Study Highlights
• World demand for power tools is projected to increase
5.8 percent per year (including price increases)
though 2005 to $24.6 billion.
• The most significant opportunities exist in China,
due to the vast population base and rising construction
expenditures. Above-average growth is also
expected in Latin America and the Africa/Mideast
region, as well as in most of Eastern Europe.
• The growing popularity of "do-it-yourself" home
repairs, as evidenced by the rising number of books
and television shows dedicated to the topic, will
create opportunities in the US and Western Europe.
• Electric tools ( plug and cordless) dominate world
demand, comprising nearly three-fourths of power
tool sales in 2000.
• Although advances for consumer users have outpaced
the professional market in recent years, the professional
market will remain dominant due to the rising
levels of capital investment globally, which will boost
construction expenditures.
• The top four power tools producers -- Black &
Decker, Bosch, Atlas Copco and Makita -- accounted
for over 29 percent of the global market in 2000.
* Excluded from the study are non-powered hand tools, as well
as machine tools.

Market Environment
The Market Environment Section
discusses key indicators that drive
demand for power tools, including
demographic and social trends and
Freedonia’s uniquely developed
macroeconomic indicators.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
This information provides you with an
understanding and an analysis of the
climate in which the global power tools
industry operates and helps you build
your market strategy to sustain longterm
growth.
Power Tools Pricing Patterns
Prices of power tools vary across product types, from a few dollars for accessories
such as drill bits to hundreds of dollars for advanced items such as power drills.
Pricing also varies within product categories. For example, electric grinders can
SAMPLE PAGE
range anywhere from about $30 to over $150. On average, prices of tools are
expected to increase two percent annually through 2005. Advances will be limited
by continued pricing competition, especially in light of the consolidating
distribution channels in the industry. In addition, competition from lower cost
producing nations will continue to limit gains. However, these factors will be
offset somewhat by a changing product mix in favor of more powerful tools, and
rising raw material costs.
Maintaining established trends, the product mix of tools will continue to shift in
favor of higher-end, power products as professional users seek more reliable and
efficient capital equipment to improve profitability. The consumer market will
also shift somewhat in favor of more powerful and expensive tools, as do-ityourselfers
(DIYers) and hobbyists seek professional-grade equipment.
The ability of producers to develop higher-end, new technology for power tools
will enable pricing gains to continue through 2005. Professional users and avid
DIYers are often willing to pay a premium for improved performance. Opportunities
also exist for developers of more ergonomically designed products, which carry
a premium in the professional market. However, pricing is expected to become
increasingly competitive due to pressures from producers with low production
costs. Pricing growth in developed markets will also be slowed somewhat by
weakening demand, and by the consolidation of distribution channels to the retail
market. As the major chain home improvement outlets continue their supplantation
of small hardware stores, these chains are able to negotiate lower prices in

2005, spurred by the rising level of construction expenditures, particularly in
developing regions. In addition, gains will be boosted by the development of
improved cordless types, which will prompt replacement demand among both
professional and DIY users. Gains in the consumer market will also result from the
development of multifunctional drills with varied attachments (e.g., all-purpose
driving tools for use with drill and screwdriver bits, and square drive sockets).
Consumers in developed nations, especially casual DIYers, seek multipurpose tools
as a way of minimizing their tool costs. However, these factors will be offset
somewhat by the slowing macroeconomic outlook in the vast US market, which
will limit advances in the industrial sector.
Electric drills are the most versatile and most commonly used power tool. In
addition to drilling holes, electric drills can be fitted with numerous accessories,

Supply & Demand
by Country/Region
The Market Sections analyze demand
trends and consider the threats and
opportunities in each country and
region.
Spain - Supply & Demand
WESTERN EUROPE
Spain comprised a $470 million market for power tools in 2000, largest among the
non-G7 nations of Western Europe. Moreover, growth in power tools demand
SAMPLE PAGE
exceeded the regional average from 1995 to 2000, despite minimal growth in
population size. These gains are the result of the improved capital investment
outlook in recent years, a turnaround from the declines experienced in the earlier
part of the decade.
Shipments of power tools from facilities located in Spain reached $305 million in
2000, which left the country with a trade deficit in these products. Net imports
comprised about 35 percent of domestic demand in 2000, with significant activity

Despite the mature nature of much tool technology, new product development is
important in most power tool segments, as moderating growth opportunities have
resulted in increased efforts among manufacturers to develop improved products to
sustain market share. Since the potential for truly innovative new tools is limited,
most research and development activity revolves around making general performance
improvements and enhancing the ergonomic qualities of tools.
SAMPLE PAGE
Unlike hand tools, which have existed for centuries, power tools offer significantly
more room for innovation. The design of more powerful, longer-lasting cordless
products allowed by advances in battery technology continues to be one of the
most significant areas of product development. Other trends in new products
include tools targeting specific applications and the development of quieter tools.
Due to the specialized requirements of certain tool users, producers often must
work closely with end users in new product development. Motor vehicle applications
are among the most commonly specialized, due to the use of complex
systems and smaller engine compartments by automotive OEMs. These factors
have led to the increasing need for specialized products, both in terms of function
and size. To target these end users, tool producers must closely coordinate product
development with auto producers, mechanics and technicians.
Ergonomics is another key research and development issue for power tool
producers. The introduction of tools that are more comfortable and cause less
fatigue stimulates replacement purchases, especially among professionals and other
frequent tool users. For power tools, ergonomics are improved by reducing the
weight of the tool and making the grip more comfortable.
Basic power tool manufacturing requirements do not in themselves present a major
barrier to entry in the tools industry, as most of the production processes entail
