The power tools market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a substantial growth in the size of the power tools market. A rise from $41.51 billion in 2024 to $44.36 billion in 2025 is anticipated, corresponding to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The expansion during the historical period is linked to factors including the booming construction and DIY sectors, the enlargement of manufacturing and fabrication, the increasing demand for efficient and cordless tools, a surge in home improvement initiatives, and the enactment of regulatory standards promoting tool safety.
The power tools market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated robust expansion is on the cards for the power tools market in the coming years, with projected growth leading to an estimated value of $59.97 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
This potential growth during the predicted period is influenced by factors such as the popularity of bespoke power tools for specialised professions, the emergence of environmentally friendly tool designs, the expansion of electric and cordless tool options, innovative advances in intelligent and interconnected power tools, plus increased usage of precision tools and microtools. Key trends for the forecast period comprise intelligent, IoT-connected power tools, compliance with safety regulations for power tools, ergonomic tool designs that prioritise user comfort, tailored tool kits for professionals, and transparency in both tool performance and maintenance.
The power tools market has seen significant growth thanks to the industrial sector's expansion. The industrial sector, characterized by a broad spectrum of economic activities such as large-scale production, manufacturing, and the processing of goods and services, fuels the demand for power tools in production and upkeep.
