China Power Tools & Hand Tools Market Growth & Trends

The China power tools and hand tools market size is projected to reach USD 12.25 billion by 2028, expanding at a 6.7% CAGR from 2021 to 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The promising growth prospects of the market can be attributed to the increased focus of the government on infrastructure expansion plans associated with the One Belt One Route (OBOR) initiative. Moreover, increasing focus on strengthening domestic capabilities of batteries and improving technical capabilities of semiconductor technology companies in China are also expected to favor the market growth over the forecast period. On the flip side, fluctuating raw materials prices are expected to hinder the market growth over the medium term.

China's power tool industry is a powerhouse in manufacturing and exporting power tools, accounting for about 80% of the global industry. However, the recent U.S.-China trade war negatively affected the market and China’s share in the export of power tools declined in 2019. To add to this, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a sharp decline in power tool production in Q4/2019. These issues could hamper the China power & hand tools market over the forecast period.

Over the next few years, China is expected to witness an increase in homeownership, which is presumed to bode well for the market growth. As more Chinese citizens seek their own homes and apartments, the preference for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) among individuals for home improvement activities such as roofing, kitchen, bathroom remodeling, and landscaping is expected to create the demand for power & hand tools in the country. Additionally, Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) trends owing to low-cost labor, which is still a preferred option for Chinese citizens for home improvements activities, could also favor the market growth over the assessment period.
