Market Overview
Future Market Growth Hinges on Adaptability and Flexibility of Laser Cutting Equipment
The European laser cutting equipment market is currently experiencing a period of low growth, with demand largely being sustained by end-user requirement for quality-oriented products. Growth during the forecast period will be dependent on a number of factors such as the degree of adaptability and flexibility that the products offer. Manufacturers are focusing on making their equipment more adaptable to operations that entail changing cutting specifications - for instance, in niche job shops where the lot sizes for specific job orders are different. "This adaptability to cut materials based on job orders instead of single thickness cutting is a primary market driver," says the analyst of this research service. "The flexibility of these machines to adopt automation solutions such as robotics is another important factor driving market growth."
With more end users incorporating greater automation into their production facilities, the market is seeing a distinct trend toward products featuring inbuilt software systems for CNC machine control, to be used as part of the lean and cell manufacturing systems. This increase in manufacturing automation is likely to have a positive impact on market growth over the short, medium and long terms. In addition, technical innovation in the adaptability issues relating to automation of cutting could lead to increased demand for adaptable laser cutting equipment in many countries across Europe.
Eastern Europe Offers Most Potential for Growth
Laser cutting equipment manufacturers are looking to the German and emerging eastern European markets for future growth opportunities as other regions of Europe are showing distinct signs of market maturity. Currently, Germany accounts for 27.1 per cent of the total European market and this share is likely to increase over the forecast period now that the country has emerged from recession, although not by a significant per cent. The most promising growth is expected in the eastern European markets due to increased investment and government funding in this region. With the provision of subsidies attracting many companies to set up manufacturing plants in eastern Europe, the region is fast becoming a hub of industrial activity, which in turn, is likely to drive demand for advanced manufacturing trends such as laser cutting equipment.
"With the growing prominence of eastern Europe, and the emergence of western European economies from recession, the laser cutting market in Europe is on a path of recovery towards positive growth," says the analyst. "Over the long term, the stability and maturity of the western European markets will be balanced by the growth and development of the eastern European region."
