In 2023, the machine tools industry generated income of USD 78.8 billion in 2023, which is projected to experience a CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period, to attain USD 105.6 billion by the end of the decade. This is primarily attributable to the fact that the precision and proficiency in making are the key indicators for minimum wastage and alteration. Machine tool, which has a very high precision level, can help to avoid material wastages and cost reduction at the time of assembly of the part.
The major reason for the growth of automation and robotics in machining technologies can be identified in the weak workforce in the high-level manufacturing industry of the developed countries and greater use of these techniques in the aerospace, defense, medical device, marine and other sectors.
The progress of Industry 4.0 has conversed multiple innovations like artificial intelligence, big data, robots and automation, allowing more efficacy, productivity and flexibility across major sectors. One of the factors, which increased the use of machine tools in the metal fabrication and industrial manufacturing industries, is the growth of the pressure on manufacturers for good quality products with efficiency, sustainability and acceptable lead time and no possible errors. An example is, automotive industry introduced visual inspection system in their production, this had a great impact in PPM defects.
Key Insights
The metal cutting category held a larger market share of around 70% in 2023 globally.
Metal cutting machine tools is an important part of the industry, which includes automotive, aerospace, defense, mechanical engineering, and medical devices industries for precise shaping of metal and alloys such as iron, steel aluminum, titanium, and copper.
This category contains a huge range of different machinery like crurshers, grinding machines, turning machines, milling machine, electrical discharge machine (EDM) and many other.
Of them, milling machine markets outshine because of their capability to generate accurate cuts of metal, making them primarily engineered by manufacturers.
In contrast, the metal forming machines are used for bending, shaping, and other processes that are associated with metalworking.
The CNC category held a larger market share of around 75% in the global machine tools market in 2023 and is the fastest-growing in the automation segment.
CNC machines reduce manufacturing time and error rates by using CAD and CAM software to receive design instructions from a computer.
They are able to accomplish more tasks in one line prompt then one would be able to give. Therefore, there is a reduction in level of guided instruction.
Numerous types of production equipment like milling, grinding, turning, lathing, drilling and electrical discharge machining can be also merged with CNC technology.
Standard tools like change-handing on the lathe machine or milling with a handheld machine necessitates a higher level of expertise and may not conform to the set shape.
CNC technology is preferred over conventional machine tools for higher precision and more efficient production.
APAC held the largest revenue share in the global machine tools market in 2023 due to increasing industrialization and population growth in countries like China and India.
Competition among emerging economies to become manufacturing powerhouses, coupled with government initiatives like Make in India, Made in China 2025, and Making Indonesia 4.0, has created a favourable investment environment.
Significant growth is also observed in the IT sector of North America.
