According to OECD, world real GDP has shown a consistent surge since 2016, and the ascendancy is likely to be sustained in the long run. According to United Nations Department of Economics and Social Affairs, 68% of world’s population will live in urban areas by 2050, up from 55% currently. The direct co-relation between macroeconomic growth and portable tools sales is likely to augur well for the stakeholders in this market. The steadiness in automotive sales, especially in North America and Asia Pacific, and the long-term positive outlook on the automotive industry is likely to create opportunities for portable tool manufacturers. Growth in automotive sales directly impacts investments in repair and maintenance tools, especially among garage owners.

Rising raw material costs and intense fragmentation continue to create challenges

Rising raw material costs are eating into the profit margins of portable tool manufacturers. The impact of rising raw material prices is widespread, as entire supply chains are plunged into uncertainty. Rising cost of nickel cadmium and mercury substitutes has had a mitigating effect on cordless power tools in particular. The challenges are compounded owing to the intense fragmentation in the portable tools market, with Asia Pacific in particular witnessing proliferation of new entrants.

Increasing automation in industrialized nations and lack of DIY ethic in emerging nations pose challenges

The next industrial revolution is underway, and entire processes and operational models are being transformed. Growing investments in automation have meant that spending on portable tools has dried up. While automation emerges as a key challenge for portable tool manufacturers in developed nations, lack of DIY ethic in emerging countries has led to fewer opportunities. Although the broader outlook on the portable tools market through 2026 remains positive, portable tools industry can face severe challenges when automation becomes pervasive.
