Fluid Power Equipment Manufacturing in Europe industry analysis

Producing hydraulic and pneumatic systems is the cornerstone of building machines and other equipment. Despite its importance, revenue has come under pressure from weak downstream demand and increasing competition from China and the US. Manufacturers in these geographies are increasingly entering the European market and competing with domestic manufacturers via imports or acquisitions. Nonetheless, sales in the hydraulic and pneumatic valve segments have remained solid, driven by increasing automation among mechanical engineering companies. Germany dominates the European industry, accounting for approximately 40% of industry revenue, according to Eurostat.
