The global hydraulic cylinder market size was valued at USD 15.32 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing adoption of hydraulic cylinders in numerous industries such as material handling, construction and infrastructure, marine, and earthmoving is fueling the industry growth. The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to significant volatility in global commodity prices, thereby impacting the demand and supply of raw materials. Lockdown restrictions were imposed across countries to curb the spread of the virus, which led to a severe fallout for the global economy. The pandemic led to a deep recession and impacted production activities, which impacted hydraulic cylinder demand.

In North America, the U.S. had the most confirmed cases of coronavirus, followed by Canada and Mexico. The supply and distribution chains were adversely affected due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which negatively impacted the market growth in the region. The U.S. government is trying to propel the country's growth by investing significantly in various industries such as construction and infrastructure, energy, transportation, pharmaceutical and medicine, and EV infrastructure. For instance, in November 2021, the U.S. government signed a more than USD 1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan, thus fueling the growth of the hydraulic cylinder industry.
