Woodworking Machinery Market

Woodworking Machinery Market Growth Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global woodworking machinery market is valued at US$ 5.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 8 billion by 2033. This is because worldwide sales of woodworking machinery are forecasted to increase at a CAGR of 4.5% during the next 10 years. Growing use of automated woodworking equipment and precision engineering in manufacturing is expected to drive the demand for woodworking machinery.

Wood is cut, sawed, planed, or drilled using specific tools called woodworking machines in workshops to make furniture or other finished products. Small-scale commercial production facilities that are primarily focused on timber products use woodworking machines.

Woodworking machines can be divided into two groups: stationary machines, in which the material or wood is fixed and the device is moved over it to produce the desired shape; and non-stationary machines, in which the material is mobile but the machine is moved over it. A few examples of finished goods include doors, windows, slabs, and boards.

Lathes, planers, saws, and grinding machines are some of the types of woodwork machines. Global demand for planers is expected to increase at a CAGR of 5% from 2023 to 2033. Lightweight planer machines are in high demand because of their high efficiency. Compared to old planning machines, recently advanced planers are available with lots of features, and most can be operated automatically.

Advancements in the designs of planer machines are boosting sales growth. Companies with low budgets prefer to use manual planer machines. Thus, the planer being an essential machine in making wood products is utilized widely.

• Sales of wood lathe machines are predicted to increase at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period, mainly attributed to the availability of advanced CNC lathe machines and the increasing number of wood door manufacturing facilities.

A lathe is an effective instrument that can be used in numerous applications. The efficiency of this device is however influenced by several external variables, beginning with its holding capacity. It must firmly secure the work item, ideally employing some sort of vice-clamping mechanism. For accurate measurements, this needs to be calibrated.

In the next ten years, it's anticipated that developments in technologies such as next-generation computer numerical controls (CNC), breakthroughs in CNC programming, virtual reality, CNC intelligence, automation, and 3D printing would increase demand for lathe machines.

Prefabricated wooden homes are becoming widely popular. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is being heavily emphasized by manufacturers worldwide while creating wooden homes. The United States, Austria, Italy, France, and other countries are all seeing an increase in the popularity of wooden homes. Also, the growing demand for bespoke wooden items combined with a changing lifestyle is projected to fuel sales growth.

Which Factors are Positively Influencing Demand for Woodworking Devices?

“Steadily Increasing Demand for Wooden Homes”

Prefabricated wooden homes are becoming increasingly popular in the woodworking business since the reduced CO2 emissions from the timber material make them more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Prefabricated wooden homes boost production efficiency and utilize less material.

Given this, several constructors in Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Finland, etc., are actively selling prefabricated wood buildings such as bungalows, garages, storey houses, etc. The building industry is experiencing rapid economic growth in countries such as India. Thus, such aspects are generating several growth opportunities in the woodworking machinery market.

“Rising Demand for Wood CNC Machines”

Demand for woodworking power tools is increasing due to the blended alternative strategy, such as employing computerized numerical control (CNC) machines to aim for maximum precision in making superior quality wood products. Smart panel saw series and precision saws for wooden materials are offered by manufacturers such as IMA Schelling Group GmbH and Gongyou Group Co., Ltd. The manufacturers also underline the development brought about by the demand for customized timber items among several end users.

• To cut down on travel time and improve machine quality on assembly lines, Biesse Group started automating 5-axis heads in its manufacturing line in 2019.

Which Obstacles are Expected to Hinder Sales of Woodworking Machines?

“High Costs Associated With Advanced Woodworking Devices”

When handled incorrectly, traditional woodworking machinery used in the production of wooden products can be dangerous. Thus, health and safety must be prioritized in all industrial facilities. Workers' health is significantly impacted by risks such as exposure to unsafe machinery handling, sawdust, radiation, toxic coatings, and improper handling.

• Circular or table saws are involved in about 35% of accidents occurred in wood product companies, according to the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Circular saws, table saws, planer activities, and other woodworking machinery have the worst safety records for employees. Also, automated woodworking machines are costly, and thus become unaffordable for small end-use verticals to employ them. All such factors are hampering sales of woodworking equipment to some extent.

Country-wise Analysis
