RESTRAINING FACTORS


Inability to Achieve Cuts at a Specific Depth Can Hinder the Market Growth


The inability to achieve cuts with precision to a specific depth is a factor inhibiting the market growth. The customized requirements of customers for molding and cutting metals would enforce the operator to cut the metal all the way through a workpiece. However, to achieve the best possible accuracy, it becomes difficult to control the timing of the motion of this machine. In such scenario, EDM and CNC punches provide more reliability and consistency. The usage of different machines and processes to manufacture a product increases the overall costing of the product, further creating a negative impact to the market growth. Moreover, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the market growth to a greater extent. The overall supply chain solutions and the sales of various industries has hampered. Also, the ongoing orders for metal fabrication and cutting have been disrupted owing to the immediate shutting down of operations across the nations. Also, this impact will sustain for a considerable period of time and is expected to slow down the waterjet cutting machine market growth.
