공기압 실린더 시장 예측(-2030년) : 제품 유형, 실린더, 최종사용자, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Pneumatic Cylinder Market is accounted for $20.58 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $33.02 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. A pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that uses compressed air to produce linear motion. It operates on the principle of converting the energy from pressurized air into mechanical force, driving a piston within a cylindrical chamber. The air pressure forces the piston to move, either extending or retracting, depending on the design of the cylinder. They come in various sizes and configurations, such as single-acting and double-acting cylinders, and can be customized to suit specific applications.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising focus on sustainability and green technologies

The rising focus on sustainability and green technologies is driving significant advancements in the design and functionality of pneumatic cylinders. These devices, essential for industrial automation, are evolving to meet the growing demand for energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and environmentally friendly operations. Manufacturers are adopting innovative materials and technologies that minimize waste, enhance durability and reduce the environmental impact of production. For instance, lightweight, high-strength materials are being used to create cylinders that require less energy to operate, reducing overall power consumption.

Restraint:

Leakage and reliability issues

Leakage and reliability issues in pneumatic cylinders significantly impact their performance and efficiency. Leakage, typically caused by worn seals, damaged components, or poor assembly, leads to a loss of air pressure, reducing the cylinder's power and efficiency. This can result in erratic movement, slower response times, or incomplete strokes, all of which compromise the system's overall functionality. Reliability issues can arise from factors like inadequate maintenance, poor-quality materials, or excessive wear over time. These problems can cause frequent breakdowns, unexpected downtimes, and higher operational costs due to the need for constant repairs or replacements.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for energy-efficient systems

The rising demand for energy-efficient systems is driving advancements in pneumatic cylinders, as industries seek solutions that minimize energy consumption while maintaining high performance. Pneumatic cylinders, which are essential for converting compressed air into mechanical motion, are being increasingly optimized for energy efficiency. Innovations such as variable-speed compressors, regenerative braking systems, and improved seal designs are helping reduce air leakage and energy wastage. Additionally, the integration of smart technologies like IoT-enabled sensors allows for better monitoring and control, ensuring that pneumatic systems operate only when necessary, further saving energy.

Threat:

Lack of skilled labor

Pneumatic systems, which rely on compressed air to perform mechanical tasks, require precise assembly, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Skilled workers are essential for tasks such as designing, testing, and repairing pneumatic cylinders to ensure optimal performance and safety. However, many companies struggle to find workers with the necessary technical expertise in areas like fluid dynamics, automation systems, and mechanical design. This lack of skills not only delays production timelines but also affects product quality, leading to potential inefficiencies, equipment failures and increased costs.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the pneumatic cylinder industry, causing disruptions in production, supply chains, and demand. Manufacturing facilities faced closures or reduced operations due to health restrictions and labor shortages, leading to delays in production and delivery. The global shortage of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, further exacerbated these challenges, raising costs and extending lead times. However, many companies delayed or canceled orders as they dealt with financial uncertainties.

The Double Acting Cylinder segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Double Acting Cylinder segment is expected to dominate the largest share over the estimated period. A Double Acting Cylinder (DAC) is an advanced type of pneumatic cylinder that enhances performance by using air pressure for both extension and retraction movements, unlike a Single Acting Cylinder, which uses air pressure for only one direction and relies on a spring for the return stroke. The DAC consists of a piston inside a cylindrical housing, with air ports at both ends. When compressed air is supplied to one end, the piston moves in one direction (e.g., extending). To reverse the motion, air is supplied to the opposite end, causing the piston to retract.

The Rotary Cylinders segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Rotary Cylinders segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, by adding rotational motion capabilities to the standard linear motion offered by traditional pneumatic actuators. Rotary pneumatic cylinders use compressed air to generate rotational force, which is ideal for applications requiring precise and consistent rotation, such as in automated machinery, robotic arms, or valve actuators. These cylinders often incorporate features like adjustable stops, swivel heads, and integrated sensors for feedback, ensuring greater accuracy and control in rotational movements. By integrating these capabilities into pneumatic systems, industries can achieve more compact designs, reduce mechanical complexity and enhance system efficiency.

Region with largest share:

North America region is poised to hold the largest share of the market throughout the extrapolated period. With IoT-enabled pneumatic cylinders, manufacturers can monitor and control cylinder performance in real time, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime. Sensors embedded in these cylinders collect data such as pressure, temperature, and stroke position, which is then transmitted to central systems for analysis. Furthermore, this data-driven approach allows for predictive maintenance, identifying potential issues before they cause failures, thus reducing maintenance costs and enhancing system reliability.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe region is estimated to witness the highest CAGR during the projected time frame. Smart manufacturing integrates advanced technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics into production processes, enabling manufacturers to optimize efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve product quality. Pneumatic cylinders, essential in automation systems, are benefiting from this trend as they become more connected and intelligent. With sensors and predictive maintenance capabilities, these cylinders can provide real-time data on performance, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimizing operational disruptions.
