The rise in construction activities is notably driving the pipe and tubing tools market growth. Construction activities are gaining pace in both developed and developing countries across the world. For example, in India, government initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission, Make in India, and Housing for All programs are triggering construction activities in the country. Under the Smart Cities Mission, many cities are planned to be completed by 2022. These cities include capitals and major cities of states.
In developed regions such as the US and Europe, construction activities are gaining momentum, especially in the residential sector. Construction outlook in about 19 major countries of Europe shows bright prospects, with the Irish construction market likely to exhibit major growth in upcoming years. Similarly, in the US, the residential sector is expected to grow at a steady rate over the forecast period. As a result of these factors, the demand for tools used in the manufacturing and forming of pipes and tubing is increasing. Thus, the rise in construction activities will drive the growth of the global pipe and tubing tools market during the forecast period.
The increasing online sales of pipe and tubing tools is the primary trend driving the market. The rapid penetration of the internet and increasing consumer preference for online shopping are encouraging market vendors to expand their presence online. Vendors are entering the e-commerce space through attractive websites and a wide range of products that cater to customer needs. With the rise in e-retailing, some vendors are focusing on making their business omnipresent worldwide. This ensures that their products are available to diverse customers across regions, even without being physically present in the country.
Companies such as Amazon, Tolexo, Home Depot, and Snap-On are allowing customers to choose hand tools from a variety of products online and buy according to their needs. The online availability of pipe and tubing tools is not only making it convenient for customers but also save their time by providing quick delivery options. This trend will foster the growth of the global pipe and tubing tools market during the forecast period.
Sluggish steel demand and a decline in steel capacity utilization are the major challenges impeding market growth. The steel industry has been witnessing sluggish growth over recent years. This can be attributed to the poor global economic environment, which has resulted in low consumption of steel across various sectors. Although some developed countries are recovering and witnessing positive growth, the market in China, the largest steel producer in the world, is experiencing slow growth because the country is moving to a consumption-based economy from an investment-led economy.
In addition, the excessive production capacity of steel manufacturers has resulted in reduced profit margins. Steel manufacturers are investing in capacity expansion at a rapid pace because of the availability of relatively attractive interest rates for new investments, low production costs, and an open international market. The Chinese government is now making efforts to restructure the steel industry by increasing its efficiency and shutting down some of the excess capacity. However, these efforts have been ineffective and are becoming hurdles to the growth of steel manufacturers. All these factors are negatively impacting the global pipe and tubing tools market growth during the forecast period.
