View industry report for Europe

Europe's Cutlery, Hand Tool and General Hardware Manufacturing, known for high-quality exports, faces increased competition because of cheap imports from China and rising raw material costs. This situation harms profit, especially in lower to mid-tier markets where pricing is crucial. Also, increased interest rates have reduced construction activity, decreasing demand for these products. Industry revenue is expected to drop at a compound annual rate of 4.7% over the five years through 2024 to €93.3 billion – including an estimated 1.9% slump in the current year.
