A battery-operated grass trimmer is a cordless gardening tool powered by rechargeable batteries, usually lithium-ion, designed for trimming grass and weeds as well as edging lawns. These tools offer similar functions to gas-powered trimmers but run on electrical energy stored in batteries, making them more eco-friendly and convenient for home use. The primary function of a battery-operated grass trimmer is to keep lawn edges neat and precise, particularly around trees, fences, and garden beds.
The main types of battery-operated grass trimmers include cordless grass trimmers, cordless string trimmers, and cordless brush cutters. Cordless grass trimmers are battery-powered gardening tools intended to cut grass and weeds in hard-to-reach areas where lawn mowers cannot easily operate, providing greater mobility and convenience by eliminating the need for a power cord. These trimmers use various battery types, such as lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, lead acid, and integrated battery systems, and come in different power ranges, including up to 20 volts, 21 to 40 volts, 41 to 60 volts, and over 60 volts. These products are sold through multiple channels, including online stores, supermarkets or hypermarkets, specialty shops, and others, catering to a broad range of end users such as residential customers, commercial landscapers, municipal services, and DIY enthusiasts.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

The battery-operated grass trimmer market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.67 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising consumer preference for low-noise equipment, growing awareness of sustainable lawn care practices, increased availability of affordable battery-powered tools, the replacement of gas-powered trimmers, and the rising popularity of home gardening and landscaping.
The battery-operated grass trimmer market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be linked to a greater emphasis on zero-emission gardening equipment, the expanding landscaping services industry, the development of urban green spaces, increased consumer interest in smart and connected garden tools, and the rising trend of do-it-yourself gardening. Key trends anticipated during the forecast period include advancements in lithium-ion battery technology, innovations in lightweight and ergonomic designs, integration of smart features and connectivity, improvements in fast-charging capabilities, and developments in noise reduction technologies.
The increasing home gardening activities are anticipated to drive the growth of the battery-operated grass trimmers market in the future. Home gardening activities involve growing and caring for plants, vegetables, fruits, or flowers within residential areas such as backyards, balconies, terraces, or indoor spaces, primarily for personal use, leisure, or decorative purposes. The surge in home gardening is attributed to the rising demand for fresh and organic produce, as more people wish to have control over their food consumption and avoid harmful chemicals present in commercially produced food. Battery-operated grass trimmers support home gardening by providing cordless ease and precise trimming, making them suitable for lawns with difficult-to-access spots. They lessen physical exertion by offering efficient, low-noise operation with minimal upkeep, thus enhancing overall yard maintenance effectiveness. For example, in June 2025, the UK's Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs reported that the value of home-grown vegetables reached £2.028 billion ($2.62 billion) in 2024, up from £1.9 billion ($2.57 billion) in 2023. Hence, the growth in home gardening activities is fueling the expansion of the battery-operated grass trimmer market.
Leading companies in the battery-operated grass trimmer market are emphasizing the development of innovative products such as string trimmers to boost cutting efficiency, increase battery longevity, and enhance user comfort with ergonomic designs and smart features. String trimmers are handheld gardening devices used to cut grass, weeds, and small plants in areas that lawn mowers cannot easily reach, such as edges, corners, and around obstacles. For instance, in May 2023, Husqvarna Group, a Swedish industrial equipment manufacturer, introduced the 525i Battery Series, which features the 525iLST string trimmer and two edgers, the straight-shaft 525iES and the curved-shaft 525iECS. Each tool is equipped with a brushless E-TORQ motor that delivers performance comparable to a 25-cc petrol engine. They boast IPX4 weather resistance, metal skid plates, ergonomic grips, and three speed modes with LED indicators, designed for durability and comfort. When used with the 40 C80 charging rail for efficient overnight charging, this lineup provides a quiet, low-maintenance, cordless option for professional users.
In May 2024, Chervon Group, a China-based power tools manufacturer, acquired FLEX Scandinavia AB from the Ahlsell Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Chervon Group's presence in the Scandinavian market and improving the distribution and support of its FLEX and EGO brands throughout Northern Europe. FLEX Scandinavia AB is a Sweden-based company specializing in battery-operated (cordless) grass trimmers.
