Hand Tools Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The huge demand from developing economies is notably driving the hand tools market growth, although factors such as fluctuating raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the hand tools industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Hand Tools Market Driver
The huge demand from developing economies is one of the key drivers supporting the hand tools market growth. Typically, rapid industrialization in economies such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) is creating considerable demand for hand tools. Growing investments in the manufacturing sector in developing countries are further increasing the consumption of hand tools. Hence, the rise in industrialization is expected to support the demand for hand tools during the forecast period. Several other regions, such as South America and MEA, are also exhibiting an increase in manufacturing activities, particularly in the consumer durables sector. As these regions are undergoing rapid urbanization, manufacturers and customers seek new and technologically advanced products, which is further driving the market growth.
Key Hand Tools Market Trend
The introduction of ergonomically designed hand tools is one of the key hand tools market trends contributing to the market growth. Several vendors are focusing on improving the ergonomics of their hand tools to prevent accidents, which are common in industrial and commercial facilities while using hand tools. Ergonomically designed hand tools improve the comfort of users and reduce the limitations associated with hand tools. To reduce the number of accidents in industrial and commercial facilities, organizations such as the OSHA and the ANSI have implemented regulations that specify the design and features of hand tools. Such regulations also improve the ergonomics of hand tools. Hence, such innovations in the design of hand tools will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Hand Tools Market Challenge
Fluctuating raw material prices is one of the factors hindering the hand tools market growth. Substrates, such as iron, steel, aluminum, plastic, and carbon fibers, are mainly used for the production of hand tools. The fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and the increasing competition from local manufacturers, especially in emerging economies, are posing a strong challenge to the vendors in the global hand tools market and impacting the final prices of hand tools. Moreover, the fluctuations in raw material prices and crude oil prices bring uncertainties to the market and adversely affect production costs. Hence, the fluctuations in raw material and crude oil prices would negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
