Hydraulic Ironworker Machine Market Report 2026

The hydraulic ironworker machine market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $11.85 billion in 2025 to $12.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of metal fabrication workshops, growth of steel construction, reliance on manual fabrication tools, industrialization trends, availability of hydraulic machinery.

The hydraulic ironworker machine market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of automated fabrication lines, infrastructure and industrial project growth, demand for productivity enhancement, safety regulation enforcement, investment in smart manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for multi function metal fabrication, growth of structural steel processing, preference for high tonnage ironworkers, rising adoption of automated operations, focus on precision and safety.

The rising demand within the steel industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the hydraulic ironworker machine market in the coming years. The steel industry encompasses the segment of the economy engaged in the production, processing, and distribution of steel, a highly versatile and widely utilized iron-carbon alloy. Hydraulic ironworker machines are essential in the steel industry, as they offer a flexible and efficient solution for a wide range of metal fabrication operations. For example, in January 2025, according to the World Steel Association, a Belgium-based industry body, the EU (27) produced 9.6 Mt of crude steel in December 2024, representing a 7.2% increase compared with December 2023. Therefore, growing demand in the steel industry is contributing to the expansion of the hydraulic ironworker machine market.

The increasing adoption of automation is expected to further support the growth of the hydraulic ironworker machine market going forward. Automation refers to the use of technology to minimize human involvement in processes by predefining decision criteria, subprocess interactions, and associated actions, and embedding these parameters into machines. The rise in automation is enhancing demand for hydraulic ironworker machines by improving productivity, operational flexibility, and energy efficiency while reducing operator fatigue. For instance, in September 2024, according to the World Robotics Report published by the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, approximately 4,281,585 industrial robots were in operation across factories worldwide in 2023, reflecting a 10% increase from the prior year. Annual robot installations surpassed 541,302 units in 2023, with 70% deployed in Asia, 17% in Europe, and 10% in the Americas. Therefore, the growing adoption of automation is driving the growth of the hydraulic ironworker machine market.

In May 2023, Miller Industries Inc., a US-based manufacturer specializing in towing and recovery equipment for the automotive sector, acquired Southern Hydraulic Cylinder Inc. for $17.5 million. Through this acquisition, Miller Industries aims to enhance its product delivery capabilities, reduce inventory levels, and address its record order backlog. Southern Hydraulic Cylinder Inc. is a US-based producer of custom hydraulic cylinders that form a critical component of hydraulic systems used in hydraulic ironworker machines.
