Tool season in China

The demand for power tools in China increases with the temperature. This seasonal rise was noticeable again this year. According to information from the GfK market research company, sales in this product category rose by twelve per cent from February to March. The sales volume in the traditional hardware trade was clearly above the level achieved by the modern marketing formats, especially DIY and cash and carry stores. The GfK explains that this development is down to the customers, who are keen users of tools and prefer traditional dealers.
