of advancements that have taken place in technology. This has led to high demand for transportation of materials that has resulted in the rise in the sales of commercial vehicles all over the world. According to OICA, in the year 2018, about 95.6 million commercial vehicles had been manufactured globally. Moreover, OICA reports that out of the close to 120 million commercial vehicles that are operating on-road, 14.7 million units had been sold in the year 2017.
Barriers
Growing Adoption of Electric Actuators in Vehicles
