The global zero turn mower market size was estimated at USD 5.28 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 9.70 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2033. The expansion of the commercial landscaping industry, which encompasses a wide range of services including grounds maintenance, turf management, and ornamental horticulture for commercial clients such as golf courses, public parks, municipalities, universities, and corporate campuses fuels growth of the market.
The commercial landscaping sector is experiencing steady growth driven by rising urbanization, increasing investments in green infrastructure, and greater emphasis on aesthetic and functional outdoor spaces. This trend is particularly visible in the surge of golf course investments, public park revitalizations, and expanded groundskeeping contracts in institutional and hospitality settings. The golf course segment, a key customer base for zero turn mowers, is seeing a resurgence in capital spending and infrastructure modernization. As of the end of 2023, there were approximately 15,963 golf courses across 13,963 facilities in the U.S., according to the National Golf Foundation (NGF). This accounts for nearly 42% of the global golf course supply and reinforces the country's pivotal role in driving demand for commercial turf maintenance equipment. The scale and frequency of maintenance required for these expansive landscapes make zero turn mowers indispensable, particularly due to their maneuverability, productivity, and operator comfort.
The global demand for zero turn mowers is rising as end users prioritize efficiency, speed, and precision in lawn care and landscape maintenance. Unlike traditional lawn tractors, zero turn mowers offer faster cutting times, sharper maneuverability, and the ability to handle complex mowing patterns with minimal operator effort. These advantages have made ZTMs a preferred solution for commercial landscapers, municipalities, facility managers, and large estate owners looking to improve operational output and reduce job completion times.
High upfront costs and maintenance complexity remain a key challenge in the adoption of autonomous zero-turn mowers. While ZTMs are known for their speed, cutting efficiency, and superior maneuverability, their cost structure can discourage price-sensitive buyers, particularly small landscaping businesses and residential prosumers.Entry-level residential ZTMs with 34 to 42-inch cutting decks typically range from USD 3,300 to USD 4,000. Mid-range commercial units, offering 48 to 60-inch fabricated decks and higher horsepower engines, are usually priced between USD 4,000 and USD 5,500. In contrast, premium electric or autonomous ZTMs such as the John Deere Z380R with a 54-inch deck are priced around USD 8,999, while heavy-duty commercial fleets with 60 to 70-inch decks and advanced hydrostatic drive systems can exceed USD 10,000.
