The import of hand-held tools with an electric motor, excluding drills or saws, to the UK is projected to gradually increase from 26.328 million kilograms in 2024 to 26.875 million kilograms in 2028. The actual figure for 2023 was not provided, but the forecasts suggest a modest annual growth rate, with year-on-year increases of approximately 0.5% to 0.6% each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years highlights a steady escalation in import volume.

Future trends to watch:

Technological advancements that may lead to more efficient, lightweight, or multifunctional hand-held tools.
Potential changes in UK import regulations and trade agreements post-Brexit that might impact the demand or supply chain.
Shifts in consumer preferences and industry demand that could alter the balance between imported and locally manufactured tools.
