Further, the European aerospace sector is one of the highly developed industries that manufacture high-class jets, helicopters, aero engines, civil aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles, which use precision hand tools. Similar growth trends can be also seen in the consumer electronics industry in Europe, which is expected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period, which can further drive the growth for fastening tools. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted nearly all the major end-user industries in Europe, resulting in decreased demand for hand tools. Under the lockdown norms, the commercial and industrial activities came to a halt, which had a negative impact on the sales of hand tools in Europe. 

The European hand tools market is segmented based on tool type and end-user. Based on tool type, the hand tools market is segmented into general purpose tools (hammers, clamps and vises, pliers, ratchets and sockets, riveters, screwdrivers and nut drivers, wrecking bars, and wrenches), cutting tools (chisel and files, cable and wire cutting tools, knives and blades, and saws), layout and measuring tools (plumb bob and try square), and taps and dies. On the basis of end-user, the market is classified into commercial, industrial, and residential. 

Country-wise, the market is segmented into the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe. UK is leading the market in Europe with extensive resources and investment in construction activities in the past decade. In terms of growth rate, Spain is leading the hand tools market and expected to stay at the top by the end of the forecast period (2027). In countries such as the UK and Germany, online sales channels such as Amazon accounted for a large proportion of the overall sales of hand tools. The products are mainly purchased based on consumer reviews and ratings. However, in France, buyers generally prefer DIY stores such as Leroy Merlin, which is one of the most trusted retailers for hand tools and accessories.

Some of the major vendors in Europe include PB Swiss Tools AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, The Würth Group, and Wera Werkzeuge GmbH, where their online presence is a major influencer for their dominance in the highly competitive market.
