Air-Powered Tools Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Tool Type (Sawing and Cutting Tools, Material Removal Tools, Gun Tools, Routing Tools and Other Tool Types), Motor Type, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Air-Powered Tools Market is accounted for $98.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $186.5 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. Pneumatic or air tools are mechanical devices that use compressed air to carry out a variety of activities; they are frequently used in construction, automotive, and industrial situations. These tools are driven by an air compressor or a pneumatic motor, which creates compressed air and feeds it through a hose to the tool. The energy required to power the tool's mechanical parts, including motors, pistons, and gears, is provided by the compressed air.

According to the US Department of Energy, compressed air systems use 11% of total power and around 15% of total motor system energy in US manufacturing businesses. It further estimates that compressed air systems are used in 69% of all manufacturing plants in the United States.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for automated systems

Automated systems are in high demand since they are meant to decrease manual effort, offer precise results, and boost efficiency. They are especially popular in the industrial, manufacturing, and construction industries because they help organizations to minimize labor expenses while increasing production. Additionally, automated methods can improve accuracy while lowering the likelihood of mistakes. The market's expansion is being fuelled by these elements.

Restraint:

Limited Mobility

Connections between the tools and the compressor frequently need air hoses. This limits movement and might be difficult in small or isolated workstations. Safety risks might also arise from dragging hoses around. They use a lot of power, and the effectiveness of the system might change depending on the design and upkeep of the compressor. Higher operating expenses may result from inefficient systems. These are the things preventing the market's expansion.

Opportunity:

Increasing need for powerful tools

Power tool efficiency has been in demand as businesses and people explore for methods to save costs and boost productivity during the past several years. Power tools that are effective can assist decrease the need for human work, save time, and increase accuracy. Due to their ability to increase accuracy and perform more quickly, they are also becoming more and more common in the industrial and construction industries. These factors are promoting the market's growth.

Threat:

Fluctuations in raw material prices

Market expansion is hampered by fluctuations in raw material prices, while it is fuelled by the enormous demand for power tools in developed nations. On the other hand, fluctuations in the price of raw materials have a considerable impact on market expansion. These instruments are generally made of imported materials like steel, metal, and aluminium, and price variations are mostly influenced by changes in the exchange rate and market fluctuations. Therefore, fluctuations in raw material prices are the main obstacle to market development.

COVID-19 Impact:

Limited capacity prevented the production of air-powered tools during the COVID-19 epidemic. Low investment costs and a labor shortage impeded the sales and production of these innovative gadgets. Japan's accelerated industrialisation is anticipated to provide the market a tremendous boost in the event of a pandemic. As a result, it had a detrimental impact on numerous sectors' manufacturing processes, which considerably slowed the expansion of the market.

The drilling and fastening tools segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The drilling and fastening tools segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Drills powered by compressed air can be used for fastening and drilling. These tools are more practical than electric ones since they do not frequently overheat. Additionally, using pneumatic tools reduces hand and arm fatigue while working and afterward. Industries' top priorities are profitability and productivity. For transporting big things around heavy machinery, these tools and equipment use pressurized air to form a seal between the object and the floor.

The industrial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The industrial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Pneumatic tools are frequently used in industries including machining, construction, engineering, woodworking, and aerospace for tasks like cutting, drilling, grinding, and sanding. The increasing need for automated tools in the industrial sector, which results in higher production efficiencies and lower labour costs, is the factor that propels the sales of pneumatic tools.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing an increase in the production and sales of commercial vehicles and off-highway trucks,. In a particular factory, the majority of these systems provide compressed air to power various pieces of machinery including machine tools, painting booths, material separation, and materials handling. Additionally, the market is expanding as a result of the region's robust economic growth and growing disposable incomes.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The market is expanding as a result of the availability of low-cost labor and the presence of a sizable customer base. In addition, the expanding use of automation and robots in the manufacturing industry, the rising demand for high-quality tools, the rising acceptance of online purchasing, and the accessibility of a broad variety of pneumatic tools are all anticipated to support the market's expansion.
