Grinding Machinery Global Market Report 2024

The grinding machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.05 billion in 2023 to $7.63 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to robust economic growth in emerging markets, an increase in construction activities, growth in the aerospace industry, heightened automotive production, and an upswing in the consumption of machine tools.

The grinding machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.37 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to rising urbanization, the expanding shipbuilding industry, and a growing demand from the mining sector. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements, the integration of automation solutions, the introduction of robotic machines, Industry 4.0 grinding solutions based on IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), product innovations, and a strategic focus on partnerships and collaborations.

The anticipated growth in the grinding machinery market is driven by the increasing prevalence of industrial automation. Industrial automation involves the control of machinery and industrial processes through autonomous systems such as robotics and computer software. This surge in industrial automation adoption is expected to drive demand for grinding machinery, as businesses seek compatible machinery with automation software and systems. A study by the Association for Advancing Automation in 2021 reported a 67% increase in global robot orders during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Consequently, the rise in industrial automation is projected to enhance the demand for grinding machinery in the forecast period.

The expanding shipbuilding industry is poised to contribute significantly to the growth of the grinding machinery market. Shipbuilding involves the manufacturing of larger vessels for military, offshore energy, or merchant fleet applications. Grinding machines find frequent use in shipbuilding applications for tasks such as weld preparation, cleaning between weld passes, and post-weld cleaning and finishing. A Congressional Budget Office analysis of the Navy’s Fiscal Year 2023 Shipbuilding Plan in the USA forecasts a total cost of shipbuilding ranging from $30 to $33 billion over the next 30 years, surpassing Navy projections by 14% to 18%. The anticipated growth in the shipbuilding industry is expected to be a driving force for the grinding machinery market.

Technological advancements are emerging as a prominent trend in the grinding machinery market, with companies incorporating innovations such as computer numerical control (CNC), laser-based sharpening, and universal grinding machines. Swiss manufacturer United Grinding Group introduced the customer-oriented revolution (C.O.R.E.) technology in December 2021, enhancing productivity, adaptability, and versatility in grinding applications.

Major companies in the grinding machinery sector are focusing on robotic grinding machines. In October 2022, Indian technology company Grind Master launched ROBOFINISH, a groundbreaking machine for the robotic grinding of large castings, setting new standards in automatic fettling and precision grinding. Grind Master's technical partnership with US-based Roberts Sinto Corporation enables the manufacture and service of machines using ROBOFINISH technology in North America.

In February 2021, Romania-based EMAG Group acquired Samputensili Machine Tools and Samputensili CLC, enhancing its position in the grinding machinery market. The merger of the acquired businesses into the newly formed EMAG technology firm, EMAG SU Srl, is expected to yield synergistic benefits, driving growth in the industry. Samputensili, based in Italy, was known for manufacturing quality gear-cutting tools, including grinding machines.
