In the year 2012 the hydraulic thermoplastic hose and couplings market was estimated to be at 0.5 billion USD and according to recent reports it is estimated to grow at a CAGR rate of 4.46% going forward. It has been predicted that by the end of 2022 the industry will meet a revenue of about 0.8 billion USD.

According to the EEF Manufacturing Outlook Survey – the first of the year – improvements can be expected in UK manufacturing. This is following on from the sector having a difficult period in recent years, with output at one of the lowest points in 6 years during the final quarter period of 2015. However, in the first quarter of this year manufacturing output has since risen and is anticipated to be part of a positive trend of further growth. This means particularly big things for air and water hose, with many manufactured in the UK as well as required in the manufacturing industry themselves.

Recent reports have highlighted that the rising prices of car insurance premiums are not only impacting a number of drivers in the UK, but those involved in servicing cars too. At the end of 2015, premiums increased by 7pc or an average of £43 – which has even dissuaded some people from driving. This has an impact on other industries, including the auto-repair and pneumatic sectors. It is thought, going forward, that a way of reducing the bigger business impact of price rises is to encourage more affordable equipment across the auto industry; it is thought that this will help drive repair pries down too and in turn prevent further insurance cost rises.

According to recent research carried out by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and almost 2,000 householders involved in a survey, home owners are facing high costs every year in order to address DIY projects of their own which have gone wrong. One in five of the people involved admitted that their attempts at home improvement had been disastrous and an anticipated big reason behind this is due to poor equipment. The research is therefore expected to encourage a better focus on quality resources, something industry expert The Hosemaster was keen to comment on.

Britain's growing population seems to be accompanied with a growing demand for personal transport – with the Royal Academy of Engineering revealing figures which show the number of vehicles on the roads is set to increase significantly over the next quarter of a century. An increase of 55% is expected over the space of 25 years; which means that infrastructure and services will also be under pressure to expand in order to cater to this rising volume.

Recent progress in America especially, has emphasized the importance of effective hydraulic and pneumatic systems in the latest research – which involves developing robots, exoskeletons and even military robots.

Leading supplier of hose parts and other industry related equipment, The Hosemaster, have recently commented on the news, which saw a woman saved from her car thanks to hose wielding neighbours, before the fire could get to her.

Leading supplier of professional tools and supplies, The Hosemaster, have recently commented on the fires in Okanogan Country, which saw a group of neighbors unite and fight the fires with their own hose pipes while waiting for the fire brigade to arrive.

A recent article in The Daily Telegraph has highlighted the importance of hose irrigation of garden spaces in the summer, written by the BBC Gardeners World presenter Tony Buckland. The article itself emphasizes the importance of garden and outdoor upkeep in the summer months, especially for those people who have a garden containing live vegetation - whether grass or other plants. Dry weather and higher temperatures often result in people watering their gardens in abundance, in an attempt to avoid the spoiling of foliage.

Researchers have found that the majority of men knowingly procrastinate on DIY jobs, admitting that they make excuses for doing so. The top excuses offered by participants in the study for this, included the feeling that they did not possess the practical skill, confidence or motivation to complete DIY tasks. With a proportion even admitted that they left tasks incomplete in the hopes that their partners would call in professional tradesmen. The survey of 1,000 men found a reluctance on their part to involve themselves in DIY work around the house, with many suggesting their fathers knew much more than they did.
