The global power tools market was valued at USD 31.08 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is largely driven by the increasing infrastructure development initiatives undertaken by governments worldwide, which are expected to elevate the demand for power tools used in construction activities. These infrastructure projects, especially in non-residential construction, are likely to lead to significant investments, further boosting the demand for power tools throughout the forecast period.
However, the market was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a severe effect on economies worldwide. The pandemic led to a slowdown in consumer spending, disrupted global supply chains, and caused the temporary closure of manufacturing plants, particularly in the early months of 2020. This disruption resulted in product shortages and revenue declines for companies operating in the power tools sector.

Another notable trend in the power tools market is the growing popularity of cordless power tools. These battery-operated, portable tools—such as crimpers, hammer drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, and circular saws—are increasingly being adopted for a wide range of applications in construction, maintenance, repair, sanding, metalworking, and welding, among others. The shift toward cordless tools, especially those powered by lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, is replacing older models that use traditional batteries like nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), as Li-ion batteries offer better performance, longer life, and lighter weight.
Technological advancements are also playing a pivotal role in driving market growth. Manufacturers are introducing innovative products to improve the efficiency and functionality of power tools. For example, Dewalt's Flexvolt battery is designed to automatically adjust its voltage depending on the tool it is connected to. This automatic voltage switching capability provides users with more precise control over the power output, enhancing the performance and versatility of both cordless and corded power tools.
