Automobiles account for 33%, representing the largest fundamental market in cnc

Automotive manufacturing accounts for one-third of CNC machine tool consumption, making it the largest single market. The demand for machine tools in new energy vehicles differs significantly from that in traditional fuel-powered vehicles—battery housings require large gantry five-axis machining, motor rotors demand high-speed turning, and lightweight bodies necessitate precision milling. In 2025, metal-cutting machine tools saw a 20.5% increase in new orders and a 19.1% growth in backlog orders, with the automotive and 3C industries being the primary drivers.
