US Power Lawn & Garden Equipment Market: CAGR, Trends, Demand and Players

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on the US economy as well as the market for power lawn and garden equipment. Investment in durable goods, including power lawn and garden equipment, is dependent on macroeconomic factors such as available discretionary income and trends in home building and sales. While financial uncertainty has counteracted some trends seen in the pre-pandemic years, such as the increasing use of DIFM landscaping, stay-at-home orders have spurred more consumers to invest in their outdoor spaces.

Commercial end users of outdoor power equipment, such as landscapers, have reduced capital investment in order to maintain liquidity during the uncertainty of the pandemic:

  • While many landscaping businesses were deemed “essential” by state and local governments, many consumers cancelled at least some services, which has limited sources of revenue.
  • Landscaping businesses have additional costs associated with preventing the spread of COVID-19, such as providing personal protective equipment and sanitizing equipment as well as directing workers to use additional vehicles to prevent close contact among employees.

In contrast, many consumers who are now staying home more are investing more time and money into their yards and outdoor areas:

  • 26% of adult respondents to the August 2020 edition of The Freedonia Group National Online Consumer Survey reported that they had started a food garden because of the coronavirus pandemic.
  • 42% reported that they were spending more time on projects in their outdoor space (e.g., landscaping and planting) because of the pandemic.
  • Outdoor and garden spaces are not only seen as a place to escape the cooped up feeling of spending both working and leisure hours at home. They are also considered a safe space to socialize with others outside the household.

Investments include:

  • renovating landscaping
  • installing and expanding gardens
  • creating recreation spaces

Consumers are using some funds that would have been used on vacations and other leisure or recreational activities to pay for these activities, which often include purchasing power equipment for both the initial installations and the ongoing maintenance. As a result, major retailers have seen upticks in sales of landscaping products and outdoor power equipment despite economic uncertainty.

Going forward, it remains unclear how much of the growth in DIY landscaping activity will persist beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. As people return to patterns more typical of pre-pandemic life, they will find themselves with less free time at home and may return to prior yard maintenance habits, such as relying on professionals to work on their yard spaces. However, recent growth in remote work is likely to continue in a significant way. This was a latent trend accelerated by the pandemic, and companies now have more established infrastructure to enable remote work going forward. As a result, consumers are likely to continue spending more time around their homes, at least to an extent.
