Laser cutting machines accounted for 61.6% global revenue share in 2019. The laser cutting machine was the market leader and accounted for 61.6% of global revenue share in 2019. Laser-cutting machines have many advantages including speed, precision, repeatability, high quality, and flexibility.
Plasma cutting machines use an electric arc to heat and ionize the gas in order to create a plasma which is used to cut metal. The plasma cutter is capable of cutting a variety of electrically conductive metals, including stainless steel, aluminum and titanium. These machines produce higher-quality cuts at a faster rate than flame cutting machines.
Over the forecast period, the flame cutting machine product segment will experience an estimated 4.3% CAGR. Flame cutting machine is also known as the Oxy-fuel cutting machine. It works by using the thermo-chemical process which requires high heat and pure oxygen. This machine cuts metal by burning it or oxidizing, so its use is limited to steel and other ferrous materials that can support the oxidizing process.
Waterjet cutters cut metal at high speeds using a pressure stream and high speed. These systems use a high-pressure pump to force water through the waterjet cutting head. An abrasive is often added to water in order to improve its cutting ability for harder materials like metals. This is a nonthermal process. The water cools the metal while it cuts, so there is no heat to affect the metal's chemical or mechanical properties.
The market leader in the automotive sector accounted for 26.1% global revenue share in 2019. This is due to the extensive use of the product in cutting various interior and exterior components of automobiles such as passenger cars and SUVs. These machines can also be used to make components such as carpets, weather stripping, door panels, and chassis.
Metal cutting machines play an important role in the production of aerospace and defense components and equipment. They are used to produce engine parts, engine parts, ignitors and rotary blades as well as composites. Over the forecast period, metal cutting machines will be in high demand due to the increasing use of automation and efficiency measures to lower overhead costs in the aerospace and defense industries.
Over the forecast period, electronics and electrical applications will grow at a 5.8% CAGR. The laser category of metal cutting machines is widely used to produce high-precision, superior-edge quality, high-dimensional components. They can cut small parts such as springs, capacitors and circuit boards with high precision.
Shipbuilding companies use metal cutting machines extensively for ship repair and equipment manufacturing in the maritime industry. This sector includes aircraft carriers, patrol boats and large seagoing vessels for containers. The metal cutting machines are used for cutting the skin of the vessel, as well as parts for hatches and stiffener plates. They also cut block parts, drains, and the skeleton.
Asia Pacific was the dominant market, accounting for 41.8% of global revenue in 2019. This is due to rapid industrialization and improving economic conditions. The region's product demand will be driven by the rising economies of South Korea, China, India and China. The Asia Pacific region is expected to continue to be a center for high-tech manufacturing, particularly in the electronics, defense, aerospace and automotive industries. This will likely fuel regional market growth.
Metal cutting machines are expected to dominate the North American market. This is due to the increasing demand from the aerospace and defense sectors. In the next few years, the manufacturing of commercial and defense aircraft will be boosted by an increase in military budget. Market growth will also be aided by the presence of major aerospace and defense players.
Over the forecast period, the European market will experience a 5.6% CAGR.
