Key technologies of actuators include hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and mechanical.

    Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions: An inorganic growth strategy remains preferred. Several crucial M&As led to several changes in the competitive landscape.

    • In 2022, Parker Hannifin Corp. acquired Meggitt PLC for US$ 7.24 billion. The acquisition further diversified Parker Hannifin Corp.’s presence in the market and expanded its portfolio of electromechanical actuators in the aerospace & defense markets.
    • In 2019, Parker Hannifin Corp. acquired Lord Corporation for US$ 3.675 billion (approx.). The acquisition expanded Parker Hannifin Corp.’s portfolio of materials science capabilities, electrification, and aerospace product offerings that are highly complementary.

    Covid-19 Impact

    The COVID-19 pandemic trembled the aerospace industry to the core, causing unimaginable disruption and losses for stakeholders. It also impacted the aerospace flight control actuator market, which declined by 13.1% in 2020. In 2021, the market further declined due to the prolonged impact of the pandemic paired with the B787 grounding. Despite this, the aerospace industry recovered in 2022, thanks to strong industry fundamentals and a track record of handling crises.
