Waterjet Cutting Machine Market Trends

Steel is one of the most important and widely consumed raw materials in industries such as energy, construction, automotive, transportation, infrastructure, packaging, and machinery. The steel industry is showing steady growth through its sustainable performance for the last couple of decades. In the current scenario, the infrastructure development activities by various developing countries' governments are the major driving factors that are expected to boost the demand for steel fabrication over the next few years.

Additionally, Government initiatives, such as the construction of metro stations, new no-frill airports, international terminals, industry corridors, power plants, and ports, require heavy steel structures. Thus, these factors are expected to drive the growth of the waterjet cutting machine in the steel fabrication sector across the world.

For instance, global crude steel production reached 1,869.9 Million Tons (MT) for the year 2019, up by 3.4% compared to 2018. Crude steel production contracted in all regions in 2019 except in Asia and the Middle East. Furthermore, Asia produced 1,341.6 Mt of crude steel in 2019, an increase of 5.7% compared to 2018. China alone produced 996.3 Mt of crude steel in 2019, up by 8.3% from 2018. China’s share in global crude steel production increased from 50.9% in 2018 to 53.3% in 2019. These stats show the demand for the very market in the steel industry globally.

The increasing urbanization all over the world is expected to play a vital role in the expansion of the waterjet cutting industry in the future. It is also an essential material in the generation and distribution of renewable energy, such as thermal, solar, and tidal power.

On the other hand, surging inclination towards adopting environment-friendly cutting processes and practices within industries such as automotive, mining, electronics, construction, packaging, and textile are some of the key factors attributing to market growth. Furthermore, an increase in process automation among the industries has led to the adoption of advanced machines in the upcoming years.
