Global Hydraulic Fluids Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Market-Growth-Drivers

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Automobile Manufacturing - The automotive industry is a key driver of the hydraulic fluid market. Hydraulic fluids are used in many different applications in the automotive industry, such as braking systems, power steering systems, and suspension systems. According to the International Automobile Manufacturers (OICA), global production of automobiles has increased steadily in recent years. In 2020, 74.7 million vehicles were produced worldwide, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%. As vehicle production continues to increase, demand for hydraulic fluids is expected to increase as well. 
  • Increasing Generation of Crude Oil - As hydraulic systems are widely used in oil and gas exploration and production, thus increasing crude oil production has increased the demand for hydraulic fluids. According per the reported data, the global oil production reached to the total to more than 93 million barrels per day in the year 2021. This increase in production will be driven by increased drilling activity and the use of advanced drilling technology that relies heavily on hydraulic systems and hydraulic fluids.  Therefore, it is expected to boost the growth of the hydraulic fluids market in the upcoming years.
  • Growing Demand for Renewable Sources – Rising demand for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power is driving the hydraulic oil market. Hydraulic systems are also used to generate solar energy. They are used in the installation of solar panels and to control the movement of mirrors in concentrator photovoltaic plants. Growth in the solar energy sector is expected to boost the demand for hydraulic fluids. Hence, these factors are anticipated to expand the growth of the globe hydraulic fluids market over the forecast period. According to a report from the International Energy Agency, solar power is expected to be the largest source of electricity by 2035, with solar power capacity increasing by 7% annually.  
  • Rising Demand for Heavy Equipment - Heavy equipment demand is one of the main drivers of the hydraulic fluid market. Hydraulic fluid is used as a power transmission medium in hydraulic systems commonly used in heavy machinery such as construction machinery, mining machinery, agricultural machinery, and ships. According to the report, North American construction equipment sales grew by 25% year-over-year in 2021, with total sales reaching USD 41.7 billion. 

Challenges

  • Environmental Concerns - Hydraulic fluids, especially those based on mineral oils, are known to harm the environment. Hydraulic oil leaks and spills can cause soil and water contamination and have serious impacts on ecosystems. Governments and regulators are increasingly focused on environmental issues, increasing pressure on manufacturers to develop more sustainable hydraulic fluids with minimal environmental impact.  
  • Volatility in Raw Material Prices

Global Hydraulic Fluids Market Segmentation

The global hydraulic fluids market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into construction, oil & gas, agriculture, and metal & mining. Out of these, the construction segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share by the end of 2035. Common hydraulic construction equipment that utilizes hydraulic fluids are excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, trenchers, loaders, dump trucks, and graders. In an often out-of-control construction situation, it can be difficult to keep operations flowing and things under control. To meet tight deadlines without compromising revenue and profitability, one needs to maintain the reliability and availability of your construction equipment. Lubrication is an important part of the maintenance process. Lubricants account for 1% to 3% of construction equipment maintenance budgets, according to Valvoline. Although a small fraction of the budget, lubrication can have a big impact on your performance goals and project success, and it increases the demand for the hydraulic fluids in the construction sector. Therefore, it is predicted to boost the growth of the segment in the hydraulic fluids market.

Despite Inflation & Fearing Recession, Businesses Across the Globe Expected to Do Better in 2023:

In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
