India Lathe Machines Market Analysis
The Indian lathe machines market was valued at USD 16.97 million the previous year. It is expected to reach USD 37.81 million over the forecast period, registering a CAGR of 13.43%.
The growing demand for advanced technology-enabled lathe machines in the manufacturing industry drives market growth.
- The need for electric vehicles and consumer electronics has skyrocketed in recent years, which created demand for advanced machine tools across the industry. As the world's manufacturing industry continues to grow, so does the need for machine tools such as the Swiss Type Automatic Lathe Machine to manufacture finished products. As manufacturing processes become more advanced, the need for high-end machine tools with greater accuracy and precision increases.
- Swiss-type lathes are typically more flexible, productive, and accurate than traditional lathes. The first use of Swiss-type machines was in the production of watch parts. Today, Swiss-type machines are used by companies in defense, medical devices, aerospace, electronics, and other industries. Swiss-type automatic lathes produce hydraulic valve parts, medical implants, miniature electronic connectors, watch parts, shafts, musical instrument posts, and more.
- The machine tools industry has been significantly impacted by the emergence of new technologies, including automation, AI, and robotics. These new technologies have improved productivity, increased precision, and decreased labor costs, making machine tools more widely used in many end-user industries. For instance, India stands out as a nation committed to embracing robotic solutions. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the sales of industrial robots in India achieved an unprecedented milestone in 2021, with a staggering installation of 4,945 units. This represents a remarkable 54% growth compared to 2020, which witnessed the installation of 3,215 units. Such factors are driving opportunities for key vendors in the region.
- A significantly high initial investment is required to deploy automatic lathe machines in manufacturing facilities as required by different industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, IT and telecommunication, and aerospace and defense. This is restricting the growth of the lathe machine market.
- India recovered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of FY22 and is on track to return to the growth trajectory it had before the pandemic. As per the Economic Survey, India's nominal GDP was estimated at USD 3.5 trillion as of March 2023.
