インパクト用ソケットの世界市場規模は、2024年に11億2,020万米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、2033年には15億9,660万米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけて3.82%の成長率(CAGR)を示すと予測しています。工業化の進展と、合弁事業を通じて競争優位を得ようとする主要企業による合併・買収(M&A)活動が、主に市場成長の原動力となっています。
自動車産業の拡大
インパクト用ソケットは、様々な自動車用途、特にタイヤ交換、エンジン修理、サスペンション作業など、高トルク・重作業を必要とする作業で使用される特殊工具です。これに伴い、自動車産業が世界的に拡大し続けているため、自動車の製造、メンテナンス、修理における工具や機器のニーズも増加しています。例えば、India Brand Equity Foundationによると、2023年11月の総乗用車販売台数は33万4,130台に達し、2022年11月と比較して3.7%の差で最高の販売台数を占めました。インドからの自動車輸出も2023年度には476万487台に達しました。このほか、インパクト用ソケットはアフターマーケットの整備工場やガレージで欠かせない工具であり、これも重要な成長要因となっています。例えば、インドの自動車 Mission Plan FAME-IIは、国の拡大する自動車および部品製造部門に政府の支援を提供することを強調しています。これらの要因は、今後数年間の市場成長をさらに促進すると予想されます。
電動化需要の急増
自動車を含む産業における電化需要の高まりが、インパクト用ソケット市場の成長に寄与しています。インパクト用ソケットは伝統的に内燃エンジン車と関連してきたが、電気自動車(EV)やその他の電動機械の台頭により、インパクト用ソケットメーカーに新たな機会が生まれています。例えば、IEAによると、2023年第1四半期には230万台以上の電気自動車が販売され、これは前年同期より25%多いです。EVは従来の自動車に比べて可動部品が少ないとはいえ、サスペンション部品、バッテリーシステム、ドライブトレイン部品などの作業を含む定期的なメンテナンスが必要であり、これらはすべて組み立てや分解にインパクト用ソケットを必要とします。このほか、風力タービンやソーラーパネルの開発もインパクト用ソケットの需要に貢献しています。例えば、国際エネルギー機関(IEA)によると、風力発電は2022年に2,100TWh以上に達します。しかし、2050年までのネットゼロエミッションのシナリオ(2030年に7,400TWh以上の風力発電が必要とされる)に追いつくためには、年平均発電成長率をほぼ17%まで高める必要があります。その結果、再生可能エネルギー技術に対するニーズの高まりが、今後数年間のインパクト用ソケットの採用を促進すると思われます。
持続可能性への関心の高まり
持続可能性は、企業にとっても消費者にとっても同様に重要な考慮事項となっており、環境に優しく持続可能な製品の需要が高まっています。インパクト用ソケットの文脈では、持続可能性には、製造に使用される材料、製品の耐久性と寿命、製造による環境への全体的な影響など、さまざまな側面が含まれます。さらに、インパクト用ソケットメーカーは、二酸化炭素排出量を削減するため、エネルギー効率の高い製造プロセスにも注目しています。エネルギー効率の高い機器の使用や、エネルギー消費を最小限に抑えるための生産工程の最適化などです。例えば、スイッチとソケットのメーカーであるFutina社は、製品ラインの省エネ機能の開発に力を入れています。自動シャットオフスイッチ、人感センサー、調光機能など、さまざまな技術を取り入れています。これらの技術は、エネルギー消費を最適化することで、電力使用量とカーボンフットプリントを削減することを目的としています。
The global impact socket market size reached USD 1,120.2 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,596.6 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.82% during 2025-2033. The inflating levels of industrialization, coupled with the merger and acquisition (M&A) activities by key players seeking to gain a competitive advantage through joint ventures, are primarily driving the market growth.
Expansion of the Automotive Industry
Impact sockets are specialized tools used in various automotive applications, particularly in tasks requiring high torque and heavy-duty operations, such as tire changes, engine repairs, and suspension work. In line with this, as the automotive industry continues to expand globally, there's a corresponding increase in the need for tools and equipment in vehicle manufacturing, maintenance, and repair. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the sale of total passenger vehicles in November 2023 reached 3,34,130, accounting for the highest sale with a margin of 3.7% as compared to November 2022. The automobile exports from India also reached 47,60,487 in FY2023. Besides this, impact sockets are indispensable tools in aftermarket workshops and garages, thereby acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For instance, India's automobile Mission Plan FAME-II emphasizes on offering government support to the nation's expanding automobile and component manufacturing sectors. These factors are further expected to proliferate the market growth in the coming years.
Surging Demand for Electrification
The growing demand for electrification in industries, including automotive, is contributing to the growth of the impact sockets market. While impact sockets have traditionally been associated with internal combustion engine vehicles, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and other electric-powered machinery has created new opportunities for impact socket manufacturers. For instance, according to the IEA, more than 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, which is 25% more than in the same period last year. While EVs have fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, they still require regular maintenance, including work on suspension components, battery systems, drivetrain components, etc., all of which require impact sockets for assembly and disassembly. Besides this, the development of wind turbines and solar panels also contributes to the demand for impact sockets. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), wind power generation reached over 2,100 TWh in 2022. However, the average annual generation growth rate needs to increase to almost 17% to keep up with the Net Zero Emissions Scenario by 2050, which calls for the generation of over 7,400 TWh of wind electricity in 2030. Consequently, the inflating need for renewable energy technologies will drive the adoption of impact sockets in the coming years.
Growing Focus on Sustainability
Sustainability has become a key consideration for businesses and consumers alike, leading to the growing demand for product variants that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. In the context of impact sockets, sustainability can encompass various aspects, including the materials used in manufacturing, the durability and longevity of the product, and the overall environmental impact of production. Moreover, impact socket manufacturers are also focusing on energy-efficient manufacturing processes to reduce their carbon footprints. They include using energy-efficient equipment and optimizing production processes to minimize energy consumption. For instance, Futina, a manufacturer of switches and sockets, focuses on the development of energy saving features in their product line. It incorporates various technologies, including automatic shut-off switches, motion sensors, and dimming capabilities. These technologies aim to optimize energy consumption, thereby reducing electricity usage and carbon footprints.
Hex sockets, also known as hexagonal sockets or allen sockets, are designed to fit hexagonal (six-sided) fasteners, such as hex bolts and screws. On the other hand, in-hex sockets, also called internal hex sockets or allen key sockets, are produced to fit internal hexagonal (hex) fasteners. Both sockets are essential components for hexagonal fasteners, but they differ in their design and intended applications.
1/2-inch impact sockets are commonly used for heavy-duty applications that require higher torque, such as in the construction industry and industrial maintenance. Additionally, 3/8 inch impact sockets are versatile. Consequently, they are adopted for a wide range of purposes, including automotive repair, machinery maintenance, DIY projects, etc. Moreover, 1/4 inch impact sockets are smaller and more compact, thereby suitable for tasks that require precision and access to tight spaces.
Both online and offline channels play important roles in the distribution and sale of impact sockets, catering to the diverse preferences and needs of customers. Some individuals may prefer the convenience and extensive selection of online channels, while others may value the hands-on experience and personal interaction offered by offline channels. Ultimately, the availability of impact sockets through both channels ensures accessibility to a wide range of product variants, contributing to the market growth.
Impact sockets are versatile tools widely used in various sectors, including automotive, industrial, construction, etc. These tools are extensively adopted for installing lug nuts when changing tires, assembly lines for manufacturing machinery, repair, securing formwork hardware, etc.
