Global woodworking machinery market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.57% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 4.70 billion in 2024 to USD 6.72 billion in 2032.
Woodworking equipment is used for cutting, shaping, sanding, and joining wood-based products. It is commonly used in furniture production, cabinetry, building, and home woodworking projects. The market consists of manual and automated machinery, serving small workshops and industrial-scale operations. Automation, intelligent technology, green and sustainable equipment. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment is becoming increasingly sophisticated, enabling accurate, automated cutting and shaping. Artificial intelligence-based woodwork systems can maximize material usage, minimize wastage, and increase efficiency. IoT integration facilitates remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. Energy-efficient woodworking machines with minimized power consumption are being emphasized by manufacturers. Better dust collection systems enable cleaner and safer environments. Recycling and waste management solutions are being integrated to reduce material wastage. 3D printing and additive manufacturing enable hybrid machines to become woodworking machines. Evolving 3D printing technology enables complex wood-based structures to be created. Hybrid machines with conventional woodworking and CNC routing technology are expected to drive market growth.
For instance, in August 2023, AXYZ Automation Group launched a CNC Router, a woodworking machine. This robust all-in-one solution was created to transform the woodworking sector and is designed to produce high-volume furniture and cabinets quickly and easily. The Woodworker provides furniture and cabinet makers with a hygienic and effective manufacturing process with its particularly designed machine setup and a variety of choices.
Sustainable, Customized, and Modular Furniture to Fuel Market Growth
Increasing environmental issues and strict regulations compel the woodworking sector towards sustainable practices. Governments and consumers are calling for environmentally friendly production processes, which have resulted in the implementation of energy-efficient equipment and sustainable raw materials. New woodworking machinery is developed to maximize material utilization, minimize emissions, and incorporate dust collection systems for cleaner operations. In addition, the growing demand for bespoke and modular furniture among consumers is a major growth stimulator in the woodworking machinery industry. Contemporary consumers want unique furniture that suits their space, design, and functional requirements. The trend is particularly in focus in urban localities where space efficiency is essential. Woodworking machinery, especially CNC routers and computerized cutting tools, allows manufacturers to mass-produce bespoke designs at an affordable cost.
For instance, in April 2022, the Swedish forest industry launched a sustainable forest machine. The concept machine is called Centipede, and it has been developed by eight Swedish forestry companies and a forest machinery manufacturer. The machine is currently being test-driven, and the results are likely to be efficient.
Residential and Commercial Construction to Fuel Market Growth
The world construction industry's growth, especially in the housing and commercial property sectors, is a key driver for woodworking machinery demand. Higher levels of urbanization and disposable income are driving residential renovation and new home developments. Commercial establishments such as offices, hotels, and retail stores also need quality woodwork for decor and furnishings. This expansion creates demand for sophisticated woodworking machinery that can mass-produce wooden doors, flooring, cabinetry, and decorative accessories. Moreover, government policies encouraging affordable housing and infrastructure construction are fueling the increasing demand for effective, high-accuracy woodworking machinery in mass construction activities.
For instance, in May 2023, EXCITECH (Jinan Singhui CNC Technology Co., Ltd.) launched a laser edge banding machine. The machine can handle different types of board materials, including plywood, MDF, PVC, and solid wood. In addition, the Laser Edge Banding Machine offers a user-friendly software system that enables easy operation and customization of edge banding patterns.
Wide Range of Applications to Make the Lathe Segment Leading
Based on type, the lathe segment dominated the woodworking machinery market. Lathes are capable of performing operations like turning, boring, and threading and can manipulate various materials, including metals and plastics. The market for woodworking equipment is presently witnessing a revival due to the growing demand for customized home furnishings and buildings. The lathe segment is likely to hold the largest market share due to the growing number of working centers for wooden door processing to plane wood surfaces. This expansion is due to increasing demand for woodworking as a hobby, which made people look for tools such as lathes to make bespoke wood products. The market for handcrafted and artisanal wood products, particularly innovative and eco-friendly products like handcrafted wooden kitchen items and home furniture, has also received a boost in demand for lathes.
For instance, in December 2023, Star Micronics developed the SP-20/23, a CNC Swiss-type automatic lathe, suitable for supporting parts machining in various industries such as automobiles, hydraulic/pneumatic equipment, and general machinery. For front-side machining, the SP-20/23 uses a gate-shaped tool post that is positioned around the guide bush.
Europe Leads in the Woodworking Machinery Market
Europe leads the woodworking machinery market due to a higher focus on sustainability and a higher demand for customization. The region's strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental regulations drives manufacturers to invest in modern machinery that reduces waste and energy consumption. The furniture sector is facing higher demand for customs and special designs, which call for sophisticated machinery for precision and efficiency. Consumer demand for customized furniture and high-quality wood products also fuels demand for sophisticated woodworking machinery. Automation and CNC technology are being adapted into furniture production for faster and better production. The growing growth of the construction sector propels the market for woodworking machinery, with woodworking machinery employed for precision cutting, shaping, and joining wood parts. European companies are initiating new projects, transforming woodwork.
For instance, in July 2024, the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) launched Wood2Wood, a Horizon Europe project aimed at revolutionizing how wood is used and reused in Europe, addressing the critical need for sustainable practices that can keep pace with the demands of our planet. The project will be working with advanced separation and sorting technologies along with upcycling processes and technologies.
