The Global Die-Cutting Machine Market was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach USD 3 billion by 2035.

The market is evolving as die-cutting machines transition from traditional mechanical tools to advanced, intelligent systems that support modern manufacturing. Automation is driving this growth, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher precision, faster production speeds, and reduced dependence on labor. The rise of e-commerce has further accelerated the adoption of die-cutting technologies, as businesses need efficient ways to produce high-quality, protective, and visually appealing packaging. Sustainability is also influencing the market, with manufacturers designing machines to meet global environmental standards while improving energy efficiency and reducing waste. The integration of IoT and digital controls is helping companies optimize production, minimize errors, and increase overall operational efficiency, positioning die-cutting machines as essential tools in contemporary industrial workflows.

The rotary die-cutting machines segment held a 39% share in 2024. Their popularity stems from their ability to cut materials continuously at high speeds, a critical requirement in mass production industries such as packaging and labeling. Unlike flatbed cutters, rotary machines process materials in motion, improving efficiency and throughput for large-scale operations.

The packaging industry accounted for a 25% share in 2025, generating USD 500 million. The sector’s reliance on precise cutting for boxes, cartons, labels, and flexible packaging drives the demand for advanced die-cutting machines. Growth in e-commerce and consumer goods continues to push companies toward innovative packaging solutions that enhance product appeal and boost sales.

U.S. Die-Cutting Machine Market generated USD 360° million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% through 2035. Strong demand from the packaging, printing, and automotive industries, coupled with rapid growth in e-commerce and consumer products, is driving investments in automated and high-speed machinery. U.S. manufacturers are increasingly adopting digital controls and IoT-enabled systems to enhance productivity, reduce waste, and stay competitive.
