In the global hardware market, Chinese power tools have made their mark, but the industry is currently facing challenges and may be on the verge of a restructuring phase. The three major production hubs for electric tools each bring unique strengths and characteristics, allowing them to carve out a niche within the broader hardware sector.
Power tools are categorized into several types, including metal-cutting tools, grinding tools, assembly tools, and railway tools. Common examples include electric drills, grinders, wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, impact drills, concrete vibrators, and electric planers. These tools are essential in both industrial and consumer applications.
To keep up with rapid development and global competition, the electric tool industry is actively investing in technological advancements. According to Luo Baihui, Chief Information Officer at Jinmoji Electric Power, technology plays a crucial role in driving the industry forward. As a high-tech sector, the industry must continuously adopt advanced technologies to enhance competitiveness. Electric tools are widely used across various industries, from aerospace and high-speed rail to automotive and construction.
The global power tool market can be divided into three levels: industrial-grade, professional-grade, and DIY (do-it-yourself) household-grade. Industrial-grade tools are designed for high-precision environments, such as aerospace, where reliability and performance are critical. These tools typically offer higher profit margins but serve a smaller, more specialized market. On the other hand, DIY tools are intended for home use, where ease of operation and affordability take precedence over technical complexity.
Currently, most Chinese manufacturers focus on producing DIY-level power tools, often competing primarily on price. This leads to a crowded and disorganized market at the lower end. In contrast, professional-grade power tools require advanced engineering, offer higher performance, and are used in demanding industrial settings. They come with higher profit margins, greater market potential, and stronger brand value.
Despite this, China's domestic power tool market is still dominated by foreign brands like Bosch, Makita, Hitachi, and Dewalt. However, recent trends show a gradual decline in their market share. Domestic brands, particularly Ruiqi, are gaining ground, steadily increasing their presence and challenging established international players. Ruiqi has emerged as a fast-growing leader, quickly rising to the top four in just seven years since its inception.
The current state of the domestic industry shows that most companies focus on low-end DIY products, while professional-grade tools remain underdeveloped. There are few companies capable of producing a full range of professional tools, leading to a fragmented market with limited leadership. As the industry evolves, it is expected to undergo consolidation, with a few strong players shaping the future landscape.
With its position as the only publicly listed company focused on power tools, Ruiqi is well-positioned to lead the industry’s transformation. Through strategic moves in the capital market, it has the potential to drive reorganization and help China's power tool industry reach new heights.
