by The global Waterjet Cutting Machine Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2280.08 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Waterjet cutting machines use high-pressure water or a mixture of water and an abrasive material to cut through virtually any material. These machines offer precision cutting of materials such as steel, aluminum, tile, glass and composites with minimal heat impact. They are gaining popularity over traditional mechanical cutting methods as they produce minimal waste, deliver clean and accurate cuts, don’t damage heat-sensitive materials and can cut intricate shapes. Waterjet cutting allows complex parts to be cut with very tight tolerance from metals and non-metals using a mix of high-pressure water and garnet particles.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the market is growing automation and integration of advanced technologies in waterjet cutting machines. Major players are focusing on automation to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. For instance, OMAX Corporation offers Intelli-Max automation solution which operates machines automatically through a central control system. Rising adoption of Industry 4.0 is also driving the integration of advanced technologies such as IoT, cloud, and AI in waterjet cutting machines. This allows remote monitoring and analysis of machine operations. Furthermore, growing demand from applications such as automotive, aerospace and medical device manufacturing is augmenting the demand for high-pressure, high-precision waterjet cutting technology.
