The precision engineering machines market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the market size for precision engineering machines has experienced robust growth. The projection shows an increase from $14.59 billion in 2024 to $15.67 billion in 2025, yielding a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
This growth during the historic period was influenced by factors like the demand for consumer electronics, adherence to quality management standards, global trade and globalization, efforts towards standardization, the automobile industry, and military applications.
The precision engineering machines market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of precision engineering machines is anticipated to experience notable expansion in the upcoming years, reaching a valuation of $19.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
This estimated growth during the forecast period is due to factors such as the rise of smart factories, increased high-speed machining, emphasis on sustainable manufacturing practices, and the growing trend of customization and personalization. The key emerging trends expected during this period include downsizing and microfabrication, the integration of internet of things (iot), the increasing usage of robotics and shared automation, enhancements in precision robotics, digital twin technology, instances of hybrid machining systems and the prevalence of multi-axis machining.
Acceleration in the demand for consumer electronics is predicted to boost the evolution of the precision engineering machines industry moving forward. The term 'consumer electronics' is an umbrella descriptor for a range of electronic devices meant for everyday use by people. The adoption of precision engineering machines is on an upward trend because these machines are made to create components with high precision that adhere to strict specifications and tolerances. Such machines are vital for the smooth operation of electronic devices and systems. For example, LG Corporation, a consumer electronics and home appliances company based in South Korea, reported in its 2022 annual financial statement that it recorded revenues that surpassed $60 billion for the first time ever. This figure was up by 12.9% compared to 2021, a surge mainly due to the high demand for premium home appliances and car parts. Hence, the increasing demand for consumer electronics is fuelling the advancement of the precision engineering machines market.
