The global CNC machining market size is anticipated to reach USD 130 billion by 2026. Major factors driving the growth of this market include the increase in the adoption of industrial automation in manufacturing industries and a surge in demand for mass production across the automotive industry.
Although precision and high-quality products have always been a top priority for customers, they are now seeking suppliers who are agile and resilient. The lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic has best tested and increased their importance. Owing to the numerous uncertainties and hurdles that occurred during the lockdowns, the value chains of customers were deeply affected. Furthermore, delays occurring while supplying to critical supply chains such as aerospace, medical, oil field, and energy sectors lead to detrimental effects and affect in supplying the essential commodities. With increasing commodity demands, manufacturers will have to deliver more and faster, at shorter notices. They will have to move above just managing their manufacturing capabilities to growing capabilities in inventory management.
