Do-it-yourself projects refer to cost-effective home renovations, such as painting walls or building furniture, that allow homeowners to personalize their spaces. Their rising popularity is primarily driven by cost savings, as individuals can complete tasks themselves without hiring professional services, reducing overall expenses. Plunge routers for woodworking support DIY projects by enabling precise cutting, shaping, and detailing of wood, allowing hobbyists to achieve professional-quality results at home. For example, in January 2025, Frontdoor, a US-based home-services company, reported from a survey of 1,003 US homeowners in November 2024 that 98% had completed at least one DIY project in their lifetime, 74% planned to start a DIY project in 2025, and 12% intended to flip a house. Therefore, the increasing popularity of DIY projects is fueling the growth of the plunge routers for woodworking market.

The expansion of furniture manufacturing projects is expected to propel the growth of the plunge routers for woodworking market going forward. Furniture manufacturing involves designing, producing, and assembling various types of furniture, such as tables, chairs, sofas, and cabinets, using materials like wood, metal, plastic, or textiles for residential, commercial, or industrial applications. The expansion of furniture manufacturing is primarily driven by rising disposable incomes, as higher earnings allow consumers to spend more on home furnishings, increasing demand for new and customized furniture products. Plunge routers for woodworking support precise cutting, shaping, and detailing of wood components, enabling efficient and high-quality furniture manufacturing processes. For instance, in August 2025, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), a Canada-based government industry statistics body, reported that manufacturing revenues in the furniture and related-products sector reached CA$16.1 billion (US$12.1 billion) in 2023, up from CA$15.8 billion (US$11.9 billion) in 2022, a 1.7% increase. Therefore, the expansion of furniture manufacturing is driving the growth of the plunge routers for woodworking market.

Major companies operating in the plunge routers for woodworking market are focusing on integrating cordless brushless-motor technology, such as battery-powered brushless motors, to enhance portability, efficiency, and job-site flexibility. Battery-powered brushless motors use electronically commutated systems to deliver high torque and consistent power from rechargeable batteries while reducing heat, wear, and maintenance compared to brushed motors. For example, in May 2024, DEWALT, a US-based manufacturer, launched the DEWALT 20V MAX XR 2-1/4 Peak HP Plunge Router, a cordless brushless plunge router designed for heavy-duty woodworking applications, including precision plunge routing and edge profiling. It features a 2-1/4 peak horsepower brushless motor, a variable-speed dial for control, and integrated dust collection with airlock compatibility. The 20V MAX XR plunge router improves woodworking productivity, operator mobility, and clean working conditions while delivering performance comparable to corded plunge routers.
