Positioning for growth across mining, construction, and smart hydraulic technologies
Perth, Western Australia — 2025— Gerrard Hydraulics, one of WA’s longest-standing hydraulic equipment suppliers and specialists in hydraulic repair services, today announced an optimistic outlook for 2026 as new data confirms significant expansion across Australia’s industrial hydraulics sector.

Australia’s industrial hydraulics market—valued at USD 50.1 billion in 2024 and projected to reach USD 70.3 billion by 2033—continues its upward trajectory, supported by booming mining operations, major infrastructure investment, and rapid adoption of smart, automated hydraulic systems. With an expected CAGR of 4.2%, the industry is primed for strong long-term performance, placing hydraulic suppliers like Gerrard Hydraulics in a strategic leadership position.

A Strong, Opportunity-Rich Market
Australia’s mining, construction and manufacturing sectors remain the backbone of national hydraulic demand. Growth is being driven by:
1. Expanded Infrastructure and Mining Activity
Nationwide projects in transport, water, energy and minerals continue to generate demand for hydraulic components, heavy machinery services, and high-performance systems.
2. Rise of Smart and AI-Driven Hydraulics
Digitally integrated hydraulics, IoT-enabled systems, and predictive diagnostics are reshaping performance expectations. Gerrard Hydraulics is investing in these areas to expand service capability and support Industry 4.0 transformation.
3. Sustainability and Energy-Efficient Solutions
Environmental regulations are accelerating the shift toward eco-friendly hydraulic fluids, low-energy systems, and sustainable equipment designs. Gerrard Hydraulics is working closely with customers to supply components that meet evolving standards.
4. Strengthening Local Manufacturing and Supply Chain Resilience

Following global disruptions, Australian industries are prioritising local hydraulic component suppliers and hydraulic component services. This trend strongly benefits local capability and ensures shorter lead times for WA-based customers.

Gerrard Hydraulics Positioned for Growth
With WA continuing to lead the nation in mining, industrial production and equipment investment, Gerrard Hydraulics is expanding in key areas:
Enhanced Field Service & Repairs: More technicians and expanded hydraulic repair services ensure faster response times across Perth and regional WA.

Broader Component Range: Increased stock of cylinders, pumps, valves, hoses and fittings to support customers seeking “hydraulic suppliers near me” and “hydraulic fitting suppliers near me.”

Advanced Diagnostics & Smart Solutions: Investing in electro-hydraulic technology and digital condition-monitoring systems.

Workforce Development: Addressing national skills shortages through new training partnerships and technician development pathways.

Stronger National Alignment: Industry consolidation, including the recent Fluiconnecto Ryco Australia merger activity, is creating opportunities for collaboration and expanding customer support networks.

Industry Trends Create New Opportunities
Recent forecasts highlight:
Australia’s broader hydraulics market is expected to grow from US$837.2M (2024) to US$1.17B (2033).

Mobile hydraulics remain the largest and fastest-growing segment due to mining, construction and agricultural investment.

Automation and telematics continue to push demand for next-generation systems.

Renewable energy installations—including solar, hydro, and wind—are creating new applications for hydraulic expertise.

These trends align closely with Gerrard Hydraulics’ core strengths as a trusted local partner for hydraulic equipment, hydraulic services, component sourcing and repair solutions.
