In 2014, the manufacture of fluid power components was a $22 billion business in the United States. It was the fifth straight year of industry growth, increasing 77% since the 2009 recession, and 32% higher than its pre-recession high in 2008.
The manufacture of hydraulic products was a $16.7 billion business in 2014, 76% of the fluid power total. The manufacture of pneumatic products was a $5.3 billion business in 2014, 24% of the fluid power total.
These and other facts about the industry can be found in the 2014 Annual Report on the U.S. Fluid Power Industry published by the National Fluid Power Association. The report reviews both the size and economic impact of the industry, as well as explores the energy consumption, best practices and current R&D directions of related technology.
