The global high speed steel cutting tools market size reached US$ 8.5 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 10.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% during 2022-2028.

High speed steel (HSS) cutting tools refer to various mechanical equipment used for milling, tapping, drilling, cutting, shaping, grinding, boring and casting steel products. Some of the commonly used HSS cutting tools include drill bits, solid boring bars, chasers, counterbores, countersinks, extractors, knurls, saw blades, taps and end mills. In comparison to their traditional counterparts, HSS cutting tools use particle metallurgy, have improved design, operate at a high cutting speed, can function under extreme temperatures and are resistant to corrosion and wear and tear. As a result, they find extensive applications across various industries, such as oil & gas, automotive, marine, aerospace, defense and energy and power.


Significant growth in the manufacturing industry across the globe represents one of the key factors creating a positive impact on the market. HSS cutting tools are crucial for uniformity in the quality of products during mass production and high-temperature operations. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of these tools in the automotive industry is providing a thrust to the market growth. Due to their high precision, durability, and repeatability, they are used for milling, grinding and broaching various automobile components. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of novel coating technologies for the tools and the manufacturing of bits with adjustable composition, are also contributing to the market growth. The market players are also integrating cutting tools with the internet-of-things (IoT), and offering tools with minimal vibrations, increased precision and higher speeds. Other factors, including the increasing investments in the metalworking industries and the advent of industry 4.0, are anticipated to drive the market further.
