Let’s get to it!

1.The Table Saw Market Will Exceed $800 Million by 2026

In 2019, the global market for table saws was $640 million. A year later, it grew to $730 million. And now it’s predicted to go over the $800 million mark by 2026. Despite the pandemic and the challenging economic situation, the world is slowly going back to growth. With COVID-19 restrictions being gradually lifted, it allows businesses to resume full-scale operations. Table saws are used for cutting wood, plastic tubes, and metal.

That makes them an essential instrument in construction and many other industries. So, by 2026, the market might get even bigger. Right now, it’s growing at a 1.5% rate.

2.Asia-Pacific Dominates the Sliding Table Saw Market

Did you know that Asia and the Pacific (APAC) is home to 4.3 billion people or 60% of the world’s population? That’s right, and currently, the sliding table saw market over there is the biggest one, with a CAGR of 4.3%. Rapid urbanization is driving the region’s economy, which, in turn, boosts the industry. With that said, the North American market is expanding at a very impressive rate and is expected to beat APAC.

In 2018, the global market for sliding table saws was approximately $400 million; by 2026, it is expected to hit $540 million, with a CAGR of 4.25%.

3.Germany and Italy Produce Most of EU’s Sliding Table Saws

The EU is the third-biggest market after APAC and North America. And Germany and Italy are leading the industry, manufacturing most sliding table saws on the continent. Europe is also projected to achieve steady growth in upcoming years. Thanks to the exponentially increasing market of designer furniture, a CAGR of 2.0% is a very realistic prediction.

4.Companies Sold 2,700 Tons of Saw Blades in Japan in 2020

There won’t be any cutting without the blades, and in 2020, international companies managed to sell 2,700 tons of saw blades—quite an impressive result. That was a 55% boost compared to 2019 and the highest registered volume for Japan. Well, this shouldn’t come as a surprise because we just learned that Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market for saw tables, and this country is a part of that region.

By the way, Japan has its own unique saws. They cut on the pull stroke, give you a nice, accurate cut, and come at a very low price. Japanese saws can’t handle wide timber, though, let alone metal.

5.In the US, Table Saws Cause 35,000–40,000 Injuries a Year

Almost 40,000 American citizens are injured by table saws every year—that’s the sad reality. This has a lot to do with how table saws work. Instead of the blade cutting the material in a circular motion or going up and down, the operator has to push the material towards the blade. Fractures, severe lacerations, avulsions, and, regretfully, amputations account for 86% of those injuries.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
