The market is segmented into cutting and forming machines, with the cutting machine segment accounting for USD 66 billion in 2024. This segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% between 2025 and 2034, driven by the increasing need for precise metal fabrication in industries requiring tight tolerances. Cutting machines, such as laser cutting, water jet cutting, and plasma cutting, have become indispensable for metalworking industries by offering quick, cost-effective, and highly accurate production capabilities. Automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors heavily rely on these cutting-edge machines to produce components with extreme precision, ensuring seamless integration into complex systems. The continued growth of additive manufacturing and hybrid machining technologies further boosts the demand for cutting machines as manufacturers seek to enhance their production capabilities.
In terms of application, the machine tools market is predominantly driven by the metalworking segment, which held a 73.5% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% through 2034. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and defense increasingly require advanced metalworking tools to meet the growing demand for precision parts and components. Common machining operations, including milling, turning, grinding, and drilling, are vital for producing high-quality metal parts, making metalworking a cornerstone of the machine tools market. The rising adoption of industrial automation further accelerates market growth as manufacturers transition to automated processes that enhance productivity, reduce human error, and ensure consistent quality.
The Asia Pacific machine tools market held a 46.2% share and generated USD 44.8 billion in 2024. The region's dominance is attributed to its rapid industrialization and substantial growth in the manufacturing sector. Key countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India play a pivotal role in the market, with China being the largest producer and consumer of machine tools worldwide. The region's robust manufacturing base, particularly in automotive and electronics, continues to drive demand for machine tools and automation technologies. As countries in the Asia Pacific region focus on enhancing their manufacturing capabilities through technological innovation and automation, the machine tools market is expected to witness sustained growth, further strengthening the region's position as a global manufacturing hub.
