Portable grinders are handheld power tools designed for grinding, cutting, polishing, and surface finishing on materials such as metal, wood, and concrete. They feature rotating abrasive discs or wheels and are widely used in construction, metalworking, and fabrication. Their compact and lightweight design provides flexibility and ease of use across various work environments.
The primary types of portable grinders include pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric models. Pneumatic grinders, powered by compressed air, are preferred for industrial and heavy-duty applications due to their high power and efficiency. Common grinder types include angle grinders, belt grinders, and die grinders. These tools are utilized in industries such as metalworking, shipbuilding, construction, automotive, and aerospace and are suitable for industrial, commercial, and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects.
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 portable grinders market by increasing the cost of imported electric motors, lithium-ion batteries, electronic controllers, and precision mechanical components. These impacts are most evident in cordless and high-performance electric grinders, particularly across asia-pacific and europe where component sourcing is globally distributed. Higher tariffs have led to increased product prices and margin pressure for manufacturers and distributors. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local assembly, domestic component sourcing, and regional manufacturing investments, supporting supply chain diversification and long-term resilience.

The portable grinders market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.27 billion in 2025 to $5.58 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in construction activities, expansion of metal fabrication industries, increased infrastructure development, demand for portable power tools, adoption of mechanized surface finishing.
The portable grinders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in electric vehicle manufacturing, rising renovation and remodeling activities, increasing focus on workplace safety, demand for energy-efficient power tools, expansion of aerospace and automotive production. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of cordless and battery-powered grinders, rising demand for lightweight and ergonomic tool designs, increased use of high-torque and variable speed grinders, expansion of multi-application grinding tools, focus on enhanced safety and dust control features.
The growth in construction activities is expected to drive the portable grinders market going forward. Construction activities involve the planning, designing, and execution of building, infrastructure, and civil engineering projects. This sector is expanding due to rising infrastructure development and increasing demand for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Portable grinders are employed in construction for cutting, grinding, and polishing materials, ensuring smooth surfaces and precise finishes. For example, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian government agency, the number of dwellings under construction in the March quarter of 2023 rose to 240,813 from 240,065 in 2022, with new houses totaling 103,778 in 2023, up from 101,240 the previous year. Therefore, the expansion of construction activities is fueling the growth of the portable grinders market.
Companies in the portable grinders market are focusing on technological advancements such as double air inlet cooling systems to improve efficiency, extend tool lifespan, and boost performance during heavy usage. This system works by drawing air through two separate inlets, enhancing airflow, improving heat dissipation, and preventing overheating in high-performance tools. For instance, in January 2023, Robert Bosch GmbH, a German engineering company, launched the GWS 800 professional angle grinder in India. It features an 800W motor, an ergonomic design, and a double-air inlet cooling system, ensuring better grinding and cutting performance. The GWS 800 Professional is manufactured in Bosch's Chennai plant, increasing its localization share in India to 55%. The product is competitively priced and aimed at fabricators, electricians, plumbers, masons, and carpenters.
