India power tools market is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.90% during the forecast period FY2025-FY2032, growing from USD 2.03 billion in FY2024 to USD 3.46 billion in FY2032. The emerging Asian economy with rapid industrial growth, expanding automotive operations, and modern manufacturing are expected to shape the regional market. The innovative power tools with the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning are anticipated to add value to the Indian hand and power tools industry. Furthermore, the higher penetration of e-commerce platforms, global power tool giants entering market, and localized technology are anticipated to garner market growth.

Due to its portability, easy to handle, and convenient designs, cordless power tools are gaining traction. Enhanced battery technology with longer performance, demand for power tools especially in the construction sector is driven by significant infrastructure investments being made by the Indian government. It is expected that India will be among the top construction markets around the world leading to the use of various types of power tools. The DIY trend has been hastened by corona virus pandemic, attracting many consumers to take part in home improvements, hence increasing demand for these tools from individual households increasing market growth rate. The integration of power tools with internet of things (IoT) is delivering more precise and data driven results. For instance, in August 2024, Hilti India Pvt. Ltd. launched Data Driven Services (DDS) platform that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance tool management. The DDS platform offers a virtual customer service center that monitors the battery health of real-time and cordless tools.

Evolution of Power Tool Battery Technology to Fuel Market Growth

India power tools market is experiencing a change according to the likes and dislikes of customers and price fluctuation during purchase. The market is currently being dominated by lithium-ion batteries owing to their heightened performance, but these are being led out by Nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) and Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) which are more cost-effective and environmentally conscious. The popularity of lithium-ion batteries has been attributed to their high energy density, light weight, and low self-discharge rates. Consequently, it translates into longer operational lives and less maintenance than Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries, which make them popular among most manufacturers and users alike. However, there is a shift in demand towards Ni-MH and Ni-CD batteries especially for certain applications such as drilling, sanding, and cutting. For instance, some applications are characterized by units based on Ni-MH as they have proven themselves with excellent longevity and provide reasonable prices for their performance, they are suitable for certain types of power tools particularly in those areas that are defined with low-income consumers.

For instance, in November 2023, Robert Bosch GmbH launched a new ProCare18V+ cordless power tool battery, engineered with tables 21700 Li-ion cells. These cells are deal for all drilling and screw driving applications where a lower weight comes in handy. The batteries are much lighter and up to 39% more compact than comparable batteries of its class.

Major Automotive Applications and EV Adoption to Fuel Market Growth

The automotive manufacturing sector is a primary driver of power tool demand. Tools such as electric drills, impact wrenches, and screwdrivers are essential for assembly lines, where precision and speed are crucial. The increasing production of passenger vehicles, especially due to the rising middle class and demand for personal transportation, is propelling the need for efficient power tools in manufacturing processes. With the rise of electric vehicles in India, there is a growing need for specialized power tools to assemble EV components, such as battery packs and electric drivetrains. The shift towards EVs is expected to further boost the power tools market as manufacturers adapt to new technologies and production methods. There is a noticeable shift towards cordless power tools in the automotive sector due to their portability and ease of use, making them ideal for both manufacturing and repair applications. The automotive and EV manufacturing hubs are adopting new cutting and shredding technology.

For instance, in June 2023, Hyundai Corporation Holdings Co. Ltd., Korea and Sparc Electrex Limited are in negotiations to enter into an exclusive license agreement that will allow the company to use the HYUNDAI trademark for the development, production, and sale of power tools and accessories in India.
