There has been a significant investment in R&D in the market which is resulting in advances in machine tools, especially CNC machines. The main advantage of CNC machines is that they are highly productive and efficient and facilitate the incorporation of new technologies. There is an increasing adoption of automation in manufacturing operations due to the increasing demand for high-quality products across all industries.
Moreover, there is a growing trend of businesses and investors investing in process automation within the machine tools industry. This includes the increasing adoption of numerical control (NC) and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, replacing manually controlled tools, particularly in small- and medium-scale industries. This shift towards automation is expected to minimize human intervention while significantly enhancing the productivity of bending machines and other machine tools. As industries seek greater efficiency and precision in manufacturing processes, automation plays a crucial role in meeting these demands. These advancements are anticipated to drive substantial market growth in the coming years, aligning with the evolving needs of modern industrial sectors for advanced, automated solutions in bending and other machining operations.
The advancement of technology in the market is resulting in the development of innovative, efficient, easy-to-operate, and time-saving machine tools. There has been a significant revolution in the manufacturing industry with the advent of electrical discharge machines, and ultrasonic, and electronic beam technologies.
Moreover, several companies are launching equipment that showcases improved operational capabilities than conventional machines. Additionally, there are significant innovations in both hardware and software applications that will positively impact the market. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
It has become essential for manufacturers of metal forming machine tools and related accessories to provide specific solutions to fulfill the needs of customers. As a result, there is a significant increase in the capital requirement of these manufacturers. Some of the key raw materials that are used in the manufacturing of these machine tools and their accessories include materials such as steel and iron, aluminum, titanium, copper, brass, and other alloys.
Moreover, these raw materials add to the 8% of the overall production cost of the machine tools whereas labor costs only contribute 27%. Some of the primary raw materials that are used for the preparation of steel include iron ore and steel scrap. However, the demand for steel scrap is highly influenced by the price volatility of iron ore. Hence, factors such as a large share of the cost of raw materials in the total manufacturing cost of machine tools, and the fluctuation in raw material prices disrupt the pricing strategy of machine tool manufacturers and negatively impact the market. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The automotive segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The automotive segment comprises passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and others (including buses and coaches). The key driving factors for the automotive segment are low-interest rates and low fuel prices. Technavio anticipates that Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, and Japan will put forth substantial investments during the forecast period toward acquiring evolving technologies, especially for manufacturing processes.
