Automatic filament winding machines are specialized manufacturing devices crafted to automate the filament winding process in the production of composite materials. This process involves winding continuous filaments or fibers around a rotating mandrel or mold to create high-strength composite structures.
The primary types of automatic filament winding machines include 2-axis, 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis/6-axis machines. A 2-axis filament winding machine is specifically designed to control the winding process along two primary axes, enabling the creation of cylindrical composite constructions with precise winding patterns and orientations. These machines find applications in various industries such as aerospace, defense, and automotive, where they are utilized for producing pressure vessels, pipes, and tanks.
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 are influencing the automatic filament winding machines market by increasing costs of imported servo motors, control systems, precision bearings, and carbon fiber handling components. Aerospace and automotive manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized imported machinery, while Asia-Pacific exporters face reduced price competitiveness. These tariffs are raising capital investment costs and extending project timelines. However, they are also promoting local machine integration, regional component sourcing, and innovation in modular winding platforms.

It will grow from $1.85 billion in 2025 to $2.07 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of aerospace composite structures, increasing use of pressure vessels and tanks, expansion of automotive lightweighting initiatives, adoption of automated composite fabrication, advancements in fiber materials.
The automatic filament winding machines market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in advanced composite manufacturing, rising demand for high-performance materials, expansion of electric vehicle component production, growing adoption in hydrogen storage systems, increasing focus on production scalability. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of multi-axis filament winding systems, rising integration of cnc and robotic controls, growing demand for high-strength composite manufacturing, expansion of automated mandrel handling, enhanced focus on process precision and repeatability.
The rising demand for composite materials is expected to propel the growth of the automatic filament winding machine market going forward. Composite materials are engineered by combining two or more distinct constituents with different physical or chemical properties. Automatic filament winding machines are used in composite material production to create high-strength structures, including pressure tanks, aircraft components, and automotive parts, with precision and efficiency. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), a UK-based organization that sets technology strategy, the use of composite components in the civil aircraft fleet is projected to double market value by 2032, with sustained growth expected through 2050. Therefore, the rising demand for composite materials is driving the automatic filament winding machine market.
The increasing demand for renewable energy is also expected to drive the growth of the automatic filament winding machines market. Renewable energy is derived from natural resources that are continually replenished, such as sunlight, wind, water flow, and geothermal heat. The global push to reduce carbon emissions is driving governments, industries, and consumers toward cleaner energy sources that support long-term sustainability goals. Automatic filament winding machines enable the efficient and precise production of advanced composite components needed for renewable energy technologies, particularly in wind turbines and hydrogen applications. For instance, in September 2025, according to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, a UK-based government department, renewable generation reached 35 TWh and achieved a record 54.5% share in Q2 2025, driven by stronger wind capacity and exceptional solar hours. Therefore, the increasing demand for renewable energy is propelling the automatic filament winding machines market.
Leading players in the automatic filament winding machines market are channeling their efforts towards the development of technologically advanced products, including automated fiber winding and filament placement machines, to cater to evolving customer needs with enhanced functionalities. Automated fiber winding and filament placement machines represent cutting-edge manufacturing equipment designed to automate the process of winding materials, such as fiberglass, onto rotating mandrels. For instance, in October 2023, CompoTech, a US-based manufacturing and technology firm, unveiled 'Turnkey'. This innovative offering integrates an advanced FANUC M-20iA/20M robot arm with an R-30iB controller unit and remote controller, along with proprietary Shneg 2.0 fiber placement and winding software.
