The tool manufacturing industry has been very volatile over the past five years. Its turnover has fallen by an average of 0.4% per year since 2020. In the current year, they are likely to fall by a further 0.3% compared to the previous year to €15.1 billion. This is partly due to the continuing decline in construction activity in Germany, which is keeping demand for industry products at a low level, and partly due to the competitive disadvantage on the US market caused by the newly introduced US tariffs. The 50% tariffs on steel and aluminium imports are also hitting the tool industry hard, especially as the USA is the industry's largest export market. In addition to the construction industry, the main customers for tools are primarily found in the manufacturing sector. For example, the steel, automotive and chemical industries are among the sector's largest sales markets. Economic changes and fluctuations in the prices of raw materials required for tool production are some of the key factors that influence the development of the industry.Although the industry is predominantly made up of small and medium-sized companies, it is characterised by a high degree of internationalisation thanks to a large number of foreign subsidiaries. Foreign trade is of great importance to the players. There is also intense competition in the industry. German manufacturers are exposed to strong competitive pressure, particularly from suppliers from Asian countries such as China. As labour costs there are significantly lower than in Germany, companies from these countries can offer the tools they manufacture at lower prices and flood the German market with products. Another current problem for industry players is that they have to contend with high import duties in their largest export market. Weakening demand at home is unlikely to compensate for sales losses on the US market.The barriers to market entry can be categorised as high due to strong competition, regulations and the high technical demands placed on the production of high-quality tools. However, rising demand in the manufacturing and construction sectors will provide growth impetus. Industry turnover is likely to increase at an average annual rate of 3% during this period, meaning that turnover is expected to reach €17.5 billion by 2030.
