Power Lawn & Garden Equipment (US Market & Forecast)

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $11.9 billion US market for power lawn and garden equipment. It presents historical demand data (2009, 2014, and 2019) and forecasts (2024 and 2029) by product (lawn mowers; turf and grounds mowers; trimmers and edgers; garden tractors and rotary tillers; chainsaws; blowers, vacuums, and sweepers; snow blowers; other power lawn and garden equipment; parts and attachments), power source (engine-driven, corded electric, cordless or battery-powered), market (residential, commercial), and region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West). The study also presents consumer survey data and evaluates company market share of key industry players.

Study Highlights include:

• The residential market has seen sales increases during the COVID-19 pandemic as more people are staying home and working on their yards.

• The long term outlook for commercial landscaping remains strong despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Battery-powered products continue to see strong growth, particularly in the residential market.

• Product development is improving performance of all power types and will spur adoption of battery-powered products and robotic mowers.
