Key Growth Drivers
- In car production over 55 different types of power tools are used including torque wrenches, impact drivers, air wrenches, power drills, polishing machines, air compressors, spray guns, and others. According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), a semi-government trust formulated by the department of commerce mentioned that India’s passenger car market was valued at US$ 32.70 billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach a value of US$ 54.84 billion by 2027. The increasing production of vehicles is likely to boost the demand for the power tools market.
- Steel, aluminum, zinc, and others are the key material used in manufacturing power tools. Apart from this, batteries, motors, and other electronic components are used in the production of power tools. During the COVID-19, the prices of materials have declined significantly but as the demand surged and supply reduced, the prices of these materials have soared to an all-time high, due to which the prices of power tools are also fluctuating and act as a restraint for the growth of the market.
- COVID-19 has decelerated the growth of the power tools market. This is because of the temporary shutdown of assembly lines, disruption of the supply chain, restriction on manufacturing and construction activities, and decline in the sale of automobiles. But as the market is recovering and restrictions are easing down, it is estimated that the power tools market will recover within the forecasted period.
