Automotive Manufacturing Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The automotive manufacturing equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.74 billion in 2023 to $7.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as economic growth, consumer preferences, adherence to regulatory standards, the globalization of supply chains, and the pursuit of cost efficiency.

The automotive manufacturing equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.03 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be associated with the adoption of electric vehicles, the integration of Industry 4 technologies, a focus on environmental sustainability, the resilience of supply chains, and increased demands for customization. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include the widespread adoption of Industry 4 technologies, the introduction of collaborative robots (cobots), the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), the implementation of 3D printing/additive manufacturing, a transition towards flexible and modular production systems, and the development of advanced material handling systems.

The anticipated surge in demand for electric vehicles is poised to drive the growth of the automotive manufacturing equipment market. Electric vehicles (EVs), powered primarily or exclusively by electricity, are reshaping the automotive landscape, necessitating precision, efficiency, and innovation in manufacturing processes. Automotive manufacturing equipment plays a crucial role in shaping the future of transportation, especially within the context of electric vehicles. In September 2022, the International Energy Agency reported a significant increase in electric car sales, reaching a record high in 2021 with a four percent climb. Sales nearly doubled to 6.6 million compared to 2020, resulting in a total of 16.5 million electric vehicles on the road. Hence, the surging demand for electric vehicles is a key driver propelling the growth of the automotive manufacturing equipment market.

The escalating adoption of Industry 4 is expected to contribute to the growth of the automotive manufacturing equipment market. Industry 4.0, characterized by the integration of smart technologies, automation, and data exchange in manufacturing processes, enhances automotive manufacturing equipment. This integration facilitates real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, and interconnected systems, ultimately improving efficiency and optimizing production. According to the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership in December 2022, the implementation rate of Industry 4 technologies, including autonomous mobile robots, increased to 16%, up from 11% in 2021. Thus, the growing adoption of Industry 4 acts as a driving force for the automotive manufacturing equipment market.

The fluctuation in raw material prices is expected to impede the growth of the automotive manufacturing equipment market. These fluctuations can disrupt supply chains, impacting production costs in the automotive manufacturing equipment sector and leading to uncertain profit margins. For example, SNECI reported in May 2022 that the cost of producing an electric vehicle increased by $4752 compared to 2020 due to the fluctuating costs of raw materials. Consequently, fluctuating raw material prices pose a challenge to the growth of the automotive manufacturing equipment market.

Leading companies in the market are prioritizing product innovation to boost revenues. An example of such innovation is the introduction of the M-1000iA, the largest serial-link robot, by FANUC, a Japan-based robotics company, in January 2022. This heavy-duty robot is designed with a serial-link configuration, featuring a series of rigid links connected end-to-end in a chain-such as structure. Capable of handling heavy items such as automotive components, construction materials, and electric vehicle battery packs, the M-1000iA offers a broader range of motion in every direction. Its versatility is enhanced, allowing it to extend its arm upright or rotate it backward. With a 1000 kg payload, 3,253mm horizontal reach, and 4,297mm vertical reach, the M-1000iA is an ideal choice for manufacturers aiming to boost output and maximize production line efficiency.

In August 2021, Nidec Corporation, a Japan-based commercial company, acquired Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aligns with Nidec Corporation's goal of complementing their existing businesses, especially in machinery, element technology development, manufacturing, sales, and other areas within their group's operations. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machine Tool Co. Ltd., a Japanese machine industry company, specializes in providing machinery, equipment, and tool systems for automotive manufacturing.
