Machine tools are a group of instruments used to change metals or other materials into various machine components. A power-driven instrument used to shape or cut metal can also be used to characterise a machine tool. The metal cutting tool industry plays a major role in the global economy. The calibre of the tools used in metal cutting operations has a big influence on how competitive the manufacturing industry is. Metal cutting tools are a necessary input for all industrial operations. The success of the metal cutting tool business is critical to the global growth of the industrial sector. Among the crucial and significant end-use industries that rely on a robust metal cutting tools market are the casting, heavy equipment, automotive, military, and aerospace sectors.

Metal is becoming more and more popular for cutting tools due to its many features, such as high wear hardness, high working hardness, durability, and good hardness retention. With the use of these tools, the cutting speed has increased fourfold over the carbon steels that were previously in use. Reliable and efficient machining is becoming more and more crucial for companies. Because of the aforementioned characteristics, these cutting tools are making their way into major production and high-temperature processes. Growing customer satisfaction and product quality are key factors driving the market for high-performance cutting tools. Tools continue to be vital parts of the metalworking and machining industries because they adapt to new coating techniques and change their composition accordingly.

SMEs may lack the financial and resource capacity of larger enterprises. Due to their high upfront costs, SMEs may be deterred from purchasing sophisticated, high-end machinery. As such, businesses may choose for less expensive or inferior alternatives, thereby affecting the overall quality and precision of their machining processes. It might be challenging for SMEs to compete with larger companies that can afford to purchase top-notch gear if they cannot afford these expensive tools. It is expected that these factors would prevent the industry from growing. The fluctuation of raw material prices affects machine tool manufacturers' pricing strategies. The requirement for enterprises to provide training to their employees also results in increased expenditures. 

The market for metal cutting equipment has been greatly influenced by the Covid epidemic. Movement restrictions and trade interruptions have thrown off a worldwide supply chain, delaying the delivery of raw materials and completed goods needed to manufacture metal cutting tools. Numerous sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, which rely significantly on metal cutting equipment, saw a decline in demand and production as a result of lockdowns. The demand for metal cutting tools has declined as a result of temporary closures or reduced operational capabilities of production facilities, such as machining centres and metalworking shops, to comply with government-mandated lockdowns and social distancing measures. The market for metal cutting tools has faced several obstacles as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, but these obstacles have also spurred innovation, digital transformation, and strategic efforts.
