COVID-19 IMPACT


Halt on Manufacturing Industry Restrained Market Growth During COVID-19 Pandemic


The influence of the coronavirus outbreak on the market has been relatively less in the eastern countries, such as Japan, China, and South Korea, whereas the western part of the world has suffered drastically. In the short term, the major impact primarily lies due to the disruption of manufacturing activities globally. The enormity of these disruptions increases as the number of cases surges at a global level. Moreover, the impact on the manufacturing industry of metal cutting equipment will be far more extensive if the virus impacts other main industrial countries beyond India, China, and Germany. In the long term, the industries related to the application of metal cutting tools are likely to be back on track, resulting in substantial demand for machines in future.


LATEST TRENDS


Substantial Growth in Popularity of Additive Manufacturing to Boost Market Growth


The metal cutting industry was significantly affected by the halt of manufacturing during the COVID-19 pandemic. With many countries implementing lockdowns and social distancing measures, manufacturing activity was disrupted, leading to a decrease in demand for metal cutting products. Many companies in the metal cutting industry had to temporarily close their operations or reduce their capacity due to slowdown in orders, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages. This resulted in a decline in revenue and profitability for the metal cutting industry. Moreover, the uncertainty and volatility caused by the pandemic led to a decline in investments in this industry. Many businesses had to defer their capital expenditures due to the uncertain economic outlook, resulting in a further reduction in demand for metal cutting products. However, as the pandemic situation has gradually improved, manufacturing activity has picked up, leading to a recovery in demand for metal cutting products. Many metal cutting businesses have also adapted to the new normal by implementing new safety protocols, improving their digital capabilities, and exploring new markets.

DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Adoption of Industry 4.0 is Driving Market


The adoption of Industry 4.0 has had a significant impact on the metal cutting industry. In the metal cutting industry, the adoption of Industry 4.0 has led to the development of smart cutting tools that can communicate with machines, collect data, and make adjustments to optimize performance. These tools can monitor the cutting process in real-time and adjust their speed, feed, and other parameters to optimize the cutting process. This results in improved accuracy, reduced waste, and increased productivity. Additionally, Industry 4.0 has enabled manufacturers to use data analytics to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies in their production processes. This helps manufacturers to optimize their processes and identify areas where they can make improvements. The use of predictive analytics can also help manufacturers to anticipate maintenance needs, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.


Furthermore, Quality assurance plays a significant role in the manufacturing field and is directly related to the equipment used. The adoption of Industry 4.0 solutions has introduced a real-time quality assurance process through an Automated Virtual Metrology (AVM) system. The real-time quality assurance is expected to increase the penetration of metal cutting tools.


RESTRAINING FACTOR


High Initial Investment & Fluctuating Raw Material Prices to Hinder Market Growth


The high initial cost and fluctuating raw material prices can have a significant impact on the metal cutting equipment market. Metal cutting tools require advanced manufacturing processes and materials, which can result in high initial costs. As a result, customers hesitate to invest in new tools, which can slow down the market's growth. This can affect small & medium-sized businesses that may not have the financial resources to make significant capital investments. Raw material prices can fluctuate rapidly, which can have a significant impact on the metal cutting industry. When raw material prices increase, the cost of manufacturing metal cutting tools also increases, which can result in higher prices for customers. This can lead to a decrease in demand for metal cutting tools and a slowdown in the market. Fluctuating raw material prices can make it difficult for manufacturers to plan their production schedules and manage their inventory effectively. This can lead to delays in delivery times and increased costs for manufacturers, which can further impact the market's growth.
