Complex machining motions are essential during the production process by multiple applications. This will contribute to the dominance of the Vertical Milling Machine in the overall milling machines market. Applications such as precision engineering, automotive, and general machinery, contribute to more than fifty percent market share and therefore are expected to have a steady impact on the Vertical Milling Machine market growth during the forecast period.

MARKET TRENDS

Increasing Installation of Multiple Axis for Movements to Achieve Complex Machining Motion

Initially, the standard vertical mills came with 1 or 2 axes options of movement, which limit the use of the machines to certain application. To overcome this challenge, contemporary models are installed with multiple axes options enhancing the use-case of the tools.  Furthermore, the multiple axis options have provided prospects for the milling machines to operate on critical irregular, curved, and angular surfaces. This has resulted in increased use of milling machines in various industries such as precision engineering, electronics, etc.

MARKET DRIVERS

Adoption of Automation & Industry 4.0 for Continuous and Efficient Production Process is Expected to Drive the Market

The manufacturing industries are going through a revolutionary phase, with the adoption of automated processes and industry 4.0 to endure the increasing demand from end users. This has made the companies install advanced machines for the continuous and efficient production process. These machines enable the manufacturing process to be smooth, well organized, time-saving, and fewer human errors. Vertical Milling Machines are such examples that allow the companies to perform milling operations on different kinds of surfaces. These milling processes involve activities such as chamfering, turning, gear cutting, filleting, etc. Hence, with these transformation going in the industries, the market growth of Vertical Milling Machine is expected to be steady in the coming years.

MARKET RESTRAINT

Cost Involved in Maintenance & Retrofitting of Accessories after Installation is Restricting the Market Growth

The cost involved in the purchase of Vertical Milling Machine is closely related to its accessories and configuration. This includes the cost of parts, setup, software packages to create designs installation durations, and training cost. Various medium and small industries purchase these machines without considering the regularity of the use. They do not consider this aspect and look for tools with minimized requirements, thus resulting in frequent wear and tear of the machines.

Moreover, once the machines are installed, it becomes a frantic task to have some additional accessory or function that can be performed by the devices. Hence, this restricts the use of Vertical Milling Machine for some of the industries.

SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis

Turret Mills Sub-Segment Accounts for a Significant Share

The market Vertical Milling Machine is categorized based on type, namely turret mills, bed mills & others. Among them, the turret vertical mills segment is estimated to hold a significant portion of the market share, owing to its design and application. In turret mills, the spindle of the machines does not move while its operating, but the table moves perpendicularly or parallel to do the cutting job.

On the other hand, bed mills hold the highest market share. The operation process of the bed mills has a spindle that runs in parallel to the perpendicularly moving table. Other mills that are included in the scope are mill drills, drill presses. These types of mills are comparatively compact in sizes, hence are installed and operated by small and medium scale industries.

By Application Analysis

Precision Engineering Segment is Expected to Exhibit the Highest CAGR

Based on applications, the global Vertical Milling Machine market scope is categorized into automotive, general machinery, precision engineering, transport machinery & others. Precision engineering is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to its increasing adoption in emerging economies of various regions, including the Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. Furthermore, the automotive and general machinery segment together is expected to share more than 50% of the market. The use of milling machines in both applications is rising with increasing end-user demand for electronics and automobiles. Additionally, transport machinery is expected to exhibit a steady growth rate during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand from the supply chain & logistics industry. Other applications included the scope of the study applications such as aerospace, shipping, etc.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The market of Vertical Milling Machine is further studied among all regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Wherein Asia Pacific held the largest share in 2018 and is estimated to be a prominent contributor to the growth. Additionally, the region will have a significant impact, as there is a high concentration of manufacturing industries in countries such as China, Japan, India, South Korea, etc. Furthermore, factors such as increased awareness about energy-efficient production process rise in economically developing countries, and rapid industrialization are fueling the Vertical Milling Machine market growth. Additionally, key manufacturers are focusing on establishing their manufacturing facilities in the Asia Pacific region as it provides low-cost labor, land, and expenses.

Europe Vertical Milling Machine market is anticipated to witness significant growth compared to North America, MEA, and LATAM. The region focuses on using Vertical Milling Machine that are energy efficient and technologically equipped during the production process for various applications. Moreover, increased demand in manufacturing and processing operations is subsequently fueling the demand in the Europe. Furthermore, North America is expected to showcase stagnant growth during the forecast period, owing to the reduced use of the machines for industrial applications. Vertical milling machines are used to manufacture products with reduced thermal & mechanical effects, hence used in advanced industries such as aerospace and automobile industry. Manufacturers are intensifying their business line in the developing region by focusing on having their manufacturing facility along with mergers and acquisitions.

The Middle East & Africa and Latin America are expected to grow at a slower rate during the forecast period. The slow growth is owed to the growth of the manufacturing sector, along with that the companies are focusing on shifting their manufacturing facilities in either the Asia Pacific or Europe.
