Impact Socket Market

Market Overview:

The global impact socket market size reached US$ 1,029.6 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,440.0 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% during 2023-2028.

An impact socket is a mechanical device used in conjunction with powered impact or air wrenches or drivers, as the combination of these provides sufficient torque for a fastener to be tightened. As opposed to regular sockets, impact sockets are usually made of chrome molybdenum and are black in color due to a coating of black oxide. They store kinetic energy in a rotating hammer that is connected to the impact socket, thereby reducing the probability of shattering from vibrations caused. The impact socket moves clockwise or anticlockwise as the kinetic energy is released, thus resulting in the loosening or tightening of the nut bolt. It is used by mechanics in garages to remove seized nuts and bolts from cars with impact wrenches. Apart from this, they are also extensively used by professional racing teams for fast tightening or loosening the nut bolts while changing tires on vehicles.

Impact Socket Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the expanding construction activities across the globe. This can be attributed to considerable growth in the construction, real estate and hospitality industries. In addition to this, the rapid product utilization in the manufacturing sector for loosening or tightening nuts and bolts is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market. Numerous impact socket manufacturers are being offered subsidies by the governments of their respective countries while receiving technology transfers from renowned companies, which is providing an impetus to the market. The market is also fueled by the easy product availability across online and offline organized retail channels. Furthermore, numerous merger and acquisition (M&A) activities by key players seeking to gain a competitive advantage through joint ventures are propelling the market. Some of the other factors that are creating a positive outlook for the market include rapid urbanization and industrialization, continual product innovations, inflating disposable income levels and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
