According to Marketwatch.com and SandlerResearch.org, the machining center market will surpass $5 Billion by 2020.

As manufacturing in North America becomes more complex, requiring multi-axis machining solutions, Matsuura is the preeminent solutions provider.  While most industries maintain a higher part mix and smaller batch production, reduction of inventory is an imperative initiative. Additionally, with pressure on pricing and margins, customers realize they must discover methods to reduce labor costs.

The analysts forecast global machining center market to grow at a CAGR of 5.68% during the period 2016-2020. According to the machining center market report, growing demand for fabricated metal products will be a key driver for market growth. The global fabricated metal products market was valued at $1.81 trillion in 2015 and will likely reach $2.35 trillion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 5.36%. The US accounted for almost 20% of the entire global fabrication metal product market. There is an increase in the demand for US-manufactured fabricated metal products worldwide. For example, Mexico, Canada, and China rely heavily on the US for the supply of fabricated metals. Increased fabricated metal production in the country is leading to rising domestic demand for machine tools.

According to machining center market research and analysis, the automotive industry accounted for more than 41% of the total market shares and dominated the industry during 2015. This industry uses machining centers in various metal processing operations like cutting, drilling, and surface cleaning of the metal sheets used in the fabrication of automotive parts. The expected growth of the automotive industry all over the world, especially in the emerging markets will bolster the market’s growth prospects in the coming years.
