Global Hydraulic Fluid Market Research Report- Forecast to 2023

Global Hydraulic Fluid Market - by Type (Petroleum based hydraulic fluid, Bio-based hydraulic fluid, and Fire resistant type), by End Use (Oil and Gas industry, Automotive industry, Marine industry, Aircraft industry, Industrial machinery, Construction industry, and others (mining, forestry and agriculture)), and by Region - Forecast till 2023
Synopsis of Hydraulic Fluid Market
Hydraulic fluid serves the purpose of transforming power in to hydraulic systems (machinery). Most common hydraulic fluids are based on either mineral or water, which performs the function of power transmission, lubrication, and corrosion resistance. However, based on niche functionality, it performs various functions in different industries. These hydraulic fluids are largely used in oil and gas industry in the drilling operation as they have zero compressibility which makes hydraulic systems work efficiently. It is a technology involves mechanical properties which operates through force of liquid pressure.
As per the MRFR analysis, global hydraulic fluid market was valued at USD 3.64 billion as of 2016. The global hydraulic fluid market is projected to surpass USD 4.30 billion by 2023, growing at CAGR of 2.57%. Since the hydraulic systems are predominantly used in the crude oil drilling operations, huge crude oil production across the globe is considered as key market driver in the global market. Moreover, consistently growing automotive industry has surged robust demand for hydraulic fluids. Wherein it performs function of lubrication. In addition, increasing industrial production linked with easing urbanization have raised substantial demand over the years. Although driven by aforementioned factors, global market growth is hampered by unstable crude oil prices. Stringent government regulations on consumption of petroleum based hydraulic fluids due to environmental hazard expected to hinder market growth. Nevertheless, hydraulic fluid market anticipated to have healthy growth prospects in the years to come. Since the automotive industry is the second largest consumer of hydraulic fluids, hence vast demand for consumer and commercial automobile will provide several growth opportunities. Adoption of bio-based hydraulic fluids is consistently rising on account of environment hazards and is one of the emerging market trend in the recent years.
