Global Power Lawn & Garden Equipment

Report Overview

Battery Advances Continuing to Reshape Power Lawn & Garden Equipment Market

Battery-powered products will account for the entirety of power lawn and garden equipment demand growth through 2030. Especially rapid cordless share growth is occurring in commercial markets, with firms increasingly launching battery-powered professional turf mowers.

Key Themes Covered in this Report:

• Deployment of improved battery technologies, including tabless cells
• Supplier shifts to selling tools and batteries separately

Growth in robotic mowers and other autonomous lawn and garden equipment

Featuring 189 Tables & 100 Figures!

Global demand for power lawn and garden equipment is forecast to increase 2.9% per year to $32.4 billion in 2030. Growth will be supported by rising single-family housing construction in high-income nations, with sales trends returning to more historically normal patterns following a period of post-pandemic market correction.

Battery Power Rapidly Capturing Share in Larger Product Segments

Cordless electric products will continue to post strong sales growth, accounting for the entirety of equipment demand gains through 2030. With battery power already entrenched in many handheld product segments, the strongest gains will occur among larger products with high power requirements, such as riding mowers.

In particular, professional-grade, battery-powered riding turf mowers are seeing their deployment rapidly expand, as several major suppliers have begun deliveries of their first products of this type since 2022. New product launches in this category continue to be announced, and especially fast market share gains are expected.

Growth for professional-grade cordless electric equipment will be supported by ongoing advances in battery technology, with tabless cells representing a particularly important innovation for products with high power and run-time requirements. These products only began to be deployed in the power lawn and garden equipment market in 2024 and hold potential for significant adoption as production capacity scales up.

Robotic Mowers Expanding to Turf Applications

Robot mowers have been an important growth segment for power lawn and garden equipment during the 2020s, but until recently the vast majority of these have been lawn mowers. With deployment of battery-powered turf and grounds mowers picking up, launches of robotic mowers targeted at professional turf and grounds applications have likewise accelerated. These products will be significantly more prevalent going forward and hold potential for significant gains in the golf course market, which has returned to growth globally after facing generally weak conditions throughout the 2010s.

Sales Strategies Evolving with Entrenchment of Battery Power

The widespread adoption of cordless electric products in the power lawn and garden equipment is driving changes in how suppliers approach product sales. While previously most cordless electric equipment was sold with included batteries, bare tool sales offerings are becoming increasingly common, as many buyers already own compatible batteries. Continuation of this trend will impact the market in several ways:

• Offering bare tools represents a significant cost reduction and will further support the entrenchment of battery power among users who have already invested in cordless electric tools.
• Opportunities for standalone battery sales will expand as users are increasingly afforded the freedom to customize and expand their battery inventories separately from equipment purchases.

Suppliers will be further incentivized to develop, maintain, and market integrated battery ecosystems

Leading Companies Driving Trends in the Global Power Lawn & Garden Equipment Industry

Historical Market Size & Growth Drivers

Demand for power lawn and garden equipment is impacted primarily by the health of the general economy and personal income levels, as well as by climate and weather patterns.

In the consumer market, which accounts for the majority of power lawn and garden equipment usage, demand for these products is sensitive to fluctuations in:

• consumer spending
• housing completions
• residential lot size
• cultural preferences, including the presence of a lawn culture

Consumer market trends in the 2020’s have displayed especially high levels of volatility, with sales reaching all-time highs during a pandemic-era boom, followed by several years of losses as markets corrected.

Sales to commercial users are also impacted by trends in the economy overall as well as by commercial building activity, the popularity of leisure activities such as golfing, and in consumer preferences for DIY versus DIFM lawn maintenance.

Demand patterns in the global power lawn and garden equipment industry show significant regional variation, with consumer market demand concentrated in high-income nations in North America and Western Europe. In contrast, consumer interest in these products is lacking in most of the rest of the world, leaving demand to be driven by commercial market trends. The concentration of demand in mature, high-income markets also represents a constraint on growth potential, as fast-growing industrializing markets like China and India are underrepresented in this industry.

In addition to economic factors, demand for power lawn and garden equipment can also be significantly impacted by weather patterns and climate change. For example:

• Snow blowers see higher market penetration in regions with colder weather.
• Regions that experience less rainfall and/or see adoption of water-saving landscaping techniques, such as xeriscaping, are less likely to require power lawn and garden equipment to maintain grass and plants.
