Global Portable Grinders Industry Outlook


Product Definition:


A portable grinder is a hand-held tool that performs the same tasks as an electric grinder. It is powered by a battery or AC adapter and has a grinding wheel on one end and a handle on the other.


Pneumatic Portable Grinders:


Pneumatic portable grinders are used for small and light duty applications. The pneumatic portable grinder uses compressed air as a power source to perform operations such as cutting, crushing, pulverizing or grinding. Pneumatic Portable Grinders can be used in numerous industries including mining, construction, food & beverage processing and automotive industry among others.


Electric Portable Grinders:


Electric portable grinders are small electric motors that are used to pulverize and crush solid material into extremely fine particles for a faster rate of processing. The electric portable grinder is usually powered by an electricity source, which may be direct current or alternating current. These types of equipment can typically handle materials such as seeds, spices, coffee beans, and nuts without any problems at all.


Application Insights:


The power generation segment dominated the global portable grinders market in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Portable electric generators are used for a wide range of applications, including emergency lighting, long-range communications, and operating machinery that requires high rotational speeds. The pneumatic portable grinders are widely used in the power generation industry as they provide consistent performance across various applications owing to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures without any damage or issue.


Portable hydraulic units offer increased versatility as they can be easily transported from one site to another along with wheels attached on its side which makes it easy for handling during installation or while moving from one location.


Regional Analysis:


Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 owing to increasing demand for portable grinders from end-use industries, such as power generation, chemical industry and metallurgy. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period on account of rising need for high-quality steel in various manufacturing processes across several economies including China and India. In addition, growing construction activities due to rapid urbanization are anticipated to drive product demand further.


The Asia Pacific portable grinders market is also driven by rapidly expanding mining sector across economies such as Australia and China which requires large volumes of metal processing equipment including electric motors along with other associated machinery at regular intervals.


Growth Factors:


  • Increasing demand for portable grinders from the construction and automotive industries as a result of the growing need for precision grinding.
  • The increasing popularity of handheld power tools among DIY enthusiasts and homeowners due to their ease of use and portability.
  • Growing demand for portable grinders from small-scale businesses that require precision grinding solutions for limited production runs.
  • Rising awareness about the benefits of using portable grinders among consumers, which is likely to boost demand in the coming years.
  • Technological advancements in portable grinder design and functionality that offer better performance, increased efficiency, and longer tool life
