Furthermore, the rising number of initiatives taken to ensure the safety of the workers in industries, such as chemicals and oil and gas also support the market growth in the region.
  • In oil and gas, hydraulic systems use fluid pressure to power a pump. That is done by pumping fluids downhole using a triplex pump designed for extremely high pressure, usually between approximately 2,000 and 5,000 psi. In general, hydraulic lifts have higher production volumes than mechanical lift pumps. According to EIA, it is expected that the US consumption of natural gas will average 82.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2021 and 83.8 Bcf/d in 2022. With increasing consumption, the market caters to potential growth.
  • Furthermore, the increasing demand for hydraulic equipment in the construction industry is driving the market's growth.
