Metal Cutting Tools Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The increasing demand for metal parts in major end-user industries is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as fluctuating raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Metal Cutting Tools Market Driver
The increasing demand for metal parts in major end-user industries is notably driving the metal-cutting tools market growth. Metal forming plays a crucial role in the automotive and aerospace and defense industries. Most passenger cars produced in high volumes are made of metal. Metals are the major raw materials used in these industries as they can easily be transformed and made into shapes as per the application requirements. With the current focus on lean manufacturing and enhanced operational efficiency through various measures such as cost-cutting, the metal forming process will become a highly valuable service for OEMs. Since the automotive and aerospace and defense industries are major end-users in the metal industry, increasing investments in these industries drive the global metal sawing machine market.
The aerospace and defense sector is another key end-user of metals. Companies that manufacture aircraft use specialized high-strength, lightweight alloys to manufacture aircraft components and bodies. The high focus on safety makes it necessary that even the smallest fabricated metal parts used to build aerospace components have a high tolerance and meet stringent quality standards. Besides, all metal parts used in aircraft must be durable and withstand fluctuations in pressure and temperatures, which are created during flight. The increasing investments in the automotive and aerospace and defense industry have raised the demand for metal-cutting tools.
Key Metal Cutting Tools Market Trends
The growing market for high-speed steel-cutting tools is a major trend in the metal-cutting tools market. HSS metal-cutting tools are used by companies across various sectors. Companies are using these tools for increased ease and efficiency in the development of quality products. Moreover, customers across the globe are insisting on superior-quality products in minimal time and at a reduced cost. Therefore, several organizations have begun to deploy HSS metal-cutting tools such as milling tools, drilling tools, tapping tools, reaming tools, counter-boring tools, broaching tools, and gear-cutting tools.
The effective deployment of these HSS metal-cutting tools helps in reducing the overall lead time of product development. It also enables organizations to develop products with superior quality to achieve a higher customer satisfaction level. With the growing need for the development of superior-quality products and the increase in outsourcing and investments in several developing countries, the global HSS metal-cutting tools market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period.
Key Metal Cutting Tools Market Challenge
Fluctuating raw material prices is a major challenge impeding the metal-cutting tools market growth. The capital requirement of the cutting tool manufacturers is required to provide advanced and innovative tools in the market, which has grown considerably. Inputs such as iron and steel, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, and other alloys are necessary to manufacture machine tools for drilling, boring, lathes, gear cutting, grinding, and polishing machines. These raw materials account for about 48% of the overall manufacturing cost of machine tools, while labor costs account for about 27%.
The fluctuating raw material prices disrupt the pricing strategy of machine tool manufacturers. In addition, the necessity to train the workforce increases the cost to the companies. Manufacturers also incur additional costs for hiring consultants or design specialists. All these factors add to the manufacturing costs, thus affecting the growth of the global metal-cutting tools market.
