Fluid Power which encompasses hydraulics and pneumatics, is a $33 billion industry, of which the U.S. accounts for $12 billion. And based on global market forecasts for industrial valves, fluid power could see additional growth of an estimated 4% annually through 2011. Fluid power offers the potential for energy recovery, which can result in large savings on fuel costs, estimated in the transportation sector alone to reach into the area of 100 million barrels of oil. In the automotive industry, a 10% improvement could save approximately $100 billion per year.
