In recent years, the global cutting tool market has continued to expand. According to market research data, the global metal cutting tool revenue reached approximately US$25.59 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to US$35.04 billion by 2028. This growth is mainly due to the recovery and transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing and industrial sectors, especially the rapid development of the automotive and aerospace industries, which have significantly increased the demand for cutting tools. In addition, with the continuous progress of cutting tool materials, coatings, and designs, and the widespread adoption of advanced technologies such as CNC machining, the performance and service life of cutting tools have been significantly improved, further driving market demand growth.

Technological innovation in the cutting tool industry is a key driving force for its continued development. The research and development of new tool materials and coating technologies have not only improved the hardness and wear resistance of the tools but also significantly improved their processing efficiency and stability. For example, cemented carbide tools have become mainstream products in the market, with tens of thousands of varieties, widely used in various mechanical processing fields. In addition, the application of superhard materials such as diamond and cubic boron nitride allows tools to maintain good performance even under high-speed, heavy-load processing conditions.

The integration of intelligent and automated technologies has brought revolutionary changes to the cutting tool industry. Modern cutting tools not only have the characteristics of high precision and high efficiency but can also provide real-time feedback on the processing status through intelligent monitoring systems, providing strong support for quality control and cost control in the production process.

From a regional distribution perspective, the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese market, is playing an increasingly important role in the cutting tool industry. The total output value of China's cutting tool industry has been increasing year by year, reaching 59 billion yuan in 2023, with exports accounting for 23.4 billion yuan. With the rapid development and technological progress of the manufacturing industry, the demand for cutting tools in the Asia-Pacific region will continue to grow, and is expected to maintain a high compound growth rate in the next few years.

In addition to China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Southeast Asia are also important parts of the cutting tool market. These regions have huge development potential in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and other fields, providing broad market space for the cutting tool industry.
