The machinery market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been robust growth in the machinery market size in the past few years. It is projected to expand from $3761.53 billion in 2024 to $4044.79 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include industrialization and economic progress, an emphasis on precision and accuracy, global trade and globalization, rising labor expenses, and an increased consumer demand for efficiency.
The machinery market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the machinery market is predicted to expand significantly in the coming years, reaching $5247.52 billion in 2029 with a 6.7% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). This expected uplift during the forecast period could be due to an increase in eco-friendly and sustainable machinery, global supply chain issues, the movement towards a circular economy, cybersecurity efforts, as well as remote monitoring and upkeep of systems. Furthermore, resilience and disaster readiness are factors that contribute to this estimated growth. Key trends forecasted for the same period include digital transformation, autonomous machinery, customization and modular design, cooperation between humans and machines, and the use of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.
The prediction is that rapid progression in technology will be a key factor in boosting machinery manufacturing and subsequently, the market in the forecast period. Techniques like 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics are finding applications in manufacturing, leading to an increase in productivity, reduced operating expenses, and enhanced profits. Citing a worldwide survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit, nearly 90% of high-ranking executives were of the opinion that the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) would contribute positively towards the company’s expansion, while 86% agreed that it would augment productivity levels. Companies can expand their product range and venture into fresh markets using the investments accrued from reduced operating costs leading to better margins. Additionally, IoT applications are being merged with these devices to facilitate services such as remote monitoring and centralized feedback systems, in addition to other provisions. The availability of mobile applications, high tech sensors, and embedded software has opened new doors for companies in this market. These elements are anticipated to propel the machinery manufacturing market in the forecast period.
