Power Lawn & Garden Equipment

As Quoted In Government Product News

Increasing consumer spending on durable goods, landscaping services, and recreation such as golf, will help boost demand for both consumer and commercial outdoor power equipment.

US demand to grow 4% annually through 2017

Demand for power lawn and garden equipment in the US is expected to grow 4.0 percent per year through 2017, reaching $10.6 billion as the market rebounds from the slight decline posted over the 2007-2012 period. As GDP growth accelerates and income and consumer confidence levels rise, consumers will be increasingly willing to spend their disposable incomes on durable goods, landscaping services, and recreational activities such as golf, helping boost demand for both consumer and commercial outdoor power equipment.

Turf, grounds equipment to be fastest growing type

Turf and grounds equipment will record the most rapid market gains through 2017, stimulated primarily by an expansion in the number and average size of landscaping firms. Hedge trimmers and blowers, vacuums, and sweepers will also experience healthy sales expansions through 2017 as climbing personal incomes and landscaping revenues support a shift in demand away from unpowered equipment. Lawnmowers are by far the largest product segment and will return to growth over the 2012-2017 period, stimulated by a rebound in housing completions.

Higher landscaping firm revenues will also be the primary driver for increased commercial sales of power lawn and garden equipment, as landscapers hire additional employees and invest in new equipment in order to capitalize on growth opportunities. While sales of outdoor power equipment to golf courses and government purchasers will also recover from declines posted over the 2007-2012 period, demand in these markets will increase at a much slower rate through 2017 than in the landscaping market. Sales in the golfing industry will be hampered by continued course closings as the market corrects itself from the oversupply issues that emerged in the middle of the first decade of the 2000s. Although government demand will rise in absolute terms, spending on power lawn and garden equipment will continue to decline as a percentage of public spending, reflecting increasing public scrutiny and fiscal pressures.

More battery-powered and robotic units to boost gains

Several technological trends will significantly impact the power lawn and garden equipment market, none more so than the introduction of more electric equipment -- particularly battery-powered units -- in both the residential and commercial markets. Improvements in battery technology will drive increased sales of larger units that use this power source, especially riding lawnmowers. Demand for robotic mowers will also climb rapidly through 2017 and beyond, as buyers increasingly opt for the convenience of these products as prices drop and their performance improves.

Study Scope

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.
