Regional Insights

Why is North America Expected to Show Moderate Growth in the Slitting Machine Market?

North America is expected to hold a significant share of the global slitting machines market, accounting for 23% of the market share through the forecast period.

This is due to its strong manufacturing capabilities, which are expected to drive the slitting machines market in North America. However, North America is expected to experience moderate growth during the forecast period. The reason for this is due to the shifting of manufacturing facilities and mills to China and India, along with other developing regions.

How is Europe Performing in the Slitting Machine Market?

Europe is projected to hold a considerable share of 26% of the global market for slitting machines through the forecast period.

Slitting machines are used in the pulp and packaging industries for operations such as die cutting or shearing. As a result, pulp prices have increased, and packaging demand has increased in the region.

This is also attributed to the increasing number of packaging industries in the region, which would lead to an increase in per capita consumption. Besides, the European Union and its governments are making large investments in manufacturing projects which are expected to contribute to further growth in sales of slitting machines in this region.

Why is the Asia Pacific Expected to Lead the Slitting Machine Market?

The Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest market share.

This is primarily due to the presence of two of the most densely populated countries, namely China and India. This region attracts manufacturers for its lower capital cost and labour cost, along with being a major consumer of a variety of paper products.

China itself possesses a dominant share of the sales of slitting machine in the global market. Along with its high production capacity at a lower price, China can export a lot more than the other players in the market. Moreover, the increasing number of paper and paper board manufacturing facilities in Japan, China, and India is expected to lead to a strengthening of the demand for slitting machines during the forecast period.
