The global tools market size is expected to reach USD 61.84 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is attributed to increasing construction spending in developing countries around the world. Manufacturers are continuously introducing new and improved tools equipped with advanced features, such as enhanced performance, durability, and user-friendly designs. For instance, power tools now come with brushless motors for increased efficiency, lithium-ion batteries for longer runtime, and ergonomic designs for improved comfort during prolonged use. These technological advancements make power and hand tools more attractive to both professionals and DIY enthusiasts, leading to increased demand. The construction & infrastructure sectors are experiencing significant growth worldwide, driven by urbanization, population growth, and government investments in infrastructure development.
These projects require a wide range of power tools and hand tools for tasks, such as excavation, concrete work, carpentry, plumbing, and electrical installations. As construction activity intensifies, the demand for tools used in building, renovation, and maintenance projects increases, contributing to the overall market growth. The growing preference for DIY is particularly prompting power tool vendors to introduce affordable and easy-to-use power tools featuring long-lasting batteries for household usage. Home improvement activities typically call for power tools, such as power drills, circular saws, impact wrenches, hammer drills, and grinders. These power tools are available in the market in a diverse range and can be used for various applications, such as roofing, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and landscaping, among others. As the trend of undertaking these activities is expected to continue over the next few years, the demand for power tools is also anticipated to gain traction over the forecast period.
At the same time, an upsurge in technical jobs, particularly at professional contractors undertaking home improvement and remodeling projects, has also paved the way for the growth of the power tools market. In various industries, such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive, there is a growing emphasis on improving productivity and efficiency. Power tools and hand tools play a crucial role in achieving these goals by enabling workers to complete tasks more quickly and accurately. For instance, power drills, saws, and impact drivers allow for faster assembly, cutting, and fastening, while hand tools like wrenches and pliers facilitate precise adjustments and repairs. As businesses seek to streamline their operations and meet tight deadlines, the demand for tools that enhance productivity continues to rise.
