The metalworking machinery industry is one of the most vital and innovative sectors in the manufacturing economy. It produces a wide range of equipment, tools, and systems for cutting, shaping, forming, and joining metals. These products are used by various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, construction, energy, and defense.

The industry has faced many challenge in the past several years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages. Despite these difficulties, the industry has shown resilience and growth, as demand for new equipment has increased both domestically and globally.

 According to the latest forecasts, the metalworking machinery industry is expected to see significant growth in the coming years. Here are some key projections for 2024:

  • U.S. Market Revenue: The revenue of the metalworking machinery manufacturing industry in the U.S. is projected to amount to approximately $33.853 billion by 2024.
  • Market Trends: The U.S. metalworking economy, although previously robust, has softened in recent months. However, the overall outlook remains strong. Even a possible 2023 recession does not appear to be an obstacle to continued growth over the next few years. According to Pat McGibbon, chief knowledge officer of AMT – The Association for Manufacturing Technology, "Next year we will be down in the first half and likely see modest improvement in the second half of 23 through most of 2024."
  • Sheet Metal Fabrication Services: Aided by the deployment of cobots (collaborative robots) in metal manufacturing facilities, the market is expected to witness a moderate growth in the forecast period of 2024-2032, growing at a CAGR of 2%.

These projections indicate a promising future for the metalworking machinery industry, with opportunities for innovation and expansion.
