Portable Grinders Market Report 2025

The portable grinders market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.03 billion in 2024 to $5.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period was driven by factors such as the increasing demand for power tools in manufacturing, a rising preference for lightweight materials, growth in steel and metal production, government investments in infrastructure, and the growing demand for water-cooled grinders.

The portable grinders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be fueled by rising construction activities, expansion in metal fabrication, growth in shipbuilding, the increasing popularity of DIY projects, and the surge in industrial automation. Key trends anticipated during this period include advancements in battery technology, the development of high-performance abrasives, the introduction of advanced cooling systems, the integration of IoT in power tools, and improvements in dust collection technology.

The growth of construction activities is expected to drive the portable grinders market in the coming years. Construction involves planning, designing, and executing projects in building, infrastructure, and civil engineering. The sector is expanding due to increased infrastructure development and a rising demand for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Portable grinders play a crucial role in construction by cutting, grinding, and polishing materials to achieve smooth surfaces and precise finishes. For example, according to the Office for National Statistics in the UK, in 2022, the value of new construction work in Great Britain increased by 15.8%, reaching a record $172.78 billion (£132,989 million). This growth was driven by a $17.8 billion (£14,093 million) increase in the private sector and a $5.14 billion (£4,068 million) rise in the public sector. New construction orders also grew by 11.4% to $104.32 billion (£80,837 million). As such, the surge in construction activities is propelling the demand for portable grinders.

Companies in the portable grinders market are focusing on technological advancements such as double air inlet cooling systems to improve efficiency, extend tool lifespan, and boost performance during heavy usage. This system works by drawing air through two separate inlets, enhancing airflow, improving heat dissipation, and preventing overheating in high-performance tools. For instance, in January 2023, Robert Bosch GmbH, a German engineering company, launched the GWS 800 professional angle grinder in India. It features an 800W motor, an ergonomic design, and a double-air inlet cooling system, ensuring better grinding and cutting performance. The GWS 800 Professional is manufactured in Bosch’s Chennai plant, increasing its localization share in India to 55%. The product is competitively priced and aimed at fabricators, electricians, plumbers, masons, and carpenters.
