Deep Hole Drilling Machines Market

Deep Hole Drilling Machines Market Outlook- 2027

The global deep hole drilling machines market size was valued at $611.1 million in 2019 and is projected to reach $784.1 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 6.2% from 2020 to 2027. Deep hole drilling machines are utilized for drilling holes with depth-to-diameter (D:d) more than 10:1 and up to 400:1. It is especially designed for manufacturing of accurate and straight drilled workpieces, which find application in various industries, including automotive parts, medical and surgical tools, aerospace & defense related parts, and others. 

The halted manufacturing in industries and prolonged lockdown in various countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the deep hole drilling machines supply chain.

It is a cost-effective production method for manufacturing of automobile parts. Deep hole drilling methods allow production of precise multi-speed transmissions, which have multiple off-center holes for hydraulic sequencing and lubrication. 

Moreover, deep hole drilling machines market find critical applications in medical implants and manufacturing of surgical tooling. Medical implants are manufactured using special surgical grade steel materials and titanium, which have high strength to weight ratio and high resistance to corrosion. The medical implants industry is developing considerably, owing to rise in consumer awareness and implementation of various innovative products.

Moreover, to reduce costs of these devices, major manufacturers in the orthopedic devices industry are focused on commoditization of devices, instruments, and delivery systems. This propels demand for deep hole drilling machines, which drives growth of the market.

Furthermore, deep hole drilling systems have integrated automation solutions to increase efficiency in manufacturing processes. Major players in the deep hole drilling machines industry such as UNISIG, TBT, and Tiefbohrtechnik GmbH + Co offer standard as well as specialized automation solutions to sustain requirements of factory production. This propels growth of the deep hole drilling machines market.

However, lack of skilled labor and frequently fluctuating raw material prices are expected to hinder the deep hole drilling machines market growth. These machines are difficult to operate and improper handling of these machines can result in poor surface finish, owing to inadequate flow of lubricants through tubes, hole concentricity, smoke/fire risk, and tool breakage, which may result in wastage of raw material and turn out to be expensive. Thus, lack of skilled labor restrains growth of the deep hole drilling machines market significantly.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down production and sales of deep hole drilling machines, mainly owing to prolonged lockdowns in major global countries including the U.S., Italy, and the UK. This, in turn, has declined growth of the deep hole drilling machines market significantly within past few months, and is likely to continue during 2020. Moreover, lockdowns have also led to reduced demand for automotive products; which hampers the mobility industry. 

On the contrary, growth in adoption of automation in manufacturing industries is expected to create opportunities for growth of the deep hole drilling machines market. Advancements in manufacturing processes assist in improving quality of end products and obtain high productivity, which drives demand for deep hole drilling machines.
