Traditional industrial automation architectures have been primarily closed ecosystems, creating obstacles for multi-vendor integration. However, in recent years, new and open industrial automation system architectures and advanced technology applications have emerged. These developments aim to create efficient, responsive, and flexible manufacturing processes, thereby supporting the growth of sophisticated cordless power tools.
Since the first industrial revolution in the late 18th century, a few European countries and the US have dominated the manufacturing sector. These countries have traditionally possessed critical resources globally, enabling them to foster industrial development and drive innovation in production technologies, materials, and end-user solutions. However, a shift is occurring, with many of the world’s largest automotive, aircraft, and defense equipment manufacturers localizing their production in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and engaging in technology sharing. An estimated $1 trillion has been invested in the manufacturing sector in APAC between 2010 and 2020, with US companies contributing up to 30% of the total investment, thereby benefitting the growth of the cordless power tools market.
The demand for cordless power tools with long-lasting battery life has led to significant advancements in battery technology, resulting in improved performance and efficiency of Li-ion batteries. These batteries offer enhanced energy density, charging rates, cyclability, safety, and stability. Although replacing Li-ion batteries incurs additional costs of 10-49%, the preference for highly efficient Li-ion batteries is on the rise.
Raw materials account for the largest cost component in power tool production, comprising approximately 50-60% of the overall production cost. The prices of primary raw materials used in power tool manufacturing, such as steel, plastic, rubber, fasteners, and batteries, have been volatile in recent years. This volatility poses a significant threat to vendor margins. Additionally, operating expenses like labor wages are also witnessing sharp increases.

In 2021, the drilling and fastening power tools market registered a total of 81.8 million units and is expected to remain the largest segment. Among cordless power tools, drilling and fastening tools such as drills, impact wrenches, impact drivers, screwdrivers, and nut runners are the most commonly used. These tools are typically not used individually but rather in combination, with each industry utilizing the optimal combination for their specific needs. For example, the application of drills depends on the nature and type of work, while impact drills and wrenches deliver similar results but differ in terms of effectiveness and overall productivity. On the other hand, the demolition cordless power tools market is projected to witness a shipment of 102 million units in 2027.
The brushed motors market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% from 2022 to 2027. Brushed motors have a simple construction and design, requiring a smaller number of internal components, resulting in lower manufacturing costs. They are also considered more cost-effective and reliable compared to brushless motors. However, brushed motors are generally less powerful than their brushless counterparts when it comes to power output.
Among the different battery types, the 12 V battery segment holds the largest share in the global cordless power tools market. Numerous players, including Robert Bosch, produce lithium-ion batteries. One such example is the BAT414, a 12 V Max lithium-ion 2.0 Ah battery offered by Robert Bosch. This battery incorporates advanced technology to optimize battery life, power, and runtime. It is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it an ideal complement to Bosch’s line of 12 V compact tools.
