The US hand tools market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The hand tools market in the US is growing on the basis of the growth recorded in the industrial and residential sectors. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers dominated the manufacturing sector and accounted for over 3% of the US GDP. Detroit is home to several industries and car manufacturing companies like Ford and is referred to as the ‘Motor City’. Thus, car production and maintenance operations are dependent on portable automotive hand tools, which are gaining momentum for their usefulness and effectiveness.

Going forward, vendors in the country are expected to find opportunities through value-added growth in the well-established markets.

Although the sales of EVs have been fluctuating over the past five years, the year 2019 witnessed sales of over 2.4 million electric vehicles, and the growth scenario is expected to remain consistent due to enhancements from manufacturers like Tesla and Toyota. With the growth in demand for EVs, precision hand tools that are used for advanced assembling activities will gain demand, leading to the overall growth of the hand tools market in the country.

However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant decline in the sales of automobile in the country. Post COVID, automotive industry in the US continued to remain fragile. Vehicle sales in August (2020) declined close to 20% (YoY), reaching 1.33 million units, despite an extended weekend due to Labor Day falling on a Monday. Total January-August 2020 sales reached around 8.8 million units, down 23%.
