Chainsaws Market Report 2025

The chainsaws market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.7 billion in 2024 to $5.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rural and urban landscaping, raw material costs, homeowner and DIY market, industrial and commercial use, user preferences.

The chainsaws market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to supply chain dynamics, emerging user segments, economic trends, market expansion, regulatory compliance. Major trends in the forecast period include environmental regulations, user safety and ergonomics, battery-powered chainsaws, market competition, demand from professional users.

The rising rates of deforestation are anticipated to boost the growth of the chainsaw market in the future. Deforestation is the process of removing trees and forests from a specific region. This practice is carried out to clear land for agricultural or urban purposes, to harvest timber and other forest resources, or to make room for mining activities. Chainsaws are widely utilized in deforestation efforts, facilitating the clearing of forests for agriculture, logging, and mining, enabling loggers to efficiently fell trees quickly, thus increasing their productivity. For example, a report from the World Bank in May 2024 highlighted that, in 2022, the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario estimated 9,619 km² of deforestation, while PRODES data revealed an actual loss of 12,695 km² - 32% more than projected. If the current High-Resolution Land cover (HRL) rate of deforestation continues, a 35% increase in deforestation is expected by 2025 compared to the BAU baseline. Consequently, the escalation of deforestation is propelling the chainsaw market's growth moving forward.

The chainsaw market is expected to witness growth driven by increased construction spending. Construction spending, representing the total investment in structures and infrastructure within a specific timeframe and geographic area, plays a pivotal role in driving demand for chainsaws. Chainsaws offer a cost-effective and versatile solution for cutting and shaping materials in various construction applications. In October 2023, the United States Census Bureau reported a substantial increase in total construction spending, reaching an estimated seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.02 trillion, marking a 0.6% growth compared to the revised September estimate. This growth is indicative of heightened demand for chainsaws in infrastructure development, residential construction, and manufacturing facilities. Thus, increased construction spending is set to propel the growth of the chainsaw market.

The growth of the agriculture sector is anticipated to boost the chainsaw market in the coming years. This expansion is fueled by rising global food demand, innovations in agricultural technology, and an increasing emphasis on sustainable farming methods. Chainsaws are commonly utilized by farmers and agricultural workers for tasks such as tree pruning, firewood cutting, and general maintenance on farms, thereby enhancing demand within the agricultural industry. For example, a report from the Department for Environmental Food and Rural Affairs in September 2024 indicated that agriculture contributed £13.7 billion ($17.4 billion) to the UK economy in 2023, which accounted for 0.56% of the total economic output. The sector employed 462,100 people, making up 1.4% of the UK workforce. In 2023, the UK's total Gross Value Added (GVA) was £2.43 trillion ($3.09 trillion), with agriculture contributing 0.56% or £13.7 billion ($17.4 billion). As a result, the growth of the agriculture sector is significantly influencing the expansion of the chainsaw market.

The chainsaw market is witnessing a notable trend with the introduction of innovative models featuring advanced technology. Companies in the chainsaw market are incorporating cutting-edge features into new models to maintain their competitive positions. In May 2023, Husqvarna Group, an industrial equipment company based in Sweden, launched the T540 XP Mark III, a professional-grade chainsaw catering to tree care professionals and arborists. This model is equipped with Auto-Tune 3 technology, providing simple start capabilities and ensuring optimal performance even in challenging conditions. The innovative features, including the X-Torq engine design and LowVib technology, enhance power output and reduce handling vibration, contributing to a more efficient user experience in forestry and related industries.

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.

A chainsaw is a portable mechanical cutting tool powered by gasoline, electricity, or a battery. It comprises a small two-stroke engine or electric motor, a chain equipped with cutting teeth, and a guide bar that provides stability during wood or material cutting. Chainsaws find widespread use in activities such as tree felling, limb removal, pruning, firewood cutting, carving, and various applications.

Chainsaw products are categorized into gas-powered, electric-corded, and cordless types. Gas-powered chainsaws run on gasoline or petroleum-based fuels, making them suitable for outdoor tasks such as tree cutting and forestry work. These chainsaws come in different bar length sizes, including below 16 inches, 16-18 inches, and above 18 inches. They are available through both online and offline channels, serving commercial and residential purposes such as tree felling, bucking, pruning, wood carving, ice sculpture, construction, and more.
