The performance of downstream industries,in particular the machinery sectors,greatly determines the growth of the motion control market.The machine tools segment(comprising both the metal cutting and metal forming subsectors)was the largest for motion controls globally in 2016 in terms of revenue,totaling more than$4.1 billion.This sector is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.8 percent,lower than that of the total global market.As machine tools take a predominant share of downstream industries for CNC market,its slower-than-market-average growth results in the slower growth forecast for CNC products(a revenue CAGR of 4.2%)than GMC products(a 4.5%revenue CAGR).Global robotic revenues are predicted to grow the most,at a 13.3 percent CAGR from 2016 to 2021,displacing packaging machinery to become the second-largest industry for motion controls(with$1.4 billion in revenues in 2021).In addition,various end markets of food and beverages,materials handling,medical equipment,PV equipment and semiconductor machinery are expected to drive increasing demand for motion control products.However,traditional automation sectors including textile machinery,paper and paperboard machinery,printing machinery,rubber&plastics and machinery face various challenges resulting in a slower growth forecast than the market average,over the forecast period.

下游行业，特别是机械行业的表现，极大地决定了运动控制市场的增长。2016年，机床行业（包括金属切割和金属成型细分行业）占全球运动控制市场营收最大，总收入超41亿美元。该行业预计将以3.8％的年均复合增长率增长，低于全球市场总额。由于机床在数控市场占下游行业的主要份额，其低于市场平均水平的增长导致数控产品（收入年均增幅4.2％）的增长预期较GMC产品（收入年均增幅4.5％）放缓。全球机器人收入预计将增长最多，从2016年到2021年，复合增长率达到13.3％，紧随其后的是包装机械行业（2021年收入为14亿美元）。此外，食品饮料、物料搬运、医疗器械、光伏设备、半导体机械等终端市场有望推动运动控制产品需求的增长。不过，纺织机械、纸张和纸板机械、印刷机械、橡胶和塑料机械等传统自动化行业面临着各种挑战，导致在预测期内，增长预期低于市场平均水平。
