DIY trend complementing growth from traditional end users

DIY trend is steadily gaining ground, thanks to a range of factors ranging from doorstep delivery through e-commerce, free how-to content on popular video streaming sites, and conscious cost-cutting measures. Pursuing DIY projects as a hobby has also led to a surge in demand for portable tools in the residential segment.

Sustained demand from metal fabrication industry

Sustained demand from metal fabrication industry has traditionally offered support to global portable tools sales; the status quo is unlikely to change over the course of the forecast period. The metal fabrication industry is likely to maintain its y-o-y growth rate of over 2% in the long term. Demand for specialized tools that do not pose challenges in terms of inventory and storage overheads is likely to augur well for the growth of the market.

E-commerce offering greater visibility and reach

Availability of portable tools on e-commerce platforms has offered manufacturers new ways of reaching out to their target audience. Doorstep delivery, discounts, and detailed instructions on using portable products are key USPs of e-commerce sellers. The growing DIY ethic is also influencing online sales positively, as a significant percentage of first-timers look for specific information on instructions.

Regulations on occupational safety fuel adoption

Government mandates pertaining to occupational health safety continue to fuel adoption of personal protective equipment. The adoption is particularly impressive in industries where workers are at relatively higher risk. Increasing awareness on the importance of personal protective equipment, combined with growing preference towards efficient and low-maintenance products continue to induce momentum in the market.

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.

Personal protection equipment (PPE) – top-selling portable tools globally

Personal protection equipment (PPE) is the most lucrative segment, with an estimated one-third revenue share of the market. Stringency in occupational safety regulations, combined with increasing awareness on the importance of worker safety are driving adoption of personal protection equipment among end users. Among the various types of PPE available in the market, demand is highest for foot and leg protection equipment. Power tools are the second largest category in terms of revenue share, driven by shifting preference away from hand tools. Impact drivers are the top-selling power tools, with impact wrench a close second.

Demand from industrial sector higher than commercial sector

Demand for portable tools from industrial sector is higher than commercial sector. Portable tools, such as power tools, personal protective equipment, and garage equipment witness higher demand in a range of industries. High demand for lighting tools and hand tools is witnessed among commercial and household & DIY users. The pace of adoption of new and innovative technologies is slower in commercial applications vis-à-vis industrial applications, owing to which the industrial segment is likely to maintain its lucrativeness in the long run.

Retail outlets largest sales channel, ‘online’ gaining market share

Online sales are eating into the revenue share of retail outlets and distributors, promoting the latter to make a foray into the e-commerce segment. Online sales growth is likely to be 1.2X than distributor sales. There are certain categories of products specifically suited to online sales. These include portable tools, lighting tools, and power tools. Although online channels have been well-received by end users in North America and Europe, emerging nations have significant growth potential.

EU5: the most lucrative market for portable tools globally

Europe has traditionally been a lucrative market for portable tools manufacturers. Steady demand from industrial sector, combined with growing adoption in landscaping and DIY projects has ensured a steady stream of opportunities. Demand for portable tools in Europe remains concentrated in EU5, and the scenario is likely to remain unchanged during the assessment period.
