Based on type, the vertical milling machine segment was worth around USD 10.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 20.6 billion by 2032. Vertical milling machines are often more cost-effective for smaller batch production runs or prototypes. They generally have lower initial costs and can be more economical to operate and maintain over time. These factors boost the demand for vertical milling machines. Therefore, vertical milling machines are preferred over horizontal milling machines due to several advantages such as versatility, ease of setup, space efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with automation.  

On the other hand, horizontal milling machine is machine where spindle is horizontally oriented and cutting tool moves parallel to the horizontal axis of the workpiece. Horizontal milling machines facilitate easier chip evacuation, allowing metal swarf to naturally fall away under gravity. This feature minimizes the accumulation of chips on cutting tools, leading to enhanced machining efficiency and improved surface finishes. Sectors like aerospace, automotive, and energy industries demand robust machining capabilities for machining large components. Horizontal milling machines are favored in these industries due to their strength and capability to tackle rigorous machining operations effectively.
