According to Business Market Insights research, the Europe metal processing machines market was valued at US$ 8,200.42 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 11,260.37 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.6% from 2023 to 2030. Growing demand in automotive and aerospace industries and increasing government spending on military reinforcement are the critical factors attributed to the Europe metal processing machines market expansion.
The importance of efficient and cost-effective manufacturing solutions is increasing with the rise in demand for metal products across various industries. Automated fabrication processes and robotics offer several advantages over traditional manual manufacturing methods. Automated fabrication processes can streamline the metal processing workflow by integrating computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. These systems allow manufacturers to automate tasks such as cutting, bending, welding, and finishing, reducing the need for manual laborers and improving overall efficiency. Automated processes can also enhance product quality by reducing errors and inconsistencies with manual production. In 2022, TRUMPF launched a new automated loading solution in collaboration with STOPA for laser tube cutting machines. This solution would help TRUMPF to automatically transfer tubes from a storage system to a tube-cutting machine. Automating such processes also allows enterprises to reduce nonproductive time, which results in enhanced overall productivity.
In addition to automated fabrication processes, the use of robotics in metal processing operations has gained significant attention in recent years. Robots can perform various tasks from handling raw materials to finishing and packaging final products. They can work around the clock, improving productivity and reducing lead times. Furthermore, robots offer greater precision, accuracy, and repeatability than manual workers, leading to higher product quality and consistency. In 2020, Shape Process Automation partnered with TRUMPF and FANUC Robotics. This collaboration is expected to bring expertise into the company in robotics laser cutting systems. Technological developments in robotics allow companies to achieve cutting precision, cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement. Companies such as Ford, Boeing, Airbus, Toyota, Caterpillar, Apple, and Samsung have managed to enhance their productivity with such advancements in metal processing operations. Thus, the adoption of automated fabrication processes and the use of robotics presents significant opportunities for the growth of the Europe metal processing machine market.
