Power tools are mechanical devices powered by external sources such as electricity, batteries, or compressed air, designed to perform tasks more efficiently and with less manual effort compared to hand tools. Hand tools, on the other hand, rely on manual effort and are essential for basic, everyday tasks.
The main types of power and hand tools include secateurs, hammers, spanners, and others. Secateurs are hand tools specifically used for cutting and trimming small branches, stems, and plants in gardening and horticulture. Various technologies used in power tools include engine drivers, hydraulic and powder-actuated systems, pneumatic systems, and electric systems. These technologies cater to a range of applications across different fields such as electronics, construction, aerospace, and automobiles.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the power and hand tools market by increasing costs of imported steel components, electric motors, batteries, and precision parts used in tool manufacturing. These effects are most pronounced across construction, automotive, and industrial segments, particularly in asia pacific and north america where global sourcing is common. Higher tariffs have led to increased product prices and margin pressure for manufacturers and distributors. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging localized production, supplier diversification, and development of cost optimized and durable tool solutions.

The power and hand tools market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $12.32 billion in 2025 to $12.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in construction and infrastructure activities, rising industrialization across emerging economies, increasing demand for productivity improvement tools, expansion of automotive manufacturing, widespread use of manual tools for basic applications.
The power and hand tools market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.68 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of cordless and electric tools, growth in smart manufacturing facilities, increasing investments in infrastructure development, demand for precision tools in aerospace and electronics, expansion of electric vehicle production. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of battery powered and cordless tools, growing demand for ergonomic and lightweight tool designs, increasing use of high performance tools in construction projects, expansion of power tools in automotive and aerospace applications, growing preference for durable and multi functional hand tools.
The growth of the construction industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the power and hand tools market. The construction industry involves the planning, designing, development, and construction of buildings, infrastructure, and other physical structures. The rise in construction activities is fueled by factors such as urbanization, population growth, infrastructure development, technological advancements, and economic growth. Power and hand tools are essential for enhancing efficiency, speed, and precision in construction tasks, which contributes to the overall success and quality of projects. For example, in November 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government agency, reported that new construction activities increased by £18,161 million ($19.96 million) in 2022, with private sector projects expanding by 16.8% and public sector projects rising by 13.1%. This growth in the construction sector will drive demand for power and hand tools.
Leading companies in the power and hand tools market are emphasizing the development of battery-powered tools that offer real-time monitoring and ergonomic designs to boost user productivity. Battery-powered tools operate on rechargeable batteries rather than direct electricity, providing portability and convenience. Common examples include drills, saws, and screwdrivers used in cordless applications across construction, maintenance, and DIY projects. For instance, in January 2024, DEWALT, a US-based power tool manufacturer, introduced the DEWALT POWERSHIFT system, a fully electric equipment range tailored for the concrete industry. The POWERSHIFT system utilizes a 554 Wh battery platform to optimize power distribution, extend runtime, enable faster recharge cycles, and maintain consistent power output. The range comprises a power pack, battery, and charging infrastructure designed to streamline on-site operations, reduce noise, and enhance overall performance.
In November 2023, Snap-on Incorporated, a US-based provider of tools, equipment, diagnostics, repair information, and system solutions for professional technicians, acquired Mountz, Inc. for around $40 million. Through this acquisition, Snap-on seeks to expand its precision torque tool offerings in key industries such as aerospace, transportation, and advanced manufacturing, strengthening its commercial and industrial product portfolio. Mountz, Inc. is a US-based developer of high-precision torque tools, measurement and calibration equipment, and related documentation products.
