The Global Computer Numerical Control Market size was USD 90.03 billion in 2021 and it is expected to grow to USD 152.1 billion in 2030 with a CAGR of 6.89% in the 2022-2030 period.

Global CNC Machine Market: Overview
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machine is a fabrication tool that works on a specific set of digital instructions (or programs) and accordingly controls the machines in the manufacturing process. Today CNC machines are fully automatic. All they require is a set of digital instructions about cutting trajectories and tooling. There are two important parts to the machine’s operation. CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing). These are essential software packages to smoothly run the machine. The design of the parts is done in CAD software. The 3D model determines the properties and dimensions of the final products. Then comes the role of the CAM software package. First, it prepares the model for the whole production process, then checks the model of errors, and finally, it prepares a CNC program for the manufacturing of the final project. The CNC machine market is projected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period because CNC is a safe and low-cost option. Hence, there is increased demand from various application segments.
The global CNC machine market is expected to grow significantly because of a number of driving factors – greater efficiency in the design of complex machine parts, high precision, and reduced operating cost, and technological advancement in the production process. Apart from this, growth in the mass production of the products of the automobile and electrical industry further intensifies the growth of the CNC machine market. Though all things look smooth to grow there are certain restraints too. High cost of maintenance and lack of trained operators are a few to mention.

COVID-19 Impact:
COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global CNC machine market. This is because of halted manufacturing processes worldwide. This can be further clarified as there was the sudden shutdown of the manufacturing plants, coupled with the labor shortage, disruption in the supply chain, and decreased sales worldwide. Thus, as the demand for the final finished product got affected during this pandemic, the overall growth of the CNC machine market was also got affected.
CNC Machine Market Dynamics:
Driving factors:
- Greater Efficiency: CNC machines have greater efficiency in the design of complex machine parts, high precision, and reduced operating cost. These factors serve as a driver for the growth of the CNC machine market. Apart from this, the mass production of products from the automobile and electrical industry also serves as a driver.
Restraints:
- High Maintenance Cost & Lack of trained manpower: CNC machines are costlier than manual operating machines, implying that the initial cost is higher in the case of CNC machines. Also, these machines require proper maintenance and upkeep for their smooth functioning. This adds to their maintenance cost. Apart from these factors, the lack of trained manpower is an area of concern as these machines require skilled operators and machinists to handle the machines and have efficient production. The lack of skilled manpower is also a restraint.
CNC Machine Market: Opportunities
Manufacturers are relying on products that use automation technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These steps are taken in order to have a highly efficient, safer, and simplified production process. Besides, the manufacturers of CNC machines are coming up with various training and certification programs in order to bridge the skilled manpower gap.
Strong Need for CNC Equipment in the Healthcare Sector –
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a positive impact on the market because of the high demand for CNC equipment in the healthcare sector. The unexpected rise of COVID-19 infections led several businesses to employ automation. This problem enhanced the demand for technology in the healthcare sector. The pharmaceutical sector also encouraged this business since there was such a strong demand for efficient technology to deliver healthcare products and services. Rapid digitalization also promotes the usage of CNC machinery. These factors encouraged the growth of the industry throughout the pandemic.
