CECIMO, the group of European associations representing machine tool and AM manufacturers, has released its Economic & Statistical Toolbox for the 2nd quarter of the year.
The highlights of the latest Toolbox include:
- Total Orders Index for the CECIMO8 countries (the 8 largest of the 15 members) decreased during the second quarter of 2025.
- The EU Industrial Production Index (IPI) for Machine Tools declined in Q2 2025, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of decline in metal forming machinery and machine tool output.
- Machine Tool Production for the 15 CECIMO countries decreased by -9.2% in 2024 compared to 2023, with preliminary estimates for 2025 indicating a further substantial contraction.
You can download the full document from the Economic Reports page on the MTA website at https://www.mta.org.uk/members-area/market-intelligence/global-mt-report/ (it is the 2nd item on this page) – you will, of course, need your members login and password to access this. Alternatively, you can access most of the data on the interactive CECIMO Dashboard which can be linked to via our the members area of our website at https://www.mta.org.uk/members-area/cecimo-dashboard: it appears quite small but if you zoom in (Ctrl-key and +-key) it can be made more readable.
