Earlier Report Observations

The Romanian market for metal cutting shears grew from 287 t in 2018 to 364 t in 2019, driven by technological innovations such as the introduction of CNC machines and laser cutters that improved metal processing efficiency, as well as the development of the cordless tool segment with new shear and sheet metal cutting machine models. However, in 2020, market volume dropped by 37% to 228 t due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the pandemic slump, the market recovered to 282 t in 2021, supported by sustained interest in electric and cordless tools. In 2022, growth continued to 323 t, aided by an expanded offering of high-quality electric shears with improved features like durable blades and quick-change systems, which enhanced user comfort and stimulated demand.

The market stabilized at 324 t in 2023 and then grew by 17% to 379 t in 2024, reflecting steady consumption growth of metal cutting shears in Romania.
