Portable tools sales are significantly impacted by macroeconomic factors, most notably, GDP, urbanization, economic growth, and industry value. According to OECD, world real GDP has shown a consistent surge since 2016, and the ascendancy is likely to be sustained in the long run. According to United Nations Department of Economics and Social Affairs, 68% of world’s population will live in urban areas by 2050, up from 55% currently. The direct co-relation between macroeconomic growth and portable tools sales is likely to augur well for the stakeholders in this market. The steadiness in automotive sales, especially in North America and Asia Pacific, and the long-term positive outlook on the automotive industry is likely to create opportunities for portable tool manufacturers. Growth in automotive sales directly impacts investments in repair and maintenance tools, especially among garage owners.
