As is known to all, The United States, Germany, Japan are the traditional three powerful hydraulic countries in the hydraulic industry, they have the world's leading and advanced precision hydraulic manufacturing technology and process. At the same time, these three countries also gave birth to precision hydraulic giants - Bosch Rexroth of Germany, Eaton of the United States and Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan, which still dominate the hydraulic market to this day. According to relevant statistics, the three companies account for about 35% of the global hydraulic industry market share! This shows its development trend and influence.
Bosch Rexroth was born from the strong combination of Bosch and Rexroth, which is the vane of the global hydraulic industry. Bosch is dedicated to provide safe, accurate, efficient and cost-effective transmission and control technology for all kinds of mechanical equipment and system. It is able to offer customized system solutions and services for customers in the field of walking machinery, mechanical applications and engineering, factory automation and renewable energy. At the same time，it can provide all kinds of hydraulic, electric drives and controls, pneumatic, gear, linear motion and assembly technology. The company's hydraulic products are divided into industrial hydraulic products and walking hydraulic products.
Bosch Group and Bosch Rexroth are important initiators of Germany's industry 4.0 strategy. Bosch Rexroth is a leading practitioner and excellent supplier in the field of Industry 4.0, providing open core Engineering (OCE) and other intelligent solutions. In the hydraulic industry, the company is one of the few enterprises that do technology integration.
Eaton is one of the world's leading power management companies, comprising two business groups: the Electrical group and the Industrial Group. Eaton is the world's leading supplier of hydraulic power generation and fluid distribution components and systems with a wide range of hydraulic products. Meanwhile, it has customers worldwide. Eaton Industries earned 53% of its revenue from exports in 2016. Eaton's hydraulic products are mainly used in agricultural machinery, construction machinery and aerospace, the first two of which belong to the mobile equipment sector of the hydraulic group while the latter belongs to the space group. In 2016, mobile equipment revenue accounted for 64.5% of Eaton Hydraulic Group's revenue, and the top three customers of the group accounted for 11% of the hydraulic revenue.
The secret of Eaton's success lies in the combination of purposeful acquisition and successful integration. From 2000 to 2015, Eaton Group conducted 65 mergers and acquisitions worldwide in total.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries was founded in 1878, with shipbuilding industry as its main business at the very beginning. Up to now, Kawasaki has been involved in a number of heavy industry product markets, including industrial equipment, hydraulic equipment, intelligent machinery equipment and so on.
Kawasaki first entered the hydraulic field in 1916 by purchasing British technology to produce the Hele-Shaw electro-hydraulic steering machine for use on ships. Up to now, the company has 7 business divisions. The company's hydraulic business is carried in precision machinery company. Heavy Industries precision machinery division had a revenue of 155.3 billion yen (about 1.4 billion US dollars) in 2016, accounting for 10.2% of Kawasaki Heavy Industries' total revenue.
In 2012, Kawasaki had a 31.9% market share in the Japanese hydraulic industry. Kawasaki Heavy Industry hydraulic components was mainly applied to hydraulic excavators maintain and this maintained a high share in excavator market. From the second half of 2016, China's construction machinery continued to recover. From January to July of 2017, the sales volume of Excavators in China totaled 82,724 units, with a year-on-year increase of 101%, which was 61% of the sales volume in the same period of 2011.
