Market Dynamics

The tremendous adoption of DC torque tools in the wind energy industry has escalated the market growth for the product.

The tremendous adoption of DC Torque Tools in the wind energy industry has escalated the market growth for the product

Wind energy in the U.S. increased rapidly in 2020, making it the country's leading source of new electric-generating capacity additions.

In 2020, 16,836 megawatts (MW) of wind capacity were added to the U.S., bringing 121,955 MW. For the first time in past years, wind power installations outperformed solar power installations, with around US$24.6 billion in investment. In 16 states, wind generates more than 10% of electricity, and in Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and North Dakota, it generates more than 30%.

Wind energy capacity expansions have been fueled by improvements in the cost and performance of wind power technology and the Production Tax Credit, resulting in low-cost wind energy. The average nameplate capacity of wind turbines was 2.75 MW in 2019, rising 8% from 2019 and 284 percent since 1998-1999. Wind's total health, environment, and grid-system advantages are nearly three times its Levelized energy cost.

The growth of wind energy has created huge growth opportunities for the DC torque tool.

Typically, the wind industry requires high torque fastening, which pneumatic tools fulfill. However, the growing development of powerful tools and benefits such as quality control, ergonomics, and convenience provided by cordless power tools, particularly in offshore wind installation, are important reasons to boost the demand for DC Torque Tools in the wind turbine industry.

Unsuitability in harsh environmental conditions and high cost of maintenance hurdles the market growth for DC torque tools

The DC control tool is a technology that speeds up the torque and automation processes while also providing precise, accurate, and repeatable torque control. Due to its great performance, manufacturers of torque fastening systems may optimize the assembly area while lowering labor costs and increasing productivity.

However, the unsuitability of the tool in harsh conditions limits the product's performance spectrum, therefore returning and challenging the market growth. Furthermore, the high cost of automotive DC torque tools reduces the purchasing demand for the product; particularly, higher costs associated with the maintenance and acquisition of these products may restrict the industry share over the forecast period.

In addition, Torque reaction is present in heavy power tools, which might result in a user wrist injury. Excessive usage of fastening tools might cause them to overheat.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a severe impact on a variety of significant processes and industries, including energy and power, industrial, medical and others. The virus's rapid spread has prompted governments worldwide to impose stringent human and vehicle movement restrictions.

For instance, the wind turbine market's growth was moderately influenced by the COVID-19 outbreak in Q1 2020 regarding delays in manufacturing and supplying new turbines, capacity addition projections, and financial issues for leading companies' value chains. Wind energy installations have decreased by 30% compared to industry estimates.

Furthermore, due to the statewide lockdown, the supply chain and production of components, equipment, and systems and the supply of raw materials for manufacturing components utilized in a DC torque tool are all disrupted.

Segment Analysis

The global DC torque tool market is segmented based on type, power source, control system, end-user and region.

Fast charging techniques, more efficiency, and decreasing prices of Li-Ion batteries have escalated the adoption of cordless DC torque tools.

The global DC torque tool market is segmented into corded and cordless based on the power source. Due to the advantages of cordless DC torque tools, the market for cordless DC torque tools is predicted to develop a faster CAGR than corded tools.

For example, when using a cordless tool, operators can go in and out of the automobile to complete the assembly. As a result, convenience, ergonomics, and portability are primary characteristics that support cordless DC Torque Tools demand.

Furthermore, the growing market for cordless fastening tools is aided by the demand for brushless DC motors. The need for DC torque tools is fueled by advancements in battery technology and lower Li-Ion battery prices.

The advancement of batteries and the quick replacement of Ni-Cd batteries with Li-Ion batteries have helped cordless tools capture a larger share of the DC torque tool systems market. Furthermore, acceptable and rapidly changing technologies fueled the cordless segment's growth.
