The global computer numerical control (CNC) machine market was valued at USD 64.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period. CNC machines control the directional movement of tools and accompanying machinery through pre-programmed software. The CNC machines comprise a microcomputer which is the controller unit. The microcontroller accepts instructions in the form of inputs given from a small board. The devices that fall under its ambit include lathe, milling, drilling, laser, grinding, drilling, winding, and welding. CNC machines are employed widely in automobiles, aerospace, defense, healthcare, electronics, mining, and transportation.

The computer numerical control (CNC) machine market is anticipated to pursue strong growth during the forecast period because technological advancements in the production stream lead to less time to complete the job and finesse to produce components with finer surface finish. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) technology has made them automated and user-friendly to notify operators of the status of their PCs or smartphones.
Introducing a new and helpful premise that performs multiple operations such as drilling, cutting, grinding, turning, and facing reduces the need for intervention by attendants and human glitches. The new models are compact and space-saving, requiring less floor space than traditional machinery. This proves instrumental in the growth of the CNC machines market through disadvantages, including the cost of maintenance, which adds a new dimension to human-machine interdependence.
CNC machines are used in automotive, aerospace and defense, power and energy, construction equipment, industrial, and various other sectors. An effort to lower expenditure incurred by operators to manage machinery is one big reason for the growth of CNC machines over the forecast period.
The COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant negative impact on global manufacturing. The machine tool sector also struggles with several issues due to the epidemic. Unexpected factory closures, problems with the supply chain, a labour shortage, and other factors are these difficulties. Yet because the market's recovery phase is so important, manufacturers are working extremely hard to get things back to normal after Q4 2020.
However, due to the decline of these industries, manufacturers are presently experiencing difficulties with sales across various industries, including automotive, construction, aerospace and military, power, and others. Contrarily, the need for machines in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries has suddenly increased. To counteract COVID-19, Australian Numerical Control and Automation Pty Ltd (ANCA), a company noted for its precision cutting tools, concentrated on delivering ventilator components in May 2020.

Growth Drivers
Due to the growth in demand for real-time information access, manufacturers are rapidly integrating the Internet of Things into their manufacturing processes. This element would enhance output, safety, manufacturing innovation, and downtime expenses. For instance, In April 2020, Zyfra unveiled a cloud-based variation of their MDCplus machine monitoring system as a remote Internet of Things (IoT) innovation that enables remote monitoring of computerized numerical control machines that are already in India. Other anticipated market drivers are the accessibility of sensors, internet connection, and cloud computing.
The machine tool industry has been significantly impacted by process automation. Process automation is becoming more popular in the manufacturing sector as a consequence of the demand for higher service quality, efficiency, and simplicity. As a result, businesses are implementing new technologies and creating products that include them, including Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI).
For instance, JTEKT incorporates several digital technologies into its operations and outputs. To replace manual inspection, it has put in place automated inspection equipment, including image processing technology. Additionally, the business is creating Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for machine tools that include edge computing and an autonomous grinder. As a result, one of the key developments in CNC machine tool development is AI technology.
The market is primarily segmented based on type, application, and region.
