Global Sheet Metal Equipment Market 2016-2020
From: Technavio, Elmhurst, IL/US, http://www.technavio.com
Date: Sept 2016
This report presents an analysis of the market by application (metal cutting, metal forming, and metal welding) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA). The market research analysts predict that the global sheet metal equipment market will grow steadily during the next four years and will post a CAGR of almost 7% by 2020. 
This market study predicts that in terms of geographical regions, APAC will account for the major shares of the sheet metal equipment market throughout the forecast period and also estimates that this region will account for almost 40% of the total market shares by 2020. The rise in investments in major end-user segments such as the automotive and aviation industry in the developing countries such as China and India, will drive the growth of the sheet metal tools equipment market in this region.
The recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the demand for fabricated metal products from the US. Several countries such as Mexico, Canada, and China rely heavily on the US’s supply of fabricated metals products. Though most manufacturing companies produce only a limited range of products, the requirement of fabricated metals will be considerably high from the segments such as cutlery, boiler, metal can, and springs. This will subsequently result in the increase in demand for machine tools such as sheet metal equipment from this region, in turn, fueling the growth of the sheet metal fabrication tools market.
The increased adoption of metal additive manufacturing or 3-D printing is one of the major trends that will gain traction in the sheet metal machinery market in the next four years. 3D printing reduces the number of items in the assembly line, eliminates the need for tools resulting in reduced tooling costs, allows access to complex geometries, and also enables the manufacture of lightweight and customized items, which will result in a rapid increase in their adoption.
This industry research report identifies Amada, Trumpf, DMTG, DMG Mori, and U.S. Industrial Machinery as the key vendors in the global sheet metal equipment market. The other prominent vendors in the market are Allied Machine & Engineering, Byjc-Okuma (Beijing) Machine Tools, Doosan Infracore, Fair Friend Group, FANUC, GF Machining Solutions, Haas Automation, Hardinge, JTEKT, Kennametal, Komatsu, Makino Milling Machine, and Sandvik.
