Market Trends of Machine Bench Vices Industry
Automotive Segment to Register Significant Growth
- Machine bench vice usage has increased due to the increasing demand for Automobiles. In recent years, the automotive industry has seen a significant increase in the use of machine bench vices. From die-casting similar components to unibody frame manufacturing, CNC instruments and machines are responsible for most of the parts found in modern cars. Therefore, with the increasing demand in the automotive industry, the demand of the studied market will continue to grow in the years to come.
- For instance, over 1.3 billion motor cars are on the road worldwide, which is predicted to climb to 1.8 billion by 2035. Passenger automobiles account for around 74% of these figures, with light commercial vehicles and large trucks, buses, coaches, and minibusses accounting for the remaining 26%.
- According to OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), China is the world's largest automotive market: Chinese motorists purchased around 26.06 million passenger cars in 2023. India was the second-largest market for passenger cars in Asia.
- Furthermore, Asia-Pacific has the most people of any region. Owing to an increase in urban population and spending power, Asia-Pacific is one of the most important markets for the automobile industry. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, approximately 965,000 passenger vehicles and 216,000 commercial automobiles were sold in China in April 2022, representing a 48% and 42% decrease from the previous month, respectively. Such massive vehicle sales will allow the studied market to grow.
- Many manufacturers are embracing intelligent factory solutions as the automotive manufacturing landscape evolves. Kurt Workholding, for example, will be introduced to the DX8 vise in March 2022. This new DX8 vise has the same key features as the DX-series vise as the new 8-inch vise platform. The DX8 vise from Kurt is the most recent and most extensive vise in the family of DX CrossOver vise. The DX8 vise combines the top features of the Kort D810 vise and the Kort 3800V vise into one vise with cutting-edge features that redefine precision flatness, parallelism, and repeatability.

Asia Pacific Market to Grow Significantly
- Due to the growing development in manufacturing and R&D activities in various industries across the Asia Pacific countries, the region holds a high market share. Further, the rising number of initiatives taken to ensure the safety of the workers in industries such as metalworking and automotive also support the market growth in the region.
- In metalworking, machine bench vices are most commonly used in high-priced CNC machines, which must operate continuously. As a result, it is essential to minimize setup time. In this context, the clamping system used to secure the workpieces is of the utmost importance, particularly in series production, where the highest degree of automation is required to produce repetitive processing operations cost-effectively. Hydraulic vices are the most essential type of clamping system. They can fix the workpiece in place quickly and with great strength. The constant repetition of clamping can always be accomplished with the same strength.
- India is a rapidly expanding nation in manufacturing industries and machinery, resulting in a high demand for machine bench accessories. The Indian government has implemented various policies to assist companies in establishing manufacturing units. These include the National Manufacturing Policy, which seeks to increase the manufacturing sector's share of GDP to 25% by 2025, and the PLI Scheme for Manufacturing, initiated in 2022 to bring the core manufacturing sector up to international standards.
- Furthermore, the easy availability of labor and the declining prices of components have resulted in manufacturers shifting their production units in this region, further promoting the market. Several critical factors drive adoption in this region, including its proximity to supply and demand regions.
- In addition, setting up manufacturing plants in the Asia-Pacific region has stimulated the use of computer numerical control (CNC), which drives the machine bench vice market. The automotive industry is expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments in the next few years due to the growing automation of automobile manufacturing. The machine bench vice market is expected to be driven by increased efficiency, time efficiency, accuracy, and precision across metalworking industries like the automotive and manufacturing industries.
