India’s Growing Role in Global Machine Tool Industry
Today, India stands as one of the global powerhouses in the machine tool industry, both in terms of consumption and manufacturing. However, despite this significant standing, Indian companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), often struggle to gain sufficient international representation. This lack of visibility on the global stage limits their potential to expand and innovate. Machine Maker aims to address this gap by creating opportunities for these companies to showcase their capabilities and innovations to a broader audience, thereby enhancing the overall growth and competitiveness of the Indian manufacturing sector.

According to the World Machine Tool Production and Consumption report, India ranked 7th in machine tool consumption and 9th in machine tool production globally in 2022. These rankings highlight India’s substantial role in the global market, driven by a robust manufacturing base and a growing appetite for advanced machinery. By facilitating greater international exposure for Indian SMEs through initiatives like the “Make in India” pavilion at AMB 2024, Machine Maker seeks to bolster India’s position and foster stronger global connections for the Indian machine tool industry.
