Indian Hand Tools Industry Dynamics
Given that the hand tool industry in India is predominantly unorganized, with 80% of the sector falling under this category, the overall industry growth rate remains in single digits. However, the organized sector is expected to gain a larger market share from the unorganized sector. This shift is expected to result in the organized sector outpacing the growth of the overall hand tool industry in India. Several factors support this argument:
Implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST): The introduction of GST has brought numerous unorganized businesses under the tax net, significantly reducing tax evasion. This has leveled the playing field, enabling organized players to compete more effectively.
Demonetization: The demonetization drive has disrupted cash-based transactions, which are prevalent in the unorganized sector and has encouraged the adoption of digital payments. This transition has facilitated greater transparency and formalization within the industry.
Shift Toward Quality Consciousness: The Indian market for hand tools is moving away from a price-sensitive approach and towards quality- consciousness, driven by industry or application-specific criteria. Both consumers and industries are increasingly prioritizing durability and precision over cost.
Expansion of Key Industries: The growth of sectors such as aviation, heavy engineering, automotive, gardening/horticulture, woodworking, and construction/infrastructure has spurred the demand for high-quality, specialty tools. This demand is predominantly met by the organized sector, further accelerating its growth.
These factors collectively are expected to contribute to the growth trajectory of the organized hand tools sector, which is expected to significantly outpace the overall industry growth rate in India. The structured and transparent operations of organized businesses, combined with an increasing focus on quality and specialized tools, positions the organized sector for substantial expansion and market dominance.
