Global Metal Cutting Machine Market Size Likely to Expand at a CAGR of 6.24% By 2033

The Global Metal Cutting Machine Market was valued at USD 6.10 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 10.86 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 6.24% during the forecast period 2024 – 2033.

Metal Cutting Machine Market: Overview

Metal cutting machines are mainly used for the precision and accurate cutting and breaking of metals in various end-use applications. The growing usage of metal cutting machines in various industries, such as aerospace, military, automotive, and industrial machinery, is expected to boost overall consumption.

Various factors, such as increasing automation, the growing usage of smart manufacturing technologies, the rapidly expanding building and construction industry, and the growing usage of metal-cutting machines in the automotive industry, is mainly driving the market’s growth.

However, factors such as the limited adaptation of metal cutting machines in many underdeveloped countries, the high cost of metal cutting machines, and the lack of skilled expertise to operate them are mainly restraining the market growth.

The growing integration of various emerging technologies in metal cutting machines is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. Key players are integrating various emerging technologies, such as smart technologies, remote control, and smart adjustment technologies, such as real-time data gathering and remote operating, to enhance the operational efficiency and productivity of these machines.

The global metal cutting machines market is segmented by product type, application, and region. By product type, laser cutting machines held the highest market share in 2023 and are expected to maintain their dominance during the forecast period owing to their higher power economy and precision than mechanical cutting.

They are effective with hard metals like steel and mild steel but not with highly reflective metals like aluminum and copper. The waterjet cutting machine product is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Waterjet cutting machines employ a mix of water, pure water, and abrasive material to cut metal sheets or plates thicker than 10 inches.

By applications, the construction application segment dominated the global metal cutting machine market and is expected to continue dominating during the forecast period owing to the rapidly expanding construction industry worldwide.

Metal cutting machines are mainly used to cut steel and shape building structures. The automotive industry is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period owing to the increasing adaptation of metal cutting machines to the cutting of interior and exterior automotive components.

By region, the Asia-Pacific region held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific metal-cutting machine market will likely expand further as the region’s industrialization accelerates and economic conditions improve, notably in China, India, and South Korea.

According to projections, Asia Pacific will remain a hub for high-tech production, notably in the aerospace, automotive, military, and electronics sectors. This is expected to drive regional market growth.  China and India presently have the largest revenue share in the Asia Pacific metal-cutting machine market, and their dominance is predicted to continue during the forecast period.

North America held the second-largest market share in 2023 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Rising construction activities, industrialization, and infrastructure spending in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are mainly driving market growth.
