US demand for power lawn and garden equipment in the US is expected to grow
4.0 percent per annum through 2017, reaching $10.6 billion as the market
rebounds from a slight decline posted over the 2007-2012 period. Driven by an
acceleration in GDP growth, consumers will be increasingly willing to spend
their disposable incomes on durable goods, landscaping services, and
recreational activities such as golf, thereby boosting demand for both
consumer and commercial outdoor power equipment. Furthermore, technological
improvements, particularly in robotic lawnmowers and other battery-powered
units, will spur increased sales as consumers upgrade older equipment.
Commercial demand to outpace consumer sales
Commercial demand for outdoor power equipment will grow at a faster rate than
consumer product sales through 2017, fueled by a sharp rebound in demand by
landscaping firms. Growth in landscaping services revenue will accelerate
through 2017, prompting landscapers to 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 the declines posted over the 2007-2012 period, demand 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 mid
2000s. Although demand will rise in absolute terms, spending on power lawn and
garden equipment by federal, state, and local governments will continue to
decline as a percentage of public spending, reflecting increasing public
scrutiny and fiscal pressures placed upon many municipal governments by their
citizenries.
Turf, grounds equipment to record most rapid gains
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, products
that can often be replaced by non-powered substitutes, will also post
above-average sales expansions through 2017 as improving personal incomes and
landscaping revenues allow residential and commercial purchasers to buy
powered equipment more often.
Improved batteries, robotic mowers to impact demand
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. While some residential equipment has been commonly powered
by batteries for many years, 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 units as
prices drop and their performance improves.
