Market Overview

Indexable inserts refer to replaceable cutting tips made of carbide, ceramics or cubic boron nitride (CBN) that are used in cutting tools for machining applications such as turning, drilling and milling. Indexable inserts provide precision, durability and cost-effectiveness compared to solid carbide tools as the worn inserts can be replaced, restoring the cutting edge. They find widespread use in automotive, aerospace, die and mold manufacturing industries where close-tolerance and high-precision machining is required.

The global indexable inserts market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7.03 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.3% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
