Chainsaws Market Report 2026

The chainsaws market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.1 billion in 2025 to $5.62 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of forestry and logging activities, growth in residential landscaping demand, rising use of chainsaws in construction applications, availability of affordable gas-powered chainsaws, increasing adoption by professional users.

The chainsaws market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing shift toward cordless outdoor power equipment, rising investments in sustainable forestry practices, expansion of urban landscaping services, growing demand for low-noise tools, increasing integration of advanced battery technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of battery-powered chainsaws, rising demand for lightweight and ergonomic designs, growing focus on low-emission gas chainsaws, expansion of smart safety and control features, enhanced durability of cutting components.

Increased deforestation is expected to propel the growth of the chainsaw market going forward. Deforestation refers to the removal of trees and forests from a specific area. It is carried out to clear land for agricultural or urban development, to obtain wood and other forest resources, or to create space for mining. Chainsaws play a key role in deforestation activities, as they are used for clearing forests for agriculture, mining, and logging, allowing workers to fell trees quickly and efficiently. For instance, in May 2024, according to a report by the World Bank, a US-based organization, the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario projected 9,619 km² of deforestation in 2022, while PRODES data showed an actual loss of 12,695 km², which is 32% higher than expected. If deforestation continues at the current High-Resolution Land cover (HRL) rate, a 35% rise in deforestation is anticipated by 2025 compared to the BAU baseline. Therefore, increasing deforestation is driving the growth of the chainsaw market.

Increased construction spending is expected to propel the growth of the chainsaw market going forward. Construction spending refers to the total financial investment in the development, expansion, or maintenance of structures and infrastructure within a specific period and region. Chainsaws provide a cost-effective method for cutting and shaping materials compared to more specialized cutting tools, and their versatility makes them valuable across multiple construction applications. For example, in December 2023, according to the United States Census Bureau (USCB), the US-based federal government’s largest statistical agency, total construction spending in October 2023 reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.02 trillion, which is 0.6% higher than the revised September estimate of $2.01 trillion. This growth highlights increased demand for infrastructure development, residential construction, and manufacturing facilities, all contributing to rising demand for chainsaws. Therefore, increased construction spending is driving the growth of the chainsaw market.

Major companies in the chainsaw market are strategically focusing on product innovations, particularly in the realm of new gas chainsaws, to gain a competitive edge. Modern gas chainsaws are characterized by enhanced efficiency and user-friendly features, offering improved performance in cutting and felling trees. In May 2023, ECHO Incorporated, a US-based outdoor power equipment manufacturer, introduced four new gas chainsaws to their lineup. Notable features include the stratified 2-stroke engine in the ECHO CS-4920, delivering lower emissions and powerful performance. The ECHO CS-4010, designed for homeowners, emphasizes reduced starting effort, lighter weight, and increased power, aligning with evolving consumer demands in the chainsaw market. Echo's commitment to innovation is evident in these advancements, ensuring their tools meet and exceed the dynamic needs of users.
