Power Tools Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Growing construction industry in emerging economies
Rising construction activities across the world result in the growth of the construction industry. Factors such as the rising population in both developed and developing countries, rapid urbanization, and the increasing number of residential and commercial construction projects are fueling the need for advanced infrastructural development.
Infrastructural development projects include projects dealing with the development of roads, railways, airports, energy, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings. A wide range of power tools such as cordless drills, demolition jackhammers, circular saws, jigsaws, and reciprocation saws are widely used at construction sites, as it requires specialized and powerful tools for drilling, demolition of stones or concrete bricks, cutting wooden pieces, fastening screws, which can be used for both industrial and residential construction projects.
RESTRAINT: Fluctuations in raw material prices
The manufacturing of power tools requires resin and ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel, zinc, copper, brass, aluminum, and nickel. These tools also require other components such as batteries, motors, brushes, belts, power cords, and other electronic components.
The rising variation in the cost of materials, component parts, or finished goods could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies, or an inability to market products. The highly varying raw material costs also lead to ineffective price management and fluctuations in profit margins. These instabilities in raw material prices also result in the increased price of power tools and affect the sales of power tools, thereby restraining the growth of the power tools market.
OPPORTUNITY: Growing demand for power tools for household applications
Consumers prefer manual working or hand tools in residential applications such as repairing furniture, fittings, or cutting in plumbing and electrification and residential construction projects. The residential applications carried out by the households themselves are known as Do-it-yourself (DIY) applications. However, using hand tools requires much energy and is time-consuming.
Power tools are gaining traction among residential users to repair furniture and remodel and refurbish existing homes. These tools are efficient, quick, and easy to cut, drill, and fasten. These tools help easily complete time-consuming residential construction and repair tasks without causing any disruptions. Electric cordless power tools are highly adopted by residential users owing to the rising demand for flexible, portable, and compact tools. These household power tools include hammer, cordless drills, jigsaws, sanders, cutters, electric screwdrivers, etc.
CHALLENGE: Designing ergonomic and lightweight power tools
Currently, power tool manufacturing companies are facing the challenge of designing tools to fit operators’ needs. Misuse of electrically powered portable tools can cause many fatal and painful injuries. Presently, customers are looking for tools that offer desired performance, along with a conformable ergonomic design. Ergonomically designed tools reduce fatigue and physical stress and increase user performance.
Such tools also prevent and reduce the health problems associated with or caused by using specific power tools. Ergonomically designed power tools provide better comfort and control to the operator, allowing the work to be completed with ease and less fatigue. Besides, features such as vibration reduction and non-slip grips, balancing tools for heavier machines, lightweight housings, and extra handles help enhance user comfort and efficiency while using the power tools. With the development of cordless tools, the addition of battery elements in power tools has increased the tool's weight. Therefore, the ergonomic and lightweight design of the tool is an important concern for tool manufacturers. To overcome these design-related challenges, manufacturers need to focus more on the ergonomic design and comfort of a user than on the capacity and battery run time of a power tool.
Power Tools Market Size Segment Overview
Material Removal Power Tools is projected to witness the higher growth during forecast period
Material removal tools to grow at higher CAGR during the forecast period. These tools are end-effectors used for removing unwanted materials from the workpieces in order to produce the desired shape.
Various material removal tools used in industrial and residential applications include sanders/polishers/buffers, air scalers, and grinders. These tools are ergonomically designed for the comfort and safety of the users. Either electric or pneumatic power sources power these tools. Cordless electric material removal tools are highly adopted for various industrial applications which are responsible for segmental growth.
Electric power tools held largest share of power tools market in 2021
The most widely used electric power tools are power saws, electric planes, electric milling cutters, electric mortising machines, electric wrenches, power grinders, electric drills, and portable parquet finishers. Corded electric tools are plug-and-play tools, whereas cordless tools are easy to operate, efficient, and handy. Due to their ergonomic advantages, end users prefer cordless tools over conventional tools. The rising demand for lightweight, portable, flexible, and compact tools, as well as the increasing DIY trend among homeowners, is boosting the adoption of electric power tools for residential/DIY applications.
Residential/DIY to be the fastest-growing segment in power tools market during forecast period
Power tools are designed for specific purposes such as drilling, fastening, material removing, cutting, and grinding, and are used for residential/DIY applications. The demand for power tools for residential applications is propelled by the availability of cordless tools, as well as the increasing popularity of the do-it-yourself (DIY) trend. Do-it-yourself (DIY) users prefer smaller and lighter power tools while making ordinary trades. Thus, there is a growing tendency to prefer small, ergonomic tools that are more powerful than traditional ones. This has led to a significant increase in demand for smaller and lighter power tools.
Asia Pacific to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period
The market in Asia Pacific is likely to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, attributed to the increasing demand for power tools in major countries such as China and Japan. Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. One of the major factors driving the growth of the power tools market in the region is the rising road construction and infrastructure activities, especially in emerging economies such as China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The construction industry in Asia Pacific can be seen developing at a high pace. The low-priced power tools have created intense competition among manufacturers. Techtronic Industries Co Ltd. (Hong Kong), Uryu Seisaku (Japan), and Makita Corporation (Japan) are the leading power tool manufacturers in the Asia Pacific.
