Broaching Tools Market by Broaching Technique (Internal Broaches, External Broaches) and End-user Industry (Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, Construction, Energy, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022-2029

Broaching tool is a type of toothed tool, which is used for broaching. It is also known as broach tool or simply broach. Broaching is a type of material removing process, which comes under the category of precision machining. Surfaces that are machined by broaching are flat surfaces, circular & noncircular holes, splines, and keyways. Process of broaching is used to create slots, cutout, holes, and complex surface features. Surface features created by broaching process maybe internal feature or external feature. As per the motion of broach against the work piece, the broaching process can be classified as linear broaching and rotary broaching. Forgings, stampings, castings, and screw machine parts are the various types of work pieces that are broached. Broaching is a more cost-effective process as compared to milling, boring, reaming, and shaping.

Broaching tool combines three levels of cutting teeth for rough, semi-finish, and finish cutting. This results in all three level of cutting to occur in succession. This makes broaching tool a preferred option for bulk machining. In addition, broaching tool provides energy savings and high precision for gear production, metal cutting, and key formation. Firearm components, automotive parts, and fasteners are manufactured using broaching tool.

Increase in manufacturing activities in developing as well as developed markets such as the U.S., the UK, India, China, and Russia has boosted the demand for broaching tools. Trend shows that easy availability coupled with low cost of tooling significantly contributes toward the growth of the global broaching tools market. In addition, rise in industrial automation and advent of new technologies such as computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer numerical control (CNC), rapid prototyping, automation using servo drive technology fuel the growth of the global market. For instance, in November 2017, Slater Tools Inc., operating in Michigan, launched an innovative broaching tool called Indexable Punch Broach. This tool has overcome the challenges faced by rotary broaching tools.

However, fluctuation in prices of raw materials, which are used in the manufacturing of broaching tools has affected the profitability of manufacturers and vendors, thereby negatively impacting the supply of broaching tools globally. This, in turn, hampers the growth of the global broaching tools.

Moreover, wire EDM (WEDM) is an upcoming substitute of broaching tool, the growing demand for which, is projected to hinder the growth of the market. In addition, high risk of tool wear is the biggest challenge for the growth of broaching tool market.

On the contrary, increase in investment in automotive and aerospace & defense sectors in emerging economies such as Brazil, China, and India is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunity for the expansion of the broaching tools market.

Recent trends in broaching tool market   includes collaboration of broaching tool manufactures and vendors with vendors of industrial automation to offer automated broaching tools. Manufacturers of broaching tools are using strategies such asjoint ventures, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic partnerships to expand their product portfolio and geographical reach. For instance, in February 2017, the duMont Company, operating in the U.S., formed a partnership with Somma  Tools, which is a machine tools & accessories manufacturing firm based in the U.S. This partnership is expect to help improve product offerings in terms broaching tools and to capture the U.S. market. Rental models or shared economy model for using machine tools to reduce the total cost of ownership and increase awareness of end users—such as automotive industry, aerospace & defense industry—toward energy-efficient machine tools are anticipated to offer potential opportunities for the growth of the broaching tools market.

The global broaching tools market is segmented into broaching technique, end-user industry, and region. By broaching technique, the market is categorized into internal broaches and external broaches. The internal broaches segment is further classified into rotary cut broaches, keyway broaches, spline broach, and others. Similarly, the external broaches segment is further divided into surface broach and rotary broach. On the basis of end-user industry, the market is segregated into automotive, aerospace & defense, construction, energy, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across including North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA.
