Fluid Power Industry Growth Trend

The latest data published by the National Fluid Power Association shows the 12 month moving

to-date % change for total fluid power shipments in January 2023 is 21.1%. Mobile hydraulic orders

received from February 2022 to January 2023 are currently 102.3% of the orders received from

February 2021 to January 2022. When looking at raw index data, pneumatic, mobile hydraulic, and
