Metal Forming Machine Tools Market Report 2026

The metal forming machine tools market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $62.7 billion in 2025 to $65.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of automotive manufacturing, expansion of construction activities, demand for mass metal production, industrial machinery growth, advancement in forming techniques.

The metal forming machine tools market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $79.55 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle production growth, demand for lightweight materials, automation in manufacturing plants, aerospace component demand, investment in advanced forming technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for precision metal components, increasing use of automated forming machines, expansion of high strength metal forming, rising adoption of cnc forming tools, focus on material efficiency and waste reduction.

The rising construction activities are expected to drive the growth of the metal-forming machine tools market in the coming years. Construction activities encompass building, modifying, repairing, and demolishing structures and infrastructure for both residential and non-residential projects. Growth in construction is primarily fueled by increased urbanization, higher housing demand, and the need for commercial spaces, which are driving new construction initiatives. Metal-forming machine tools offer adaptable solutions for various construction needs, enhancing metal strength and durability. Their automation improves efficiency and output, enabling timely and cost-effective project completion. For example, in August 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that total construction new orders rose by 16.5% (£1,771 million) to £2.22 billion in Q2 2024 compared to Q1 2024. This growth was mainly driven by private commercial new work and infrastructure new work, which increased by 15.1% (£503 million) to £637 million and 23.4% (£389 million) to £490 million, respectively. Consequently, the expansion of construction activities is supporting the growth of the metal-forming machine tools market.

The metal-forming machine tools market is trending toward high-speed, precision-driven innovations, such as next-generation link presses, to improve stamping productivity and accuracy over conventional mechanical presses. Link presses utilize an optimized linkage mechanism and reinforced straight-side frame to deliver extremely fast strokes with stable bottom-dead-point control, enabling precise forming of automotive, electronics, and motor-core components. For instance, in July 2025, a Japan-based industrial machinery manufacturer introduced the world’s fastest straight-side link press at the Metal Forming Fair Tokyo (MF-Tokyo), achieving an industry-leading 3,000 strokes per minute (spm). The model features a highly rigid structure to minimize thermal displacement, advanced bottom-dead-center accuracy control, and integrated health-monitoring functionality for predictive maintenance, providing manufacturers with significantly higher throughput and enhanced process stability in high-volume metal stamping operations.

In October 2025, a US-based photonics technology company acquired Bystronic AG’s Tools for Materials Processing division to expand its industrial photonics capabilities. This acquisition strengthens the company’s position in industrial laser and photonics applications by integrating Bystronic’s advanced materials-processing tools, including laser cutting and micro-material processing systems, thereby extending its capabilities across medical devices, semiconductors, and general manufacturing sectors. Bystronic AG specializes in sheet-metal processing systems, automation technologies, and materials-processing solutions.
