Angle Grinder Global Market Report 2024

The angle grinder market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.14 billion in 2023 to $3.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be ascribed to an increase in construction and renovation endeavors, a heightened prevalence of do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, the emergence of e-commerce platforms, a scarcity of skilled labor across various industries, and the flourishing growth of the metal fabrication sector.

The angle grinder market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.82 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to a rising need for construction and renovation, swift urbanization and industrialization, market expansion with global diversity, a surge in the popularity of do-it-yourself (DIY) projects, and a heightened focus on sustainable activities. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the incorporation of IoT and AI technologies, progress in material processing, a growing preference for brushless motors in angle grinders, an increased emphasis on safety features, and the advancement of cordless angle grinders.

The anticipated surge in the angle grinder market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for construction activities. Construction activities encompass a broad spectrum of operations involved in the creation, modification, or repair of structures, infrastructure, and facilities. Angle grinders equipped with metal-cutting discs are frequently utilized in construction projects for cutting metal components such as pipes, rebar, steel plates, or structural parts, providing a fast and efficient method for precise cuts. For example, as per reports from the United States Census Bureau (USCB) in July 2023, the expenditure on construction in February 2023 amounted to $1.84 billion. In the initial two months of that year, construction investment increased by $260.8 billion, marking a 5.9% (1.2%) gain over the $246.1 billion spent during the same period in 2022. Public construction made an investment of $388.0 billion, while private construction invested $1.45 billion in 2022. Consequently, the escalating demand for construction is propelling the growth of the angle grinder market.

The burgeoning demand in the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the angle grinder market. The automotive industry encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of vehicles. Angle grinders play a crucial role in various processes within the automotive industry, including metal fabrication, bodywork, repair, maintenance, and customization, handling a diverse range of materials. Notably, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported that the global production of motor vehicles in 2022 reached 85.4 million units, showing a significant 5.7% increase compared to 2021. Additionally, according to Brand Finance plc in February 2022, the automobile sector achieved approximately 78 million unit sales, indicating a substantial 10% increase. Hence, the growing demand in the automotive industry is fueling the expansion of the angle grinder market.


The angle grinder market is witnessing a significant trend towards innovative products, with major companies actively engaged in the development of such solutions to maintain their market standing. A case in point is ATI Industrial Automation, a US-based manufacturer of automated tools, which introduced the CGV-900 compliant angle grinder in June 2023. This grinder serves as a machine-based alternative to manual grinding and finishing, enhancing adaptability in the grinding process while addressing safety concerns for employees. The CGV-900 incorporates built-in compliance, allowing the device to accommodate surface flaws in parts and maintain contact with the workpiece. Users have the flexibility to adjust compliance force in real-time to suit their finishing procedures.

Prominent companies in the angle grinder market are strategically focusing on introducing next-generation solutions, such as the quick-change system, to gain a competitive advantage. The quick-change system facilitates the swift and efficient exchange of components, tools, or parts within a larger system. For example, in February 2021, Makita U.S.A., Inc., a US-based power tool manufacturer, launched X-LOCK angle grinders. These grinders enable five times faster accessory changes compared to traditional systems, offering convenience and efficiency for users. Compatible with a variety of premium accessories, including diamond blades, grinding wheels, cut-off wheels, flap discs, and wire brushes, specifically designed for use with X-LOCK angle grinders, these products are available in both cordless and corded models, providing versatility and performance across a broad spectrum of grinding and cutting applications.

In March 2022, Bouygues Construction SA, a France-based construction company that supplies angle grinders, entered into a partnership with C. And E. Fein GmbH. This collaboration aims to develop a high-safety angle grinder for construction sites, elevating safety standards with a cordless design and featuring a power drive motor that is 30% more efficient than a 1,100-watt corded machine. C. And E. Fein GmbH, a Germany-based machine industry company, specializes in providing angle grinders.
