EDM Wire Global Market Report 2026

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) wire is a specialized wire employed in the EDM process to cut or shape workpieces, primarily conductive materials. In EDM, metal removal occurs through erosion caused by electrical discharges between two electrodes, the tool (cathode) and the work surface (anode).

The primary types of EDM wire include brass, zinc-coated, and non-coated variants. Brass EDM wires are typically composed of an alloy with a Cu/Zn ratio ranging from 63/37 (American and European) to 65/35 (Asian). These wires are utilized to cut or shape conductive workpieces, minimizing cutting stress and altering the mechanical properties of the workpiece. EDM wires find applications in various industries such as aerospace, industrial and general mechanics, automotive, healthcare, electronics, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have raised costs for copper, brass, zinc coatings, and alloy materials used in EDM wire production, particularly impacting imports from Asia-Pacific and European suppliers. These tariffs have increased operational expenses across aerospace, automotive, and general machining industries, slowing procurement cycles and raising fabrication costs. However, tariffs have also stimulated domestic sourcing of wire materials, encouraged recycling-based production, and driven innovation in high-efficiency EDM wire formulations.
