The market is witnessing a trend wherein many large manufacturers,particularly of automotive components, are moving toward low-cost

manufacturing havens such as China, India, and Thailand. Government initiatives like the Make in India will provide the thrust to the manufacturing sector in India and thus, manufacturing in the overall APAC region. Thailand’s ascendancy as an automotive manufacturer and the emergence of Indonesia as another manufacturing hub in the region will drive growth in the metal cutting machine tools market; thus, APAC will emerge as the leading market for metal cutting machine tools.
