Hydraulic Filter Market Report 2026

The hydraulic filter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.67 billion in 2025 to $3.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of hydraulic machinery, preventive maintenance practices, traditional filtration systems, industrial equipment usage, mining and construction growth.

The hydraulic filter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to predictive maintenance adoption, smart hydraulic systems, stricter equipment reliability standards, growth of aftermarket services, demand for cleaner hydraulic systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of sensor based filters, focus on extended equipment life, demand for high efficiency filtration, growth of aftermarket replacement sales, emphasis on contamination control.

The increasing growth of the defense industry is expected to drive the hydraulic filter market going forward. The defense industry encompasses companies involved in designing, developing, manufacturing, operating, and maintaining aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, defense systems, and related technologies. Hydraulic filters are critical in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and safety of hydraulic systems, enabling optimal performance and longevity of aircraft and defense equipment. For instance, in March 2023, according to the United States Air Force (USAF), a US-based agency of the Department of the Air Force, the Air Force's fiscal year 2024 budget request was approximately $215.1 billion, a $9.3 billion or 4.5% increase over the FY 2023 approved figure. Therefore, the growth of the defense industry is supporting the hydraulic filter market.

Major companies in the hydraulic filter market are focusing on innovative solutions such as pressure sensors to gain a competitive edge. A pressure sensor detects and measures fluid pressure within hydraulic systems, ensuring optimal performance and safety. For example, in May 2024, Parker Hannifin, a US-based leader in motion and control technologies, launched the SCP09 pressure sensor with an OEM pin configuration. Operating within a pressure range of 10 to 600 bar, it features a compact design for easy installation in tight spaces and is hermetically sealed without internal seals, providing high reliability and contamination resistance. The SCP09 enhances hydraulic system efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.

In June 2024, Hengst SE, a Germany-based filtration and fluid-management technology company, acquired Main Filter, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Hengst’s global hydraulics presence and supply-chain efficiency by adding local North American production capacity, ensuring faster availability and improved service for customers in the region. Main Filter, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer specializing in a wide range of hydraulic filters and filter elements for industrial and mobile hydraulic systems.
