Woodworking machines are specialized devices designed for use in workshops to cut, saw, plane, or drill wood for the production of furniture. These machines are typically powered by electric motors or operate mechanically, playing a crucial role in providing precise dimensions and shapes to woodwork projects. Woodworking machinery is extensively used in converting raw wood materials into structural products such as plywood, boards, and beams, which find applications in construction, shipbuilding, furniture production, and other industries.
The main types of products within woodworking machinery include thickness planers, grinding machines, chain or chisel mortisers, routers, wood lathes, and others. Thickness planers are utilized to remove wood from the surface of boards, either to create smooth and flat surfaces or to reduce their thickness. These machines operate based on different principles, including mechanical and electrical, and are available through both online and offline sales channels. Woodworking machinery is employed across various verticals, including the furniture industry, construction sector, 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 affected the woodworking machinery market by increasing costs of imported motors, cutting tools, CNC controllers, and mechanical components. Advanced woodworking machines are most impacted, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. Higher equipment prices have influenced small workshop investments. At the same time, tariffs have supported local machinery manufacturing and aftermarket service growth.
The woodworking machinery market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides woodworking machinery market statistics, including woodworking machinery industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a woodworking machinery market share, detailed woodworking machinery market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the woodworking machinery industry. This woodworking machinery global market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The woodworking machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $33.93 billion in 2025 to $36.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in furniture demand, expansion of residential construction, increased woodworking workshops, adoption of electric machinery, demand for improved production efficiency.
The woodworking machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $48.49 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in furniture manufacturing, growth in custom furniture production, expansion of prefabricated construction, demand for high accuracy machines, integration of digital woodworking tools. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of cnc woodworking machines, growing demand for precision cutting equipment, expansion of furniture manufacturing automation, preference for electric powered machinery, increasing use of modular workshop equipment.
The increasing expansion of the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the woodworking machinery market going forward. The construction industry encompasses the planning, designing, development, and building of structures and infrastructure. Woodworking machinery plays a key role in construction by enabling precise shaping, cutting, and assembly of wood components used in doors, windows, furniture, and other architectural elements essential to building projects. For example, in July 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian government agency, reported that the number of dwellings under construction rose to 240,813 in the March quarter of 2023, up from 240,065 in 2022. Of these, new houses increased to 103,778 compared with 101,240 in the previous year. Therefore, the construction sector's expansion is contributing to the growth of the woodworking machinery market.
The rise in infrastructure development is also expected to drive the growth of the woodworking machinery market. Infrastructure development includes the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of essential physical and organizational systems that support societal and industrial functioning. Woodworking machinery is used to produce essential components such as formwork, scaffolding, and architectural elements required in infrastructure projects. These machines allow for precise cutting, shaping, and assembly of wooden materials, helping build durable and customized structures within large-scale infrastructure initiatives. For example, in March 2023, Global X ETF, a US-based fund management firm, reported that the United States made a major commitment to improving national infrastructure through the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Over the next decade, the IIJA will allocate $550 billion to enhance roads, bridges, airports, railroads, expand access to clean drinking water and broadband internet, and support environmental justice. Therefore, rising infrastructure development is contributing to the growth of the woodworking machinery market.
Major companies in the woodworking machinery market are introducing new products, such as angle grinders, to strengthen their competitive position. Angle grinders-also called disc grinders or side grinders-are handheld power tools used for grinding, cutting, and polishing. For example, in January 2023, Robert Bosch GmbH, a Germany-based engineering and technology company, launched the GWS 800 Professional, a compact and powerful angle grinder designed for enhanced grinding and cutting performance. It features an 800W motor for high material removal rates, a lightweight ergonomic body with a back switch, and a double air inlet cooling system. Tailored specifically for the Indian market, it accommodates the average palm size of Indian users to ensure comfort and reduce fatigue during overhead tasks. Additionally, it includes a metal flange and high-quality carbon brush, offering improved durability and ease of maintenance across various applications.
