August 2025 U.S. slicing device consumption totaled $210.6 million, in accordance with the newest Chopping Device Market Report (CTMR) printed by the U.S. Chopping Device Institute (USCTI) and the Affiliation for Manufacturing Expertise (AMT).
That complete was down 2.7% from July 2025, and down 1.8% from August 2024. The month-to-month lower in August adopted a 4.9% enhance in July, whereas the year-over-year lower adopted a 9.8% uptick. Via August, year-to-date slicing device orders had been down 2.7% from the identical interval a yr in the past.
““Key markets proceed to battle to achieve traction as we strategy the ultimate quarter of 2025,” stated Steve Boyer, president of USCTI. “Whereas shipments of slicing instruments have fallen wanting their 2024 ranges in all however one month this yr, July 2025 cargo numbers had been considerably higher than the earlier yr, and aerospace has been a section of power. Some optimism exists with the de-escalation of conflict within the Center East and hope for sustainable peace. Nevertheless, the load of uncertainty with tariffs continues to hinder confidence and funding within the quick time period.”
Bret Tayne, president of Everede Device Firm, stated: “Uncertainty in regards to the unfolding tariff scenario and industry-specific challenges in among the largest slicing device buyer segments seem like the most important hurdles affecting gross sales. As tariffs and different measures turn into extra secure, and with an help from declining rates of interest, the slicing device buyer base might even see some development once more as we end out the yr and head into 2026.”
The CTMR is collectively compiled by AMT and USCTI, two commerce associations representing the event, manufacturing and distribution of slicing device expertise and merchandise. It supplies a month-to-month assertion on U.S. producers’ consumption of what they tout as the first consumable within the manufacturing course of — the slicing device.
