Metal parts for hydraulics in Europe

CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Metal parts for hydraulics in Europe | 2

Introduction

Hydraulic parts are used in hydraulic systems and equipment (also known as ‘hydraulics’), which serve as a source of

mechanical force or control. Other sources include pneumatic or electric power. Europe is one of the largest hydraulics

markets in the world, together with Japan and the USA.

Most of the leading suppliers to the European market for hydraulic parts are from developed countries, although some

exporters from developing countries have found inroads into the European market. The most promising industries for

hydraulics in the coming years are likely to be construction, engineering, power and energy, oil refineries, food and

beverage, and retail. Specialisation in any of these sectors could help to build recognition for exporters from developing

countries. Focusing on innovative market segments (e.g. mechatronics and hybrid hydraulics) could also become a unique

selling proposition for exporters from developing countries exporters. The increasing demand for outsourcing, particularly

by major players, offers potential opportunities for exporters from developing countries.

Product description

In this survey, the terms ‘hydraulic parts’ and ‘(metal) parts for hydraulics’ are used to refer to the selection of products

listed in Table 1 of Annex 1, unless stated otherwise. One code in the CN nomenclature refers to parts of hydraulics

(Chapter 8412, paragraph 9).

Geographic scope

The geographic scope of this survey is the European Union area, although certain parts focus on a selected group of countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland). These countries/regions are large producers of hydraulics, and they offer good opportunities to exporters from developing countries. The term ‘focus countries’ refers to these nine selected countries, unless stated otherwise.

Product specification

Specifications for metal parts for hydraulics, as required by European buyers, are described below. Pictures 1-4 provide

examples of hydraulic parts that are used in hydraulic products in Europe. Pictures 5-6 provide examples of applications in

which hydraulic parts are used.

Material and design Hydraulic parts are made of various materials, including cast iron, stainless steel and solid brass. The material used

depends largely on the application. In general, parts should be completely protected against corrosion (e.g. zinc or chrome

plated and nitrided). Moving parts are tube machined, ground, treated and polished. The majority of parts are suitable for

working temperatures from 300°C to 900°C and for maximum working pressures of at least 200 bar (and, in many cases,

even more).

The exact requirements of the hydraulic parts are obviously specified by the customer, and they can vary from customer to

customer.

Labelling and packaging

Due to the great diversity of hydraulic parts, there is also diversity of packaging. Nevertheless, the standard means of

transportation is wooden boxes for large parts, although cartons can be used for smaller parts. Packaging and labelling is

an aspect that is usually determined according to customer-specific requirements. If you use wood packaging materials to

export products to Europe, you must consider the health (phytosanitary) requirements set for these materials. In practice,

these requirements mean that the wood must have undergone heat treatment or been fumigated with methyl bromide.

Finally, the packaging must always be marked. This is to ensure that it can be identified during transport, as well as to

indicate the quantity, the weight, the actual products and the producer’s name.

Quality:

The quality standards of German, Austrian, Swiss, Dutch and Nordic companies are amongst the highest in Europe. Many

of the hydraulic equipment producers are increasingly depending on exports, and they have therefore implemented stricter

quality standards than they had previously adopted.

CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Metal parts for hydraulics in Europe | 3

The quality standards of individual companies in France are perceived to be lower than those in Germany, Austria,

Switzerland, the Netherlands and Northern Europe, but higher than those in Spain and Italy. Although the quality

standards of Italian companies are considered lower, Italian producers who export hydraulic equipment apply very high

quality standards.

What is the demand for metal parts for hydraulics in Europe?

Imports

Note: the data on hydraulic parts in Figures 1-5 offer an indication of developments over the years for the countries of

origin. In reality, the absolute import and export values are higher than the values shown. Unfortunately, the real values

(countries in range of largest importers)

Source: Trademap

As the largest hydraulics producers in Europe, Germany is not surprisingly the leading importer of hydraulic parts in

Europe. It is followed by United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France.

The year 2012 was a top year for hydraulic parts imports; 2013 and 2014 imports failed to reach the record level of 2012.

Note that the decline in imports since 2012 has affected intra-European trade and imports from non-developing countries.

Imports from developing countries increased in 2013, and they remained stable in 2014.

The share of developing countries in total imports has increased during the period under review: from 9% in 2010 to 11%

in 2012, reaching 16% in 2014. This increase was largely due to a decrease in imports from other developed countries, as

intra-European imports and imports from developing countries imports remained relatively stable.

The share of developing countries in total imports is expected to fluctuate between 9% and 14% in the next few years.

The import of hydraulic parts is expected to show some growth, in the range of 0%-2%.

Leading suppliers

Most of the leading suppliers to Europe are from developed countries, with Germany, Denmark and the USA as the top 3.

Only three developing countries are represented in the top 12 suppliers to Europe: China, Turkey and Brazil (with exports

of €139 million, €61 million and €61 million in 2014, respectively).

Tips:

Benchmark your company against your peers from China, Turkey, and Brazil, as well as from Germany, Denmark

and the USA.

Exporters from developing countries can improve their chances dramatically by adding value to the parts with

such labour-intensive processes as polishing and TIG welding.

As shown in Figure 6 (below), hydraulic equipment production levels in Europe are high. Given that hydraulic

equipment comprises a large number of metal parts, the market potential is huge.

Source: Trademap

Figure 5: Leading exporters of metal parts for hydraulics (2014), in € million

Source: Trademap

European exports of hydraulic parts are destined partly for after-sales/maintenance and service purposes. Suppliers of

hydraulic systems often sell their systems with after-sales and maintenance services. This means that they also supply

parts in case of maintenance or repairs.

The average annual growth rate of total European exports for the period 2010-2014 is 5.2%.

The leading destinations are the USA, a range of European countries and China.

A comparison of Figures 6 and 8 indicates that Europe was a net exporter of hydraulics in 2013 (i.e. production

exceeded demand).

Germany is the leading European producer in the hydraulics industry, with a 38% share of production output in

Europe. Some German vendors (e.g. Bosch, Weber Hydraulik) are global trendsetters in the hydraulics industry. Italy

is the second largest producer (15% share), followed by France (10%), the United Kingdom (8%), the Netherlands

(4%) and the Nordic countries (3%-4%).

• Germany is strong in every area of hydraulic production, while Italy is strong in the production of hydraulic valves

and pumps.

The major manufacturing industries that utilise hydraulic equipment encompass a vast range of sectors, including

textiles, packaging, paper, printing, plastics, rubber working, capping and sealing, and the beverage industries.

Macro-economic indicators

Figure 9: Real GDP, % change from previous year

Source: OECD Economic Outlook 96 database

The major determinant of the demand for hydraulics and hydraulic parts is industrial spending activity, which is, in turn,

stimulated by economic growth. The GDP is expected to show continued growth year-on-year. This clearly provides a

strong base for continuing import growth in the coming years.

The profitability of hydraulic parts imports is influenced by the exchange rate between the euro and the US dollar, as

products that are sourced globally are paid in US dollars. Although earlier forecasts did not predict this exchange rate to

surpass 0.80 until 2020, it reached this point in 2015, with an exchange rate of 0.90 in June 2015. This development is

having a major effect on the price level of imports. Particularly if it persists for several years, this situation is likely to have

a negative impact on the level playing field of European imports paid in US dollars, relative to local European production.

What trends offer opportunities on the European market for metal parts for hydraulics?

The most promising industries for hydraulics in the coming years are construction, engineering, power and energy, oil

refineries, food and beverage, and retail. Nevertheless, the steady transition to pneumatic and electronic equipment from

hydraulic equipment could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

One of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market for hydraulics (and parts for hydraulics) since 2009 has

been the increasing demand for material handling and mining equipment (e.g. drilling machines, electronic overhead travel

[EOT] cranes, level luffing cranes and stackers).

Tip:

If the value of the euro remains at the current low level, producers from developing countries should increasingly

focus on reducing costs in order to remain competitive in the European market.

Manufacturers have recently begun to integrate electronic controls into hydraulic equipment in order to enhance accuracy

and efficiency. As a result, hydro-mechatronics is developing very quickly. One key development in the hydro-

mechatronics field involves variable-speed hydraulic pumps and variable-speed pump drives, which deliver accurately

measured and timed hydraulic power as required.

Other major innovative segments include electro-hydraulics and software design, especially in the hydraulics markets in

Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Hybrid hydraulics is a key segment developed by leading French car manufacturers. Hybrid hydraulic systems combine

hydraulic drives with conventional gasoline engines. The result is significantly more efficient than existing gasoline-electric

hybrids. Instead of capturing the kinetic energy of the slowing car with a generator that charges a battery, the Hybrid Air

system uses a reversible hydraulic pump.

The hydraulic equipment industry has been witnessing an increasing trend towards the outsourcing of manufacturing

activities, primarily to India and China. The major players have been particularly likely to outsource production, while small

and medium-sized companies have tended to keep production local. The main reason for outsourcing has been the

availability of inexpensive labour and the skilled workforces in these countries. On the other hand, Chinese companies are

involved in the acquisition of some German hydraulic companies. One example is Linde Hydraulics, which has two plants in

China. Since January 2013, 70% of the company has been owned by Chinese Weichai Power.

For information on general trends, refer to the CBI document on Trends for Metal Parts and Components.

With which requirements should metal parts for hydraulics comply in order to be

allowed on the European market?

Requirements can be divided into:

(1) legal requirements, which must be met in order to enter the market;

(2) non-legal requirements, which most competitors have implemented, and which should be met in order to keep pace

with the market; and

(3) additional requirements for specific segments. A general overview of the EU buyer requirements for metal parts is

available on the CBI Market Intelligence Platform.

Legal requirements

No specific legal requirements apply to metal parts in general. If the ‘part’ is to be used in a finished product, the

exporter has an obligation to export a safe product to Europe.

The ‘Liability for defective products (Directive 85/374/EEC)’ refers to finished products. The Product Liability Directive

states that European importers are liable for the products introduced to the European market. In principle, however,

European importers can pass on claims to their producers/exporters.

If a complete hydraulics product or equipment is exported to Europe, the PED directive (CE-marking: Pressure Equipment

(Directive 97/23/EC) may apply. In a potentially explosive atmosphere, the equipment must meet the ATEX directive

(Directive 94/9/EC).

The following is a list of other general legislation that must be taken into account:

Tips:

Prospective exporters from developing countries can qualify as suppliers for large Europe-based multinational

companies (e.g. Poclain Hydraulics), which can provide them a sound export share. In order to do so, however,

they must be prepared to comply with high quality standards and precise procurement procedures required by

these companies.

Exporters from developing countries should focus on growing sectors that use hydraulic systems, including

construction, engineering, power and energy, food and retail. Specialisation in any of these sectors could enhance

recognition for exporters.

Focusing on innovative market segments (e.g. mechatronics or hybrid hydraulics) and choosing to develop

particular products for those segments, instead of producing a large range of products, could become a unique

selling proposition for exporters from developing countries.

The increasing demand for outsourcing could offer potential opportunities for exporters from developing countries.

Geographically, it is easier for exporters from developing countries to focus on areas with a high concentration of

hydraulics producers (e.g. Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto in Italy).

Wood packaging materials used for transport (including dunnage) (Directive 2000/29/EC): Europe has imposed

requirements for wood packaging materials (WPM), including packing cases, boxes, crates, drums, pallets, box pallets and

dunnage (wood used to wedge and support non-wood cargo).

Another packaging related directive is the general directive about packaging and packaging waste (Directive 94/62/EC).

This directive prescribes the marking of the kind of packaging material used, as well as the maximum levels of heavy

metals in the packaging material.

For hydraulic parts, a low 2.7% duty is levied on European imports from third countries. Several countries benefit from a

preferential 0% tariff (e.g. Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Bosnia and Egypt). The TARIC database provides

additional details for Code 841290. Note that it is not possible to claim preferential tariff treatment without a Certificate of

Origin.

Non-legal requirements

Certification according to ISO 9001 is the minimum standard that European buyers expect when searching for new

suppliers. Other certification, including ISO 14000 (environment) and OHSAS 18001 (health and safety), can be beneficial

when promoting your company and its products to potential customers.

Once a prospect has expressed serious interested, the most important requirements will be related to the parts

themselves. For example, the material, dimensions and finishing must meet the customer’s specifications. These issues are

essential in the sample phase. Once the customer has accepted the samples and all other conditions have been agreed

upon, the contract can be signed. Thereafter, the main challenge for the suppliers will be to deliver the products according

to the agreed-upon specifications, delivery times and volumes. Suppliers should not underestimate these conditions.

Delivery times and delivery reliability are of utmost importance, particularly when supplying directly to hydraulic

equipment producers.

Depending on the type of application (critical or non-critical), the customer may have material and/or testing

requirements. In general, the following guideline applies with regard to material requirements: the metal that is used must

be covered by an international standard and approved with a material certificate, which can be stated in an EN10204 -

type 3.1 certificate. This type of certificate is internationally accepted.

The customer may also have testing requirements, including NDT (non-destructive testing), surface (MT or magnetic

testing, PT or penetrant testing) and section (UT or ultrasonic testing and RT or X-ray testing) tests.

Note that, for complete hydraulic products, several international ISO standards may be relevant and demanded by

customers. Such hydraulic products (e.g. actuators, valves and fittings) must be interchangeable and perform according to

known standards.

Tips:

The importance of customer satisfaction should not be underestimated. Although customers obviously regard

product quality as important, they also attach a great deal of value to meeting delivery times and delivery

volumes.

Producers of hydraulic system components (e.g. valves and cylinders) are the most logical prospects for producers of

hydraulic parts. Importers could also be potential customers. For additional information, refer to the following CBI

documents: 1) Market Channels and Segments and 2) Competition for Metal Parts and Components. The following section

provides descriptions of the various types of prospects, including a few examples for each type. Resources for finding

prospects are included in the section on ‘Useful resources’.

Producers

In general, producers of hydraulic components possess in-depth knowledge concerning a wide range of production

processes: rod and tube machining, grinding and honing, custom metal machining, component machining, skive and roller

burnishing, friction and inertia welding, plating, painting, and hydraulic component assembly. In many cases, robotic and

Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines are used in these processes.

Most producers are specialised in a specific range of hydraulic components, while some producers offer a wide range of

hydraulic components:

France: Major producers of hydraulic cylinders include Chapel Hydraulique, Douce hydro, Sah Leduc and SERTA. Producers

of a wide range of hydraulic components include HYDROA (small producer of a medium-sized range of hydraulic

components), Olaer industries (producer of hydraulics and pneumatics, recently acquired by one of the global market

leaders), Parker Hannifin) and Poclain Hydraulics (producer of hydraulic pumps, motors and valves). For other companies,

hydraulics is only one part of their production range, as is the case for Bosch Rexroth, a producer of drives and controls,

and one of the world’s leading companies in hydraulics, headquartered in Germany.
