Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are computer-controlled machine tools used in manufacturing industries for machining metallic and non-metallic materials through tools like lathes, mills, routers, grinders and laser cutters. CNC machines enable mass production of components with high precision and accuracy by reading coded programmed instructions. They are widely used in automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery and consumer electronics for machining of engine components, aircraft parts, medical equipment and electronic devices.

The global Computer Numerical Control Machine Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 73.24 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.7% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:
One of the key drivers for the growth of the Computer Numerical Control Machine Market is the rising demand from the automotive and aerospace industries. CNC machines allow mass production of components with intricate designs and tighter tolerances which is fuelling their adoption in the automotive sector for manufacturing engine blocks, transmission components and other spare parts. They also enable machining of lightweight and high strength aircraft components with complex geometries required by the aerospace industry. Moreover, the ability of CNC machines to carry out multi-axis machining operations has increased their preference over conventional machine tools. This has further boosted their demand across industries. However, the high initial investment cost associated with CNC machines is a major challenge for small and medium enterprises.
