The Global Waterjet Cutting Machine Market size is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period. Waterjet cutting machines are generally used in the manufacturing sector for the purpose of cutting metal and other materials. The machines utilize water as a crucial element to cut thin or thick materials. In the last few years, the manufacturing industry has seen advancements in cutting technology and smart production processes. Some significant examples are robotic water jet cutting devices, 3D, and micro water jet cutting systems. In the upcoming years, the growing industrial sector in the Middle East and Africa area will create a favorable environment for the water jet cutting machines market.
Abrasive grit is carried by an ultra-high-pressure stream of water which is used by the water jet cutting. Through a mechanical sawing action, the abrasive cuts the material, leaving a smooth, precision cut surface. Waterjet cutting is the most versatile method since it can cut practically any material. Materials that are extremely brittle, such as tempered glass and some ceramics, are the limitations of the water jet cutting machine. Water jet cutting is a very accurate method of cutting. It features a tiny kerf width, which allows it to cut delicate curves and produce high-tolerance parts. When compared to plasma on most metals, it is, however, a very slow and costly procedure.
Every year, demand for WCMs is expected to grow significantly, with an increase in demand for sophisticated equipment. Waterjet pressure levels that are higher than the normal ultra-high-pressure levels of 50,000 psi are gaining momentum in the end-use sectors. In comparison to conventional laser, oxy-fuel, or plasma cutting machines, the WCMs use cold cutting technology and a high-pressure level jet to give a clean edge and eliminate warping and distortion.
COVID-19 has negatively affected the Waterjet cutting machine market, therefore, causing huge losses to the manufacturers during 2020. During the first half of 2020, market growth trend has hindered. On the other hand, due to increasing requirement for Waterjet cutting machine the demand for the same is fueling. Due to strict government regulations, all the production units were shut which eventually resulted in decreasing the demand for Waterjet cutting machines.
There has been a substantial impact on the Waterjet cutting machine’s value chain due to the global Covid-19 epidemic. There has been a negative impact of the outbreak of the pandemic in the countries such as India, China, Japan, the US, and South Korea while these are the key countries prevailing in the global Waterjet cutting machine market. Moreover, as the global market is experiencing a slowdown and eventually caused a decrease in purchasing power, the demand for aerospace, electronics, and automotive has reduced and this decreasing demand would prevail for some time.
The Waterjet cutting machine is capable of cutting irregular shapes of any kind of material along with exceptional edge quality and precisions as these machines are flexible. To cut different shapes and thicknesses such as bonded laminated materials like aluminum composite panel as well as rubber-lined wear plate, the Waterjet cutting machine is equipped with abrasives. Moreover, it’s a cold cutting process that removes the issue of heat distortion and hardened edges.
Most cutting technologies cut flat, simple shapes, and if more complex cutting is required, the part must be repositioned and then cut along a different axis. Waterjet cutters are capable of achieving accuracy as well as very intricate cuts or 3-D shapes. The XD cutting head can cut through any pane or axis, allowing even the most complex three-dimensional items to be cut in one operation.
For many industries, the deployment of waterjet cutting technology can be costly. Some of the main factors that companies look while buying these machines are portability, sensitivity, cost, selectivity, and stability. As such, water-based cutting machines are more costly in comparison to the conventional cutting technologies; though, these machines are superior in terms of reliability and precision in comparison to the conventional ones.
Based on Type, the market is segmented into Abrasive and Pure. The AWCM (abrasive Waterjet cutting machine) obtained the largest revenue share of the waterjet cutting machine market in 2020 and would display the similar kind of trend even during the forecast period. Factors such as the rising demand for accurate automobile performance parts and other cut-out materials such as brake types, wings, turbines, and gears in the aerospace and military, electronics, mining, textiles, food, and beverage industries are responsible for the growth of this segment.
Based on Application, the market is segmented into Automotive, Metal Fabrication, Electronics, Mining, Aerospace & Defense and Others. The aerospace & defense segment is expected to show a substantial growth rate over the forecast period. Waterjet cutting machines are becoming more popular for developing composite parts and components for airplanes, such as turbine blades and jet engines. In addition, WCMs are widely used in the creation of crucial defense and military products such as guided missiles, space vehicles, and cutting solutions for rotary blades, thick sheet metals, and aircraft fuselages. Furthermore, increased investment and research & development in the aerospace and military industries are predicted to increase the demand for highly efficient machinery like the WCM.
