1. Machine Tool Demand Trends Driven by the Automotive Industry
Intelligent and automated technologies drive machine tool demand changes in the automotive industry. With Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing development, European and American automakers are upgrading production line automation. McKinsey reports that by 2024, their automated production line coverage will hit about 45%, rising to 65% by 2030.
This transformation requires smarter machine tools (with intelligent control, remote monitoring). Demand for high-end equipment like 5-axis CNC machine tools is surging. The 5-axis CNC market will grow from $3B in 2024 to $5.5B in 2030, an 8.2% annual increase.
From 2025-2030, European and American automotive machine tool demand will trend toward diversification, high-endization and greenization—driven by auto electrification, smart tech and sustainability. For manufacturers, seizing these opportunities via innovation is key to growth in the machine tool market.
2. Characteristics of Machine Tool Demand in the Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry demands highly professional, precise and high-value machine tools—this will strengthen in 5 years. Global aerospace will grow 7.5% annually (2025-2030), reaching $1.2T by 2030.
Aerospace growth comes from commercial aviation expansion, UAV application and new aircraft R&D. This boosts demand for high-performance machine tools, especially those for extreme conditions. Such demands will upgrade the Europe and America machine tool market, making industry demand alignment a core competitiveness.
