March 2023 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Machine Tools Market Growth & Trends

The global machine tools market size is anticipated to reach USD 137.43 billion by 2030, to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increased need for higher efficiency and precision in complex machining tools, as well as lower operating costs in industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and defense, have led to an increased usage of machine tools.

The machining time is more expensive than the setup fees, material expenses, and fees for custom finishing a job or workpiece. Owing to all these advantages, manufacturers are gradually shifting toward the automation of machines to reduce time by rolling out connectivity networks and deploying the latest software. Such technological developments are anticipated to boost the sales of machine tools in the forecast period.

The machine tools products are increasingly getting complex in line with the shifting customer preferences toward higher-quality products. Hence, manufacturers are also gearing up to develop complex products and are accordingly automating their CNC machining processes to enhance product quality while reducing operating costs. For instance, in July 2020, SKODA AUTO Germany GmbH launched automated supplying and ordering of parts for CNC processing lines at its plant in Vrchlabi, Czech Republic as part of the efforts to increase the productivity of the plant.

Machine tool manufacturers are trying aggressively to develop energy-efficient tools to cater to the manufacturers’ needs to reduce operating costs while eliminating errors in manufacturing, leveraging IoT technology and predictive analytics capabilities. For instance, automotive companies are increasingly opting for CNC machining in line with the growing demand for spare parts with higher precision.

Industry 4.0 is particularly encouraging digital transformation across the entire automotive industry, spanning automotive OEMs, dealers, and suppliers, among other industry stakeholders, which bodes well for the growing demand for CNC machine tools. The motorsport industry is particularly using CNC machine tools to reduce manufacturing time and to ensure that components are manufactured flawlessly. As such, various racing car manufacturers are striking partnerships with CNC machine tool providers to manufacture precision components.

Machine Tools Market Report Highlights

  • The demand for the metal cutting type segment accounted for 77.1% of the global machine tools market revenue share in 2022. Metal workpieces are typically fabricated using metal cutting or machining methods. Growing demands for precision, service life, and machining speed have made it necessary to measure tool geometry with greater accuracy. Metal cutting machines are used to remove excess material from a workpiece by cutting or grinding.

  • The demand for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) segment accounted for an 85.8% share of the global machine tools revenue in 2022. The market for CNC machines is rapidly expanding. A powerful computer that performs millions of calculations to ensure optimal part shape controls the spindle movements. This machine, which cost several million dollars to create and makes use of advanced, proprietary mathematics, claims to be able to do previously unheard-of metal machining operations. CNC machines will become faster and simpler to use in the future owing to developments in computers and artificial intelligence.

  • The automotive end-use segment accounted for a 41.9% share of the global machine tools revenue in 2022. Production of automobiles is a multi-stage, complex process requiring high levels of performance and accuracy. Owing to the increased production of more efficient auto parts, the automotive industry has increased the requirement for machine tools. Many essential vehicle parts are created using machine tools in the automotive industry such as windscreens, body sheets, door panels, and other internal and external automotive parts are produced.

  • Asia Pacific accounted for 55.0% of the global machine tools revenue share in 2022. The rising automotive and manufacturing industry that are accelerating the product penetration in the region. China is anticipated to emerge as one of the most promising markets in Asia Pacific due to favorable government support to promote investments in manufacturing sectors. Population growth, rapid urbanization, and rising disposable incomes of the population have played an important role in developing the automobile and construction sectors in the country.

  • In August 2022, CHIRON Group purchased HSTEC, a fixture and spindle specialist in Croatia. The CHIRON Group is strengthening its three areas of expertise and expanding its capabilities with the acquisition of the main components, motor spindles, and turning spindles for the Group's machining centers.
