Electric vehicles, additive machining and shifting workpiece materials create rippling impacts.
The global machining and tooling industry continues to feel recovery pressures from world events, economic control measures and the lingering effects from the industrial slowdown. Yet, although many factors play heavily into the reshaping of the market, certain sectors and competitors are showing above average growth.
In 2022, the global market for cutting tools grew by 6.4%. Although this remains lower than the 2019 peak, the global market will continue to show steady growth over the next several years.
Key trends affecting demand levels for metal cutting tools include the growing markets for electric vehicles – particularly across the APAC countries – and the widening use of additive manufacturing across industries. These disruptive elements are creating downward pressure on demand for traditional metal cutting techniques, yet more refined metal cutting tools and machines continue to drive the market in other sectors.
With background research on over 200 companies, the report also includes extensive information on the competitive environment. It details how manufacturers – from larger players like Sandvik, Iscar, Kennametal, and Mitsubishi to small regional players – are overcoming a slow market to achieve above average growth through aggressive mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategies as well as focused organic growth.
Based on the company’s 20-year history of covering cutting tools, the report’s scope includes consumption value by year on over 20 regions/countries and 20 end-user industries (e.g., automotive, aerospace, automation, energy etc.) within each country. Data is broken down by country, product type (milling, turning, drilling, other), end-user demand, grade (e.g., tungsten carbide, diamond, cbn, ceramic, HSS), and indexable versus solid tools. This comprehensive four-volume, 400-page report has over 300 tables and graphs.
Dedalus Consulting (www.dedalusconsulting.com) has recently published Cutting Tools: World Markets, End-Users & Competitors: 2021-2027 Analysis & Forecasts, the completely updated 10th edition of Dedalus’ in-depth research on the global cutting tools industry.
