SINGAPORE, March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The growing purchasing power of middle-class consumers in Asia has led to an increase in spending on consumer goods. In a rush to meet the escalating demand, manufacturers catering to the APAC region are investing in new production plants and machines, creating a requirement for machine tools in the process. An analysis by Frost & Sullivan reveals that this requirement will push the Asia-Pacific machine tool market to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2018 to 2023, reaching $10.5 billion in revenue.

"Business expansion strategies and plant localization of end-user industries are set to drive the growth of the machine tool industry in the APAC region," said Divya Saiprasad, Principal Consultant, Industrials at Frost & Sullivan.  "The rise in demand for machine tools can be attributed to the increase in the production of auto components and growth of the automotive industry."

Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are expected to remain the top three markets for machine tools in the region in 2023, contributing 69.5%. Additionally, emerging economies such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand are anticipated to showcase strong growth over the next three years, driven by foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow in the manufacturing sector.

"On the end-user vertical front, engineering and automotive sectors are projected to remain dominant," noted Saiprasad. "The aviation sector is also expected to further supplement the market for machine tools, given the demand from the burgeoning upper-middle-class population."

Machine tool vendors can tap into further growth by:

• Integrating new features and technologies into additive manufacturing to increase the overall efficiency of multi-tasking machine tools.
• Including new technologies such as IoT and Big Data for preventive and predictive maintenance of machines to help machine tool companies enhance their customers' rate of operations in manufacturing, thereby increasing their brand recognition in the market.
• Developing and selling smart machines equipped with AI, robots, and software technologies to expand sales and improve the productivity of customers in ASEAN countries.
• Increasing production efficiency, shortening delivery times, and maintaining price competitiveness to increase sales and improve market profitability.
