This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Systems Market Research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The research is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.
Demand for Operational Efficiency Boosts the Market for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Systems
After 2 years of deceleration, the Computer Numerical Control Systems market has rebounded. As a smart multi-axis, multi-function, coordinated motion control system used for precision contouring, CNCs can work with a variety of materials in a wide range of industries. The largest customers for CNCs are machine builders, but end users also purchase CNCs, often based on different criteria. This report is an effective planning guide for CNC systems suppliers and new entrants to this business and to provide strategic information to lower the risks in making decisions. While it aims to assist suppliers in their business plans for marketing and development, it also helps users and CNC machinery manufacturers in their purchase decisions through an in-depth analysis of the CNC systems business.
Computer Numerical Controls (CNC) Strategic Trends
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Computer Numerical Control Systems market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Diversify to Overcome the Swings in the Market
Machine tool manufacturers that are not aiming at only one end user market are better positioned when downturns in end user industries impact the demand for new machine tools. Automotive is the biggest customer of machine tools, but the industry also often reacts heavily during economic crises. The aerospace & defense industry is not as volatile to market dynamics because projects usually last over a decade, which results in more stability in strategic planning and equipment expenditures.
The electronics and furniture fabrication industries also use machine tools. While electronics usually have investment cycles that are dependent on new technologies, the furniture fabrication industry applies machine tools to increase output volumes and offer new products.
Offer Smaller Footprint Machinery
Offering smaller footprint machinery while providing big capacity, productivity, and user flexibility is a key strategy to enter new markets such as in the electronics industry or medical equipment manufacturing. Often, they are multi-billion-dollar companies with huge plants, where the reduction of space is important for these companies, and a reduced footprint of machines is a significant selling point.
Use OPC UA for Cloud Connection
OPC UA has become a technology of choice for linking to a cloud platform, and most suppliers and OEMs support this protocol. There is already a wide range of products out there that supports it, including barcode readers.
Use Digital Twin or Virtualization as a Booster for Time-to-Consumer
Virtualization with digital twins enables the OEM to provide complete information about the whole production process before the machine is commissioned to the end users. Commissioning time is reduced to a minimum, with few or no substandard products.
