3 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 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 * Excluded from the study are non-powered hand tools, as well as machine tools.

7 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 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 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 Copyright by The Freedonia Group, Inc. 6 Freedonia Industry Study

8 World Supply & Demand The World Supply and Demand Section highlights the key issues that have affected the global power tools market over the past ten years and summarizes contributing growth factors. This information helps you: Focus your sales and marketing efforts on high growth areas. Propose new areas for development SUPPLY & DEMAND Electric Power Tools - Drills Electric drill demand is forecast to rise 6.3 percent annually to $4.1 billion in SAMPLE PAGE 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, World Power Tools including Demand those by that sand, Region grind, & polish Market and drive screws and nuts; such accessories (million make electric U.S. dollars) drills essential all-purpose tools. Product trends include escalating voltages. This increase in voltages is due in part to rising end-user demand for Item more powerful 1990power 1995 tools, and 2000 the small price 2005difference 2010between voltages.

9 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 China - Power Tool on both Supply the import & and Demand export sides. The Spanish industry finds key export (million markets U.S. throughout dollars) the EU area. In addition, the US is a major external supplier to the Spanish market, along with its West European neighbors and Asian-based producers. Item Population (million) The market for power tools in Spain is projected to rise five percent per year $ power tools/capita t hrough million, a slight Power Tool Demand deceleration from the recent historical 980 performance 1750 and in line with the forecast By Type: average pace for the region as a whole.

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 Copyright by The Freedonia Group, Inc.
