Power Lawn & Garden Equipment to 2017 - Industry Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

Demand for power lawn and garden equipment in the US is expected to grow 4.0 percent annually through 2017, reaching $10.6 billion. Turf and grounds equipment will record the most rapid gains, followed by hedge trimmers. The commercial market will outpace the dominant residential segment, driven by landscapers.

This study analyzes the $8.7 billion US power lawn and garden equipment industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2002, 2007 and 2012, and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 by material (e.g., metals, plastic), product (e.g., lawnmowers; turf and grounds equipment; trimmers and edgers; garden tractors and rotary tillers; blowers, vacuums and sweepers; snow throwers; hedge trimmers), market (e.g., residential, landscaping establishments, golf courses, government), and US region.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 35 industry competitors, including Honda Motor, Kubota, and Makita.
