Power Tool Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Power tool manufacturers have faced a rollercoaster of economic conditions in recent years. The initial boost from low interest rates in 2020 and 2021 spurred residential construction and a surge in DIY projects. This environment offered a lifeline when other construction markets lagged. However, the tide turned in 2022 and 2023 when interest rate hikes chilled the market, hitting consumer confidence and slowing sales. Despite signs of recovery as of late 2024, persistent challenges like high input costs and increasing tariffs have continued to weigh heavily, creating an uncertain landscape as manufacturers navigate volatile market conditions. Despite volatility in residential construction, infrastructure and industrial construction activity have boosted power tool sales, offering some reprieve. Industry revenue has been decreasing at a CAGR of 0.4% over the past five years to total an estimated $4.2 billion in 2025, including an estimated increase of 1.8% in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • Infrastructure and industrial projects have been a saving grace for power tool sales. Legislation like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has driven demand, though potential rollbacks in the Inflation Reduction Act provisions could threaten this growth.
  • The newly imposed tariffs will significantly increase costs for power tool manufacturers relying on imported components. These higher input costs will likely lead to increased retail prices, squeezing providers’ profitability and potentially reducing consumer demand for power tools.
  • The Great Lakes are home to many manufacturing industries, making it a great location to set up factories. It also has multiple trade ports, providing easy access to Canada.
  • New companies have a lot on their plates and have to compete with recognizable name brands. Lowering prices or offering a niche product is one way to gain customers.
