Tool Holder Market Overview

The Global Tool Holders Market size was valued at USD 2 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $4 billion by 2028 with an expected CAGR of 5.3%. The growth in this industry can be attributed to various factors such as the rising demand for automation, increasing investment by leading players in developing economies, and technological advancements that are enabling the production of more efficient tools with fewer maintenance costs.

Tool holders are used to holding the cutting tool or end mill. The tool holder is a rotary device that supports the cutter and presses it against the workpiece during machining operations. It generally consists of two parts--a cylindrical shell and a collet chuck with internal teeth, which holds the cutting tool firmly in place by pressing on its shank from all directions and supporting it axially for rotation. The external threads allow for multiple tools (of different sizes) to be fitted into the same spindle head while allowing them to rotate independently to cut at various angles around an axis within limits determined by their design features. Tool holders are a critical component in the manufacturing process. They can be used to hold cutting tools, such as end mills, milling cutters, and shank drills. It is essential because it ensures that the cutting tool does not slip or move when drilling into metal, which could cause damage to the machine or injure workers.

COVID 19 Analysis

Manufacturing activities of different metalworking tool holders halted due to lockdown restrictions across many countries. Moreover, disruptions in the supply chain and shortage of raw materials posed challenges in production with a total capacity. The demand from end-users such as automobiles, electronics, aerospace & defense, and others reduced considerably due to a halt in disruptions in daily operations during the lockdown. However, the demand is expected to grow slowly post-lockdown as daily operations resume. There has been a ban on import-export work and it has led to the supply-demand gap. However, the lag of the supply chain will be back on track as the ban is lifted.

  Drivers

  
  

An increase in urbanization and industrialization in emerging countries such as Germany, France, the U.S., and others drives the demand for automotive vehicles. It is expected to fuel the demand for tool holders, thereby driving the growth of the tool holder market. For instance, the degree of urbanization in the U.S. increased by 0.4% from 2021 onwards.

In addition, the tool holder is used in various industry verticals such as automotive, aerospace, and defense, owing to the rise in demand for tool holders. The healthcare industry in various countries such as the U.K., the U.S., and India is growing significantly due to an increase in investments in this sector by the government. For instance, in 2018, the U.K. Government spent $252.9 billion on the healthcare industry. It is expected to drive the demand for tool holders, owing to highly efficient, rigid, and high revolution per minute (rpm) features.

  Technology Analysis

  
  

A collet chuck is a cylindrical piece of metal with two jaws (usually four) that can be tightened around the square shank of an object to hold it firmly. The most common Type is woodworking; wearing a glove or vice-grip would not work well on the round stock as there isn't enough surface area for them to grip onto the end while turning.

End mill holders are chuck, jaws, or holders for holding an end mill. End mills can be held in turning and machining centers. They used to hold the cutter when a machine is not rotating so that it doesn't become dislodged during use while still keeping the load on the bearings to protect them from wear due to vibration.

Recent Developments

A milling cutters holder is used to hold cylindrical tools such as milling cutters, drill bits, and end mills. These holders are sometimes referred to as work holding devices or tool holders. They can be either single-use disposable Type that does not require any maintenance after their use, semi-permanent Type requiring periodic maintenance, or permanent Type that may require more maintenance.

Hydraulic tool holders hold a cutting tool in place under pressure. The pressure is applied through hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic actuators, which push on both sides of the holder and create an axial force that holds the cutter securely at its desired position. A variety of different hydraulic tools exist for different machining materials.

The rise in adoption of tool holders in various end-users such as automotive, aerospace, defense, and others, owing to advantages such as highly efficient and highly productive, drives the growth of the global metalworking tool holder market. The global urban population is projected to rise by 2050, thereby fueling the demand for tool holders for the automotive and aerospace industry. A rise in infrastructure activities in developing countries such as India, Brazil, and others is expected to drive the demand for tool holders, fueling the metalworking tool holder market growth. The manufacturing industry uses tool holders extensively used in milling machines, drilling machines, and boring machines.
