A pneumatic bolting tool is a power tool that uses compressed air to generate torque for fastening tasks. It features a planetary gearbox connected to a pneumatic air motor, which provides a high reduction ratio for efficient torque management. This design allows operators to apply substantial torque with minimal physical effort, making it ideal for demanding tasks in various industrial settings.
The main types of pneumatic bolting tools include angle pneumatic bolting tools, inline pneumatic bolting tools, straight pneumatic bolting tools, and hex pneumatic bolting tools. Angle pneumatic bolting tools are air-powered fastening devices with an angled head, offering enhanced access and torque control for tightening or loosening bolts in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. These tools are classified into torque tools and tensioning tools based on their operations and are distributed through original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and aftermarket channels. They have various applications across industries such as oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, marine, electronics, medical, and industrial sectors.
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 pneumatic bolting tool market by increasing the cost of imported air motors, gear assemblies, steel housings, and precision components used in tool manufacturing. These effects have been most pronounced in oil and gas, automotive, and aerospace applications across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America where cross border sourcing is common. Higher tariffs have raised equipment prices and slowed replacement cycles for industrial users. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, regional component sourcing, and development of cost optimized pneumatic bolting solutions, supporting long term supply chain resilience.

The pneumatic bolting tool market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.62 billion in 2025 to $1.72 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of oil and gas infrastructure projects, expansion of automotive manufacturing, increasing reliance on pneumatic tools in heavy industries, demand for efficient fastening solutions, growth of industrial maintenance activities.
The pneumatic bolting tool market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.22 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in energy and offshore projects, increasing automation in industrial assembly, growth of aerospace manufacturing activities, demand for high precision fastening systems, expansion of aftermarket industrial tool services. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high torque pneumatic tools in heavy industries, growing demand for ergonomic and lightweight bolting tools, increasing use of precision torque and tensioning tools, expansion of pneumatic bolting tools in oil and gas maintenance, higher focus on tool durability and operational safety.
The rising automation in industrial processes is expected to drive the growth of the pneumatic bolting tool market going forward. Automation in industrial processes involves using technology to operate machinery and manage production with minimal human intervention, enhancing efficiency and precision. This trend is fueled by the need for higher productivity, cost reduction, improved safety, and the ability to quickly adapt to changing operational requirements. Automation is impacting pneumatic bolting tools by improving their efficiency and precision through advanced technologies that provide better torque control and monitoring during fastening operations. For example, in April 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based international organization, manufacturing companies in the United States significantly increased automation efforts, with total industrial robot installations rising 12% to 44,303 units in 2023. Therefore, increasing automation in industrial processes is boosting the growth of the pneumatic bolting tool market.
Major companies in the pneumatic bolting tool market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as high-efficiency, durable, and cost-effective tools, to enhance performance and reduce operational expenses. Durable and cost-effective tools are designed to withstand heavy use over time while minimizing maintenance and replacement costs. For example, in June 2024, Hydraulic Technologies USA LLC, a US-based manufacturer, launched the NRP Series-a new line of pneumatic torque wrenches engineered for high-duty performance, durability, and lower cost of ownership. The series includes five models capable of delivering torques up to 4,500 lb-ft (6,000 Nm), complementing the brand's existing hydraulic torque wrench lineup, including the TWHC, TWLC, and TWSL series. These wrenches feature high-speed continuous rotation with a two-speed, user-selectable transmission and multiple power levels, allowing variable torque output up to nearly 4,500 lb-ft (6,000 Nm), with automatic shutoff upon reaching the target torque for enhanced accuracy and safety. They also offer quiet operation, reduced vibration for operator comfort, and are constructed with high-quality materials for long-lasting industrial performance, providing a cost-effective pneumatic alternative to complement existing hydraulic torque wrenches.
In February 2023, Taurus Industrial Group, a US-based technical services provider, acquired Bolttech Mannings, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to enhance Taurus's service offerings by integrating Bolttech Mannings' expertise in technical bolting, heat treating, leak sealing, and non-destructive testing. The deal aims to broaden Taurus's capabilities and expand its reach to both existing and new blue-chip customers in the power generation, energy, and industrial markets, while also taking advantage of significant cross-selling opportunities. Bolttech Mannings Inc. is a US-based company specializing in industrial services, including pneumatic torque wrenches.
