Automotive Hydraulic Systems - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-07-01 I 120 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
Automotive Hydraulic Systems Market Analysis
The Automotive Hydraulics Systems Market is valued at USD 39.41 billion in 2025 and is forecast to expand to USD 52.12 billion by 2030, registering a 5.75% CAGR. Despite electrification, the steady advance reflects the sector's ability to preserve its core braking, steering, and suspension roles. Stricter global brake-safety mandates, rising commercial-vehicle output, and the spread of electro-hydraulic modules into Level 3+ autonomous driving platforms continue to lift demand. Thanks to China's production growth and India's capacity additions, Asia-Pacific remains the manufacturing hub, while Africa represents an emerging opportunity as infrastructure spending gains traction. At the same time, premium-vehicle makers rely on hydraulic suspension to differentiate ride quality, and commercial fleets prioritize tried-and-tested hydraulic reliability over experimental alternatives.
Global Automotive Hydraulic Systems Market Trends and Insights
Rising Global Commercial Vehicle Production & Sales
Surging truck and bus output increases hydraulic content per unit because heavy platforms need multiple high-pressure circuits for braking, steering, and auxiliary drives. India's industry produced 30.6 million vehicles in 2024, reinforcing hydraulic demand across domestic and export markets. U.S. fleet operators face chassis shortages, prompting higher utilisation of trucks requiring regular hydraulic upkeep. Electric powertrains in zero-emission trucks introduce extra thermal management loops that remain hydraulic, further sustaining component volumes. Operators value proven durability, which supports the automotive hydraulics systems market even as electrification spreads.
Stricter Brake-Safety Mandates (ABS, ESC, EBS)
New rules oblige carmakers to install automatic emergency braking and enhanced stability control that rely on precise hydraulic modulation. NHTSA's FMVSS 127 covers all U.S. light vehicles from September 2029 and sets collision-avoidance speed targets of 62 mph. The EU's upcoming Euro 7 standards bring brake particle limits, driving the adoption of low-dust hydraulic components. These requirements enlarge the addressable demand for advanced valves, boosters, and micro-pumps within the automotive hydraulics systems market
Rapid Shift to Fully-Electric Brake & Steering Systems
Battery EV platforms target weight savings and precise control, favouring electromechanical units that omit fluid lines. EPA multi-pollutant standards accelerate this transition in the United States. German suppliers reorganise production footprints as electric models trim hydraulic content. Commercial trucks move more slowly because of higher force requirements, yet long-term substitution risk weighs on the automotive hydraulics systems market.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:
Growing Premium-Vehicle Demand for Hydraulic Suspension / Electro-Hydraulic Modules for Level-3+ AD Systems / Environmental Concerns Over Hydraulic-Fluid Leakage /

Segment Analysis
Brakes generated 45.12% of 2024 revenue, giving this segment the largest stake in the automotive hydraulics systems market. Regulatory mandates such as NHTSA's emergency braking rule lock in resilient demand, and even pure EVs retain hydraulic backup circuits. Meanwhile, power-steering assist expands at a 6.52% CAGR as electro-hydraulic racks balance energy efficiency with steering feel. This illustrates how the automotive hydraulics systems market size can keep climbing inside electrified platforms.
Brake content remains stable because collision-avoidance systems need high-pressure modulation. Steering assist rises on the back of active-lane technologies that depend on fast hydraulic response. Suspension applications benefit from premium-car demand for ride comfort, while clutch and fan-drive uses fade in line with engine electrification. Regenerative hydraulic energy storage in commercial vehicles marks an emerging sub-segment with modest but steady contributions
Master cylinders constituted 35.26% of component sales in 2024, underscoring their universal fit across vehicle classes. Their dominance ensures stable volume, while hydraulic pumps post the highest 7.46% CAGR as advanced driver assistance features require on-demand pressure. These figures translate into a portion of the automotive hydraulics systems market share for pumps, signalling a pivot from passive to active control architectures.
Reservoirs, hoses, and manifolds record incremental gains driven by lightweight designs using composite lines. Valves and actuators climb in value because integrated sensors enable closed-loop control. Accumulators face mixed prospects pending PFAS-free fluid solutions, yet research promises long-term relevance in hybrid suspension energy storage.
The Automotive Hydraulic Systems Market is Segmented by Application (Brakes, Clutch, Suspension, and More), Component (Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder, and More), Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicles, and More), Sales Channel (OEM and Aftermarket), and Geography. The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD) and Volume (Units).
Geography Analysis
Asia-Pacific commands 48.89% of global revenue in 2024, underscoring its status as the centre of gravity for the automotive hydraulics systems market. China produced 2.353 million vehicles in May 2024, a 7.6% year-on-year rise, while new-energy models jumped 33.6%. India's 2024 output of 30.6 million units enlarges the regional automotive hydraulics systems market size and anchors long-term demand. Japan's subsidy-backed EV rollout reduces some power-train hydraulic applications yet preserves brake and suspension needs, prompting suppliers to recalibrate portfolios. Deep supply chains and abundant labour make Asia-Pacific the default choice for volume components, though PFAS and leakage regulations force factories to upgrade fluid-handling processes.
North America mixes rigorous safety regulations with fast-tracking electrification, creating a dual pull on hydraulic demand. NHTSA's new assessment protocols and FMVSS 127 sustain technical complexity in brake hydraulics, while EPA emissions rules accelerate EV adoption that can trim future volumes. The United States remains a Level 3 automation hub, giving electro-hydraulic module specialists a development advantage. Canada and Mexico buttress regional scale through integrated corridors under USMCA, stabilising supply for North American assemblers despite policy shifts.
Europe leads on rule-making yet battles eroding cost competitiveness, as Euro 7 particle limits and PFAS curbs force costly redesigns that only well-funded firms can absorb. Africa delivers the fastest 7.57% CAGR through 2030 from a low base, with infrastructure spending in Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt lifting off-highway hydraulic demand. South America shows steady growth tied to mining and agriculture machinery, though macroeconomic volatility clouds visibility. Middle Eastern markets combine legacy power-train preferences with industrial-policy incentives that could seed local hydraulic assembly.
