World demand to rise 4.5%
annually through 2016
World power tool demand is forecast to
increase 4.5 percent annually through
2016 to $28.1 billion. Gains will be driven
primarily by the bedrock US market,
especially as a rebound in US housing
starts increases the number of profes-
sional tool users. Manufacturing activity
in the country -- especially motor vehicle
production -- is also expected to signif-
cantly improve, further boosting power
tool demand, especially for pneumatic
tools. Outside of the US, the best
opportunities will exist in the developing
countries of Asia. India will post the
fastest gains, due to robust growth in
construction, albeit from a small base.
China will also record healthy growth,
and is expected to overtake Japan as
the second largest market behind the
US. Nevertheless, power tool demand
will continue to be greatest in industrial-
ized countries.
Cordless electric tools to
be fastest growing type
Cordless electric tool demand will
experience the most robust growth
through 2016, advancing 8.3 percent per
year. Due to their inherent convenience
and mobility, cordless tools will continue
to replace plug-in models. Technological
improvements in the battery industry
have increased the power and running
time of cordless equipment, allowing
these products to overcome historical
price and performance disadvantages.
Due to their lower weight and smaller
size, lithium-ion batteries are rapidly
displacing nickel-cadmium models.
In the aggregate, electric power tools
account for the majority of all power tool
demand, as they are used extensively by
both professionals and consumers in
most applications. Demand for pneu-
matic tools, which are used almost
exclusively by professionals, will be
spurred by rising motor vehicle produc-
tion and construction spending. Demand
for engine-driven and other tool types
(e.g., hydraulic, powder-actuated) will
beneft from a recovery in the worlds
forestry industry, as lumber is a key
material used in the construction indus-
try. The continued need for these tools in
niche applications, such as metal joining,
will also support advances.
Dominant pro market to
outpace consumer demand
Through 2016, growth in professional
demand, which accounted for 70 percent
of global power tool sales in 2011, will
outpace that in consumer demand. The
three major professional outlets are the
construction, automotive repair, and
manufacturing industries. Consumer
users of power tools include hobbyists
and homeowners. Demand for power
tools in the consumer market will be
limited by a relative lack of do-it-yourself
(DIY) activity in developing areas of Asia,
where inexpensive labor is plentiful.

ASIA/PACIFIC
China: Demand by Type & Market
Demand for power tools in China is expected to grow 8.7 percent
per year to $2.5 billion in 2016, increasing at the second fastest rate of
any country worldwide. Growth will beneft from the continued expan-
sion of the Chinese economy, although gains will come at a slower pace
than that of the last decade. Specifcally, fxed investment spending will
support advances. For example, construction of the Shanghai Tower is
expected to be completed in 2014.
All major types of power tools will record strong advances through
2016. Electric tools, which will increase at the fastest rate, will be stimu-
lated by Chinas growing construction industry. In particular, cordless
electric tools will increase at the fastest rate, since their greater conve-
nience and ease of use are preferred by professional users. Pneumatic
tools will beneft from increases in manufacturing output. Specifcally,
motor vehicle production will bolster demand for pneumatic tools, as
both domestic and foreign demand for automobiles rise.
The professional market for power tools will continue to account
for the vast majority of all power tool sales. Many consumers lack inter-
est in DIY activities and choose to hire professionals to do repair tasks.
However, while consumer demand remains small in the country, Chinas
growing middle class will provide some opportunities for growth.
Shipments of power tools from facilities in China are forecast to
expand at a 6.2 percent annual rate through 2016 to $9.0 billion, contrib-
uting to the countrys expanding trade surplus. Shipment gains will ben-
eft from continued demand in the domestic Chinese market, as well as
investment on the part of multinational companies in Chinese manufac-
turing facilities. Additionally, recovery in the key US market will boost
production, since China is the largest external supplier of power tools to
the US. The Chinese industry also exports to other developed nations

Table & Forecast
Chinese shipments of power tools
reached $6.6 billion in 2011, accounting
for nearly 60 percent of all Asia/Pacic
production. China is the largest net
exporter of power tools in the world.
In fact, the country ran a trade surplus
equivalent to three-fourths of its total
shipments in 2011. Because China is
such an important supplier of power
tools, Chinese production was adversely
affected by declines in many West
European countries, as well as in the US,
during the 2006-2011 period.
