The global carbide tools market size was valued at $11,300.0 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $18,375.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2030. Carbide is a key component (chemical compound in nature) that is frequently paired with other natural elements such as boron, silicon, metal, or steel. Carbide-based tool holders and machine tools offer a high level of durability, allowing them to last longer while maintaining their cutting tool edges. These tools are widely used in machining applications, owing to their unique characteristics, such as fast speed, cutting edge retention at high machining temperatures, reduced cycle time, superior wear resistance and long working life.

There are two types of cutting tools that make cut in the machining industry: carbide-based cutting tools and high-speed tooling (HSS) cutting tools. Carbide tools appear to have greatly influenced the industry as the most popular of the two in recent years. Machine tools are used to shape or machine metal or other stiff materials into a certain shape via boring, shearing, grinding, cutting, or other methods. As the need for carbide tools increases, providers are working hard to keep up with the demand by introducing more innovative and high-performance carbide tools. For instance, in June 2021, Ingersoll Cutting Tools, a member of IMC Group, improved its indexable deep hole drilling head by expanding diameter range and providing new wear-resistant grade for more endurance. Moreover, the drilling tool is equipped with new chip breakers, which increases tool life.

The novel coronavirus has rapidly spread across various countries and regions, causing enormous impact on lives of people and overall community. Originating as a crisis to human health, it now poses significant threat to worldwide trade, economy, and finance. Due to continuous lockdowns in key global countries, the COVID-19 pandemic has halted production of many items in the carbide tools business. Market players can afford a complete lockdown only for a limited period, after which they would have to alter their investment plans. Furthermore, number of COVID-19 cases are expected to reduce in the near term as vaccine for COVID-19 has been introduced in the market. This is further expected to lead to re-initiation of carbide tool companies at their full-scale capacities, which would aid the market to recover by the start of 2022.

After COVID-19 infection instances start to decline, equipment and machinery producers must focus on protecting their staff, operations, and supply networks to respond to urgent emergencies and establish new methods of working.

In addition, carbide tools provide a lot of important benefits, including reduced material waste, lower labor costs, higher quality, and lower inventory costs. Furthermore, manufacturers are putting a lot of emphasis on ideal cutting geometries and high-performance coverings, which is attracting customers and in turn, fuels the market growth. However, factors such as high cost of carbide tools hamper growth of the market.

Milling segment is projected to grow at a significant CAGR

Mergers and acquisitions of regional players by major global players represent a significant commercial potential for the carbide tools industry. Such business methods not only aid in capturing new physical places, but also in creation of new business prospects in emerging markets. For instance, in February 2020, Mitsubishi Material Corporation (MCC) acquired Mantoverde Copper Mine from Mantos Copper Holding SpA. The company produces high quality copper concentrated with very low level of impurities and deleterious materials. This acquisition helped MCC to secure copper concentrated for its copper smelters.

Some of the most important companies specializing in carbide tools are based in North America and Europe. Some of the well-known brands in the carbide tools industry in the U.S. are Super Tool Inc., Kenn metal, Gartool, Allied Machine and Engineering Corporation, and Solid Carbide Tools. Hence, these regions are expected to have high manufacturing and production of carbide tools in the coming years. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is expected to provide lucrative market prospects. Expansion of the carbide tools market is expected to be aided by rise in number of growing economies in the region.
