Manual Knife Sharpener Market Shows Strong Growth as Multi-Functionality and Portability Drive Demand

The global Manual Knife Sharpener market is entering a significant growth phase, fueled by rising home-cooking activity and the expansion of the outdoor tools industry.


According to Grand View Research (2024) and the Statista Tools & Home Improvement Report (2024), the market is expected to maintain a 5.8%–6.2% CAGR from 2024 to 2026, outperforming the overall kitchen hardware category.

Data shows that over 63% of consumers now prefer structured, multi-slot sharpeners, featuring diamond-coated rollers, ceramic finishing modules, and built-in angle guides. Meanwhile, 41% of outdoor users favor compact, portable sharpening tools, accelerating the shift toward modular, easy-to-use sharpening systems.

Asian manufacturers—especially leading Chinese suppliers such as TAISUN TECH—are a major growth driver. Innovations such as diamond abrasive technology, multi-angle guides, ceramic polishing modules, and magnetic blade stabilizers enhance sharpening precision, durability, and user safety.

 

Statista’s 2024 outdoor tools data further reveals:

Portable sharpeners saw 18.7% YoY sales growth;

48% of light-outdoor users purchased at least one EDC sharpening tool in the past year;

Searches related to “EDC knife maintenance tools” increased by 32% worldwide.

Experts predict three major innovation trends for the next two years:

more advanced angle-control systems;

sharpening slots compatible with a wider range of blade types;

eco-friendly or replaceable abrasive materials.

 

With growing demand in both home and outdoor settings, manual knife sharpeners are transitioning from traditional accessories to essential, high-value tools. Continuous innovation and consumer upgrades are reshaping this fast-evolving global category.
