The EDM wire market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 110.60 million in 2022 to US$ 146.67 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2028.
Growth Prospects in Healthcare, Automotive, and Aerospace Industries
In the wave of technological developments, industrial sectors such as automotive and healthcare are improving. For instance, in the healthcare industry, penetration of personal and intelligent medical devices will lead to personalized medical technologies and implantable medical devices. Also, adopting robots in the healthcare industry is projected to enable the rollout of state-of-the-art medical solutions such as wearable and implantable technologies. The mentioned development in the healthcare industry is projected to create lucrative growth opportunities for developing components and parts used in implantable medical devices. This opportunity is predicted to fuel the demand for EDM wires. Similarly, the automotive industry is also witnessing a revolution. For producing large auto parts, including dual rigid linear motor axis drives and plastic dashboards, the adoption of EDM wires is rising. Also, with the introduction of electric vehicles, the automotive industry is transforming quickly. The demand for EDM wires in the automotive industry was high from earlier times and has gone up with the introduction of electric vehicles, as EDM wire ensures precise drilling and molding of small and larger parts. As the EDM wire process generates low residual stress on materials, the molds/components/punches become long-lasting and reliable. Similarly, with the introduction of advanced technologies in the aerospace industry, aerospace companies are looking ahead for EDM wires. Landing-gear components, fuel systems, engines, and other high-temperature, high-stress parts are produced using EDM wire as they can withstand the extreme pressure and heat required to make technology work in operation. The mentioned aspects related to changing automotive, aerospace, and healthcare industries due to the dynamic technological environment are projected to generate growth prospects for the MEA EDM wire market.
