Analysts’ Viewpoint
Rise in adoption of clinching technology in various industries is driving the North America & Europe clinching machine market size. Clinching machines are used to join metalwork pieces by deforming two metal substrates. Portable clinching machines are gaining traction, as they can clinch three layers and offer fast operation with lateral sliding. Furthermore, they can be easily transported.
Increase in usage of metal clinchers in the automotive sector is expected to augment market statistics during the forecast period. Prominent companies in the clinching machine industry are investing significantly in R&D activities to facilitate the assembly of large-scale sheet metal parts and multi-material combination sheets.
Clinching is a process of assembling metal sheets without welding or fasteners. Clinching machine is an interlocking of two or more metal layers. Clinching can be employed to join painted or coated metal sheets without damaging the surface. Large floor mounted machines and small floor mounted machines are the two types of clinching machines available in the market in North America and Europe. Small floor mounted machines are compact, cost-effective, and offer high mobility.
Dyes and punches are various tools used in clinching. The intensity of pressure coupled with the shape of the clinching tool helps determine the mechanical interlock of materials. Clinching does not require electricity or cooling of electrodes, which is commonly associated with spot welding. Clinching machines can be used to join different materials including metals, polymers, wood, and composite materials.

Rise in Adoption of Clinching Technology in Various Industries Augmenting North America & Europe Clinching Machine Market Progress
Clinching is a better method than welding. It does not require electricity or electrode cooling, akin to welding. The method can be used on a wide range of materials. No smoke or sparks are produced, which highlights safety. Joints are not affected by changes in environmental factors. Riveted interlocks have a higher fatigue life than other systems such as welding and bonding. Clinching is an instant and time-saving process.
Clinching is energy efficient and requires no additional components to perform the process. It offers high margins due to little or no material waste, low initial cost of clinching machines, and quick payback. Thus, the technology plays a vital role in the development of machinery in various industries. This is expected to boost North America & Europe clinching machine market development during the forecast period.
Clinching is practiced in the automotive industry by OEMs and component suppliers. It is widely used to bond metal sheet parts where high strength of a joint is not required. It is employed to join thin-walled structures in the production of motor vehicles.
Automotive manufacturers are focusing on minimizing fuel consumption of vehicles. In line with this objective, manufacturers use new vehicle body shapes and materials to fabricate vehicle bodies. Thus, increase in adoption of novel materials in the automotive sector is likely to augment the North America & Europe clinching machine market value in the near future.
Clinching is less expensive than other classic material bonding methods (fusion welding, pressure welding, and classic riveting). It costs 35% to 65% lower than spot welding. The usage of sheet metal clinching machines in vehicle assembly helps save time and eliminate the additional costs related to the preparation of parts for joining.

According to the latest North America & Europe clinching machine market trends, the automotive & transport application segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Companies are engaged in continuous R&D activities with respect to clinching, its tools, and the machines involved in the process.
Clinching machine manufacturers need to focus on incorporating advanced techniques in the press joining process for high-quality product development. Technological advancements in “C-frame” clinching equipment help in combining several parts in a single operation with a low degree of complication of product shapes.
Stationary presses are provided with additional jigs or multipurpose adapters and tools. They are used to form clinched joints. Parts with more complicated shapes are joined together on specialized presses.
Rise in usage of clinching technology in the automotive sector is anticipated to drive the automotive & transport segment in the North America & Europe clinching machine market during the forecast period. Major automobile manufacturers, such as Audi, Volkswagen (Polo – VW 240), Skoda (Roomster – SK 258), Mercedes Benz (C-class), Toyota (Lexus), and Shanghai GM (Cadillac CTS), are adopting the clinching technology.
Clinched joints are increasingly employed in modern vehicle construction, especially in components of less critical importance. These joints are also often applied to vehicle body parts that are important for passive safety. Surge in usage of advanced clinching techniques in the automotive industry is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion in the next few years.
Based on distribution channel, the offline channel segment is anticipated to account for the largest share of the North America & Europe clinching machine market during the forecast period. Growth of the segment can be ascribed to instant access to products and purchasing convenience in offline channels. Offline platforms allow customers to check the quality of products on the spot.
According to the latest North America & Europe clinching machine market forecast, Europe is expected to dominate the industry during 2022 to 2031. This can be ascribed to the expansion in automotive and construction industries in the region. Germany is a leading producer of automobiles in Europe. The country also has the largest concentration of OEM plants in the region. Thus, rise in production of automobiles in Germany is fueling market progress in Europe.
Most of the companies are investing significantly in comprehensive R&D activities, primarily to introduce innovative products. They are also adopting collaboration, partnership, and M&A strategies to expand their North America & Europe clinching machine market share. Manufacturers are introducing new technologies such as C-frame and stationery press and portable clinching machines to broaden their revenue streams.
