Maker Tool Going Global: Growth and Reefs in a 100-Billion Scale Track
Recently, at the first domestic Maker Tool Industry Alliance Conference hosted by PingPong, Zheng Zhikun, head of PingPong's China e-commerce business, made a comparison: currently, the global household penetration rate of robot vacuums is about 9%, while the future household penetration rate of Maker Tools will be higher than this figure. Supporting this judgment is market data—multiple international research reports show that the global DIY maker tool market size reached 18.9 billion US dollars in 2025, and is expected to surge to 36.2 billion US dollars by 2033. However, contrasting with the 100-billion scale volume, this track has long been regarded as "geek toys," and this lag in perception precisely means a window of opportunity.
