Market share of Pneumatic Cylinder Market in 2017 was dominated by Asia Pacific

In 2017, the global pneumatic cylinder market brought in US$ 1,072 million in sales. The pneumatic cylinder market is estimated to reach US$ 1,401 million by 2026, representing a 3.0% CAGR during the forecast period. The pneumatic cylinder, also known as an air cylinder, is a mechanical device that generates force in a linear motion using air pressure. The pneumatic cylinders are similar to a car piston, except instead of a fuel explosion, they are propelled by an influx of pressurized gas. The piston returns to its starting position when each stroke is completed.

In 2018, the double-acting cylinder section was the most popular.

The Pneumatic Cylinder Market is divided into single-acting and double-acting cylinders based on functionality. The double-acting cylinder segment dominated the pneumatic cylinder market in 2017, and it is expected to continue to do so during the forecast period. When compared to single-acting cylinders, double-acting cylinders are faster, stronger, and require less energy to complete the task. Double-acting pneumatic cylinders, on the other hand, are more expensive. One of the primary elements driving the double-acting cylinders segment's rapid rise is the growing demand for high-speed or forced mechanical devices in various industrial applications.

Furthermore, the double-acting Pneumatic Cylinder Market is utilized in suspensions for automobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, and airplane landing gear, which will drive market expansion during the projection period. Jacks, forklifts, garbage trucks, trash compactors, elevators, backhoes, and medical applications such as ventilators all use double-acting cylinders. Due to the high radiation level in space, the increased use of double-acting cylinders in the space program, which are used to open and close the shuttle bay doors, has prompted the replacement of electric motors with hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder Market.
