Handheld Electric Concrete Saw Market Report 2025

The handheld electric concrete saw market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2024 to $1.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to urbanization and infrastructure expansion, heightened construction activities in both residential and commercial sectors, increased renovation and remodeling projects, government funding for road and highway development, and rising labor costs driving mechanization.

The handheld electric concrete saw market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The projected growth is expected to result from green building initiatives, ongoing global infrastructure renewal efforts, expansion of prefabricated construction, increased construction in emerging markets, the rise of e-commerce distribution for power tools, and a post-pandemic surge in home renovations. Key trends forecasted include the adoption of brushless motors for enhanced efficiency and durability, advancements in battery technology (such as solid-state, fast-charging, and higher capacity batteries), smart sensors for monitoring blade wear and preventing overload, ergonomic enhancements to reduce vibration and fatigue, and AI- and ML-driven predictive maintenance alerts.

The increasing construction activities are expected to drive the growth of the handheld electric concrete saw market in the coming years. Construction activities encompass the processes involved in building, modifying, repairing, or demolishing structures such as buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. These activities are rising due to rapid urbanization, which is fueling the demand for new infrastructure and housing. Handheld electric concrete saws are utilized in construction to accurately cut concrete, bricks, and masonry for structural changes and installations. For example, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, the number of dwellings under construction rose to 43,247 in the September 2024 quarter, up from 37,116 in the same quarter of 2023. Hence, the growth in construction activities is contributing to the expansion of the handheld electric concrete saw market.

Leading companies in the handheld electric concrete saw market are emphasizing innovative solutions such as cordless circular saws to improve cutting efficiency, enhance user mobility, and cater to the increasing demand for high-performance, battery-operated tools in construction. A cordless circular saw is a battery-powered cutting device designed for precision and portability across various materials. For instance, in May 2025, Makita U.S.A. Inc., a U.S.-based construction firm, introduced the world’s largest cordless circular saw, the 40V max XGT 16-5/16" Circular Saw (GSH06), aimed at professional contractors requiring high-capacity cutting. This saw offers up to 30% faster cutting speeds compared to corded models and runs on fast-charging 40V max batteries compatible with over 170 XGT tools. It delivers a cutting depth of 6-1/4" at 90° and 4-3/16" at 45°, featuring a blade stabilizer, electric brake, soft start, and a lightweight ergonomic design, combining power and convenience for demanding construction tasks.

In April 2022, Husqvarna Group, a Sweden-based construction company, acquired Heger for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enhances Husqvarna's presence and product portfolio in the DACH region, supporting its ambition to lead in diamond tools and construction machinery. Heger is a Germany-based company, specializes in manufacturing diamond tools for sawing and drilling.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

A handheld electric concrete saw is a portable, motor-powered cutting tool featuring a rotating abrasive blade or diamond-tipped disc designed to precisely cut through dense materials such as concrete, masonry, and stone with minimal vibration. It is commonly used in construction, demolition, and renovation projects for tasks such as cutting expansion joints, making openings for doors or windows, and trimming concrete slabs or blocks.

The main categories of handheld electric concrete saws include wet saws, dry saws, floor saws, and wall saws. Wet saws use a water-cooled diamond blade to effectively cut through hard materials such as tile, stone, and concrete. These saws come with various blade types, including diamond blades, tungsten carbide blades, multi-purpose blades, and specialized cutting blades. They are distributed via both online and offline retail channels and find widespread use across applications such as residential, commercial, industrial, infrastructure development, and repair and renovation. Key industries employing handheld electric concrete saws include construction, manufacturing, mining, and utility and maintenance services.
