MARKET SEGMENTATION

Double acting hydraulic cylinders comprise more than 75% of the hydraulic cylinders market revenue, as they are used for heavy and large construction and manufacturing equipment. These cylinders derive power from full and annular bores by applying force in both the directions, pressurized with hydraulic fluids- mostly oil, that are used for mounting on flanges, clevises, and lugs for machine functions. Double acting hydraulic cylinder has been dominating the market with global revenue of approximately USD 7 billion in 2017 and is expected to drive the market growth for mobile equipment in the near future.

Single-acting hydraulic cylinders are pressurized with fluid from one side of the piston by maintaining the volume on the other side of the piston, usually mounted on springs of lift truck. Although these cylinders work on single-direction power operation, they have fewer industrial applications, thus have less market share.

Within the product type segment, Welded hydraulic cylinders hold the major market share as they are implemented in the heavy mobile equipment for carrying heavy loads and provide customizations for specific applications. Welded cylinders comprise more than 60% market shares and are expected to generate a revenue of approximately USD 11 million over the forecasted period. These cylinders provide appropriate products and services to contractors by providing construction equipment (excavators, bulldozers, etc.) and material handling equipment (telescopic handlers, fork-lift trucks, etc.) embedded with fine quality of hydraulic cylinders.

Tie rod hydraulic cylinders are manufactured using high strength threaded steel rods usually used in light to medium machinery, most often seen in industrial applications. The installation unit of tie rod cylinders varies according to their usage in various applications. For example, large bore cylinders require 16-20 tie rods wherein small bore cylinders usually have 4 tie rods in order to retain tremendous forces produced. The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) has standardized dimensions for tie rod hydraulic cylinders, to maintain stability with mounting dimensions of different manufacturers. For instance, Parker Hannifin has designed its tie rod cylinders to be fatigue-free at maximum pressure with ensured safety factor and long working life of the cylinder.
