Computer Numerical Control (CNC) refers to a computer-assisted, highly accurate manufacturing process in which controlled machining is automated using pre-programmed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, eliminating the need for an operator. The fundamental benefit of CNC machines is their ability to run unattended throughout the manufacturing and machining cycles, allowing the operator to perform other work elsewhere.
The main types of Computer Numerical Controls include lathe machines, milling machines, laser machines, grinding machines, welding machines, winding machines, and others. A lathe machine is a machine tool used to remove metal from a workpiece to achieve the desired form and size. The various product types involved are software and solutions used by aerospace and defense, automobile, electronics, healthcare, and other end-use industries.
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 significantly impacting the computer numerical control market by increasing costs of imported machine tools, servo motors, controllers, precision bearings, and electronic components essential for CNC systems. Manufacturing hubs in Asia-Pacific and Europe are most affected due to heavy reliance on cross-border supply chains for high-precision components, while North America faces increased equipment acquisition costs. These tariffs have raised capital expenditure requirements and slowed machine replacement cycles for small and mid-sized manufacturers. At the same time, they are encouraging local machine tool production, regional sourcing of components, and increased investment in domestic CNC manufacturing capabilities.

This computer numerical controls market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The computer numerical control market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.86 billion in 2025 to $19.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of industrial automation adoption, growing use of cnc in aerospace manufacturing, rising demand for precision components, availability of advanced control software, increasing replacement of manual machining.
The computer numerical control market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart factories, rising demand for customized manufacturing, expansion of advanced materials machining, growing focus on productivity optimization, increasing use of digital twins in machining. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of multi-axis cnc systems, rising integration of cad/cam software with cnc platforms, growing demand for high-precision automated machining, expansion of lights-out manufacturing practices, enhanced focus on process repeatability.
The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the computer numerical control market going forward. An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle powered by an electric motor using electricity instead of an internal combustion engine, which generates power by burning a mixture of gasoline and gases. Computer numerical control technology is essential for the automated and large-scale production of electric vehicles, helping manufacturers reduce overall production costs. For example, in April 2025, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), a US-based independent nonprofit research organization, reported that passenger electric vehicle (battery-electric and plug-in hybrid) sales reached approximately 1.56 million in 2024, with EVs accounting for 10% of all light-duty vehicle sales, up from a lower share in 2023. Thus, the rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the computer numerical control market.
Major companies in the computer numerical control (CNC) market are developing new AI-based monitoring solutions, such as the NUMai software, to gain a competitive advantage. This innovative artificial intelligence solution is designed for condition monitoring in CNC machine tools and is compatible with NUM's Flexium+ CNC systems, offering cost-effective monitoring capabilities without the need for additional sensors. For example, in May 2024, NUM AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of automation machinery, introduced its latest software, NUMROTO X, at the GrindingHub event. Built on the NUMROTO platform, this software provides real-time tool visualization, intuitive job management, and support for advanced 6-axis kinematics. These features aim to enhance the performance and efficiency of complex tooling applications. This launch reflects NUM AG's commitment to driving innovation in CNC automation, with NUMROTO X being gradually released to a wider market, providing improved flexibility and precision for advanced tool grinding processes.
In July 2025, PMGC Holdings Inc., a US-based industrial machinery manufacturing company, acquired AGA Precision Systems LLC for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, PMGC intends to broaden its precision-machining capabilities and reinforce its supply-chain presence in the aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors by integrating a cash-flow-positive CNC machining operation specializing in complex, high-tolerance metal components. AGA Precision Systems LLC is a US-based company focused on CNC machining, including high-tolerance milling, turning, mold manufacturing, and the processing of complex metals.
