The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the machine tools market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the child markets. The next step was to validate these findings and assumptions and size them with industry experts across value chains through primary research. The top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation processes were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as company annual report/presentations, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors have been used to identify and collect information useful for an extensive commercial study of the global machine tools market.
Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring an understanding of the machine tools market scenarios through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand (country-level government associations, trade associations, institutes, R&D centers, and machine tools manufacturers) and supply (machine tools manufacturers, machine tools component manufacturers, and raw material suppliers) sides across four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW. Approximately 24% and 76% of primary interviews were conducted from the demand and supply sides, respectively. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.
In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in the report. After interacting with industry experts, brief sessions were conducted with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from primaries. This, along with in-house subject-matter experts’ opinions, led to the findings described in the remainder of this report.

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:

After arriving at the overall market size- using the market estimation processes as explained above- the market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides.
According to ISO standards, a “machine tool is a mechanical device, which is fixed and powered, typically used to process workpieces by selective removal/addition of material or mechanical deformation. Machine tools operation can be mechanical, controlled by humans or by computers”. There is a great variety of metalworking machine tools: milling machines, lathes, sheet metal forming machines, EDM machines and additive manufacturing machines are just some examples. Stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and copper are some of the main metals processed by these machine tools. In addition, to manufacture components for key industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy and medical technology, machine tools enable the production of all the other machines, including themselves.
