Power Tools & Other General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

The pandemic significantly impacted the machinery manufacturing industry, leading to a temporary decline due to reduced demand from sectors like automotive, aerospace and construction. Measures like social distancing and labor shortages forced these industries to scale back operations, diminishing the need for new machinery. Additionally, global supply chain disruptions caused delays in raw material and component deliveries. The industry also faced elevated volatility due to fluctuating commodity prices, which, while increasing production costs, contributed to notable revenue growth between 2021 and 2022.

Trends and Insights

  • The pandemic reduced demand, although the impact varied. It had the biggest effect on demand for industrial process furnaces and ovens while affecting packaging machinery manufacturers much less severely.
  • Exports play a pivotal role in the industry, consistently representing its largest revenue source. Over one-third of the industry's revenue is attributed to international sales, highlighting the significant reliance on global markets.
  • Power tool manufacturers congregate close to other manufacturers. This cuts down on transportation costs and makes manufacturers more attractive to such downstream markets.
  • Internal competition varies from one product segment to another. Price points primarily form the basis for competition between similar goods.
