Growing per-capita income of middle-class consumers has led to a rise in spending on goods. To meet the demand and grab the opportunity in the Asian market, manufacturing industries are investing in new production plants and machines. Additionally, low-cost manufacturing competitiveness such as lower labor costs, young populations, and low cost of raw materials have pushed end-user industries to relocate their businesses to Asian countries which will also lead to rapid increase in the demand for machine tools. Government initiatives to expand the economy and launch of new roadmaps to support innovation in the manufacturing sector will also drive the demand.

Moreover, with intense competition in the market, machine tool consumers are looking for more accuracy and precision to produce mass goods with minimum efforts. Understanding this necessity of their customers, machine tool manufacturers are producing machine tools. Machine tool manufacturing companies are manufacturing tools that are reducing production lead times significantly.

Factors limiting the growth of machine tools are high prices, adoption of used machine tool products, absence of skilled workforces, and dependency on capital expenditure from manufacturing industries.
