LONDON, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global metal fabrication equipment market is growing steadily, expected to be valued at around US$67.0 billion in 2026 and projected to reach US$91.4 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 4.5% in the coming years. This expansion is being supported by increasing demand for precision components in electric vehicles, aerospace manufacturing, and industrial automation. The rapid adoption of CNC machining, fiber laser cutting, robotics, and smart factory technologies is improving production efficiency while helping manufacturers achieve tighter tolerances, higher productivity, and reduced operational costs.
Electric Vehicles Are Emerging as the Next Major Driver of Equipment Demand
Consumer demand for electric vehicles, lightweight vehicle structures, battery enclosures, and advanced safety components continues to reshape fabrication requirements. Every new electric vehicle platform requires dedicated tooling, precision machining, advanced cutting systems, and automated welding technologies capable of processing lightweight materials while maintaining structural integrity.
The rapid expansion of offshore wind projects, hydrogen infrastructure, and energy transition investments is increasing demand for heavy-duty fabrication systems capable of processing thick steel plates, corrosion-resistant alloys, and complex structural components. Hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing technologies are also gaining traction as aerospace, defense, and energy manufacturers seek shorter production cycles, improved material utilization, and the ability to manufacture highly complex parts within a single production setup.
As automation, digital manufacturing, and industrial modernization continue accelerating globally, fabrication equipment demand is becoming increasingly diversified across automotive, aerospace, infrastructure, energy, and precision engineering industries rather than depending on any single application. This broader adoption is expected to shape long-term competitive positioning as equipment manufacturers focus on automation software, robotics integration, predictive maintenance, and connected smart factory platforms.

Company provides updated full-year expectations
ARMONK, N.Y., July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced second-quarter 2026 earnings results.
“We are confident in IBM’s strategy and portfolio, and in our ability to capture growth opportunities ahead. We fundamentally believe that we are in the early innings of a structural shift for business, and that our portfolio – across software, infrastructure, and consulting – is well-positioned to help our clients tap the value, and manage the challenges, of an AI-driven future,” said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer. “In addition, we are taking action to accelerate our revenue growth and profitability, driving productivity across the company with AI and automation, and heavily investing in commercializing innovation at speed and scale. We now expect constant currency revenue growth in the range of four-to-five percent, and we continue to expect free cash flow to increase by about $1 billion year-over-year for the full year.”
Full-Year 2026 Expectations
Revenue: The company now expects full-year constant currency revenue growth in the range of four-to-five percent. At current foreign exchange rates, currency is expected to be neutral to growth for the year
Free cash flow: The company continues to expect full-year free cash flow to increase by about $1 billion year-over-year
Operational Focus Areas
High-Growth Portfolio: Areas of IBM’s software business that help clients manage, deploy and build AI-ready solutions, like Red Hat, the watsonx portfolio, HashiCorp, and Confluent continue to deliver strong performance. Within Distributed Infrastructure, Power and Storage grew at a record pace in the second quarter, now having built up an order backlog of nearly $500 million. Together, these offerings closely map to where client demand is strongest. To capture these growth opportunities, IBM is accelerating changes to its go-to-market model by expanding sales coverage across thousands of additional clients where there is significant opportunity. As AI adoption moves from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, the company is also investing in more specialized technical and client-facing talent, including Forward Deployed Engineers.
Rapid Innovation at Scale: IBM is acting decisively to capture new opportunities as they arise. Lightwell, a new capability to address open source security vulnerabilities, leverages IBM and Red Hat’s trust within the open source community, unique approach to AI, and global scale. In the first two weeks of availability, Lightwell has already made more than 7,500 open source patches available to help clients secure vulnerabilities. Additionally, quantum computing continues to be an investment priority for the company. In May, with the U.S. Department of Commerce, IBM announced a letter of intent to build Anderon, the world’s first pure-play quantum wafer foundry. IBM will invest more than $10 billion in quantum over the next five years, and remains on track to deliver the first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029.
Productivity Enables Investment and Value: IBM is accelerating productivity by scaling software development leveraging AI, increasing the effectiveness of its sales and marketing organization, and optimizing its supply chain. These efforts help enhance margin and free cash flow, and strengthen the company’s ability to capture significant growth opportunities. The company now expects improved pre-tax income margin expansion for the full year.
“Although we faced revenue headwinds late in the second quarter, we continued to focus on the fundamentals of our business, including driving productivity, strengthening our portfolio, and generating free cash flow,” said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer. “In a quarter like this, it is critical that our financial and operational discipline remains strong and that we continue to invest for growth while returning value to shareholders through our dividend.”
