Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Waterjet Cutting Machine Market size was over USD 45.85 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 93.1 billion by 2037, witnessing around 5.6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of waterjet cutting machine is evaluated at USD 47.9 billion.

The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing production of metals. Waterjet is typically used in cutting a wide range of metals and making products out of them, therefore higher production of metals will increase the usage of waterjet. The globe mined around 181 million tonnes of different metals in 2021, including aluminum, chromium, copper, magnesium, zinc, lead, titanium, nickel, zinc, and others.

Besides this, a factor that is believed to fuel the market growth of waterjet cutting machine is the growing production of new clothes- Every year, around 80 billion to 100 billion new clothes are produced in the world. Waterjet cutting machines can handle multiple layers of fabric simultaneously, allowing for efficient mass production of clothes.

Waterjet Cutting Machine Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Rising Need to Reduce Food Wastage– Globally, around 1.3 billion of food is wasted every year, which accounts for one-third of the total produce. Owing to higher food wastage the need for waterjet cutting becomes important since it allows for precise cuts and portioning thus preventing the wastage of food.
  • Rise in the Number of Wind Energy Projects– In 2021, global offshore wind installations reached a new high of 17,398 MW, bringing the total capacity currently operational to 50,623 MW. A waterjet cutting machine is used for the manufacturing of wind turbines, which are made up of carbon fiber tape or fiberglass.
  • Rising Investment in Defense Sector- In 2021, total worldwide military spending grew by 0.7% in real terms to USD 2113 billion. Higher investment leads to the production of better defense equipment, waterjet is used in prototyping the equipment and makes necessary personalization.

Challenges

  • High Operational Costs- On the top of upfront cost of the waterjet cutting machine, the operation cost of the equipment is also very high. The operational costs include consumables such as maintenance, and energy consumption. Moreover, the operational cost is an ongoing cost and adds up over time.
  • Instances of Downtime
  • Hard to achieve accuracy

Waterjet Cutting Machine Segmentation

Waterjet (Abrasive, Non-Abrasive)

The abrasive segment is estimated to hold around 60% share of the global waterjet cutting machine market in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the need for high accuracy while cutting the materials. In comparison to other types of waterjet and other technologies, such as plasma cutting and others, abrasive waterjet cutting machines offer a high level of precision, enabling the carving of complete and intricate designs. Moreover, the abrasive one does not generate heat while being used.

End User (Automotive, Aerospace, Mining, Electronics, Metal Fabrication, Food & Beverage)

The automotive segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 38% in the year 2037. Modern automobiles are built using a wide range of advanced materials, such as advanced plastic, metals, glass, and composites. Waterjet cutting machine is highly suitable for the automotive industry as it provides high precision with all these materials. The typical automobile contains 30,000 parts, nearly one-third of which are made of plastic, that includes, handles, dashboards, panels, seating, cable insulation, and others.
