North America dominates the market and the region is expected to hold 40.3% of the market share in 2024, mainly driven by the U.S. After experiencing a slowdown post the 2008 recession, the machine tools market has witnessed renewed growth in recent years supported by resurgence in domestic manufacturing activities. Growing capital expenditure on factory automation and adoption of new technologies by small and medium enterprises have significantly contributed to market expansion. Furthermore, reviving aerospace and automotive sectors have augmented domestic demand for high-precision machines.

The Asia Pacific region, led by China, is showcasing the fastest growth in the global machine tools market. China's machine tools industry has been growing rapidly over the past two decades, fueled by the country's rising manufacturing prowess and growing export domination in many industrial sectors. With a strong presence of OEMs and component suppliers, China today accounts for over half of the global demand for machine tools. Its leading position is primarily a result of strong government support towards manufacturing, availability of low-cost skilled labor, and massive supplier ecosystem for machine tools. The stable resurgence of the American manufacturing industry is a major factor driving the demand for technologically advanced and expensive machine tools in the country. Mexico is another high potential market in North America, experiencing rapid industrial growth owing to US companies shifting operations to leverage lower costs.
