Positive Outlook Anticipated for Automotive Sector to Impact Market Growth

Growing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles in Europe and China has substantially increased the usage of new cutting tools for cutting and other manufacturing applications. High-Speed Steel tools, commonly known as HSS tools, are witnessing high adoption across the automotive industry and the market is likely to witness substantial growth in the coming years. Automotive OEMs are investing in retooling to improve their current manufacturing facilities, which in turn, will lead to high demand for HSS tools.

According to data provided by Chinese Bureau, the growth of the HSS tools market in China has been more average level of machinery industry this year, especially the profit growth is relatively higher.

Federal Policies Pertaining to Manufacturing Industry Set to Trigger HSS Tools Market Growth

The Made in China 2025 Plan is a high-level industrial policy aimed at transforming China into a global manufacturing leader. Promoting indigenous innovation and domestic brands is the primary motive of this national plan. Further, with growing industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, domestic demand for HSS tools is increasing.

From industrial equipment, heavy machinery, and marine, to aerospace and national defense, the demand for HSS tools will increase across many applications. This growth in domestic HSS tools demand will support rapid improvements in manufacturing technologies, improved commodity quality and safety and public infrastructure. The launching of new policies and strategies will further strengthen the demand outlook for HSS tools in China.

Drills to witness Notable Adoption Rate in HSS Tools Market

Most of the drilling operations are carried out using high-speed steel (HSS tools) drills only. In some cases, carbide tipped drills are employed for drilling operations. Solid carbide drills are costly and also suffer breakages as they are hard and brittle and hence, cannot withstand shock normally experienced in drilling operations. Further, more than 50% of metal cutting operations in the industry involve drilling. Subsequently, the demand for HSS tools will remain high in several industry applications.

Robust Machinery Production and Hefty Investments Creating Positive Outlook for HSS Tools Market

The long-term outlook for production of aircrafts and air transport MRO services remains positive. Increasing personal income has led to growth in travel across the globe, which in turn, is leading to growth of the HSS Tools market as well. At a macro level, expanding global economy is catalyzing urbanization and has led to emergence of the middle class, which will be great boosters for the market.

Moreover, the shipbuilding and ship repair and maintenance services industry plays a pivotal role in ensuring effective growth of overall seaborne trade and tourism business. Subsequently, modest demand for ships across the globe will also support the demand for cutting and HSS tools in the marine industry.
