A lawn mower is a machine, either hand-operated or powered, featuring one or more rotating blades or a reel. Its primary function is to trim grass surfaces on lawns to an even height.
The main categories of lawn mowers encompass riding lawn mowers, walk-behind lawn mowers, and robotic or autonomous models. Riding lawn mowers come equipped with seats, steering wheels, and controls, allowing operators to sit while blades rotate within the cutting deck. These mowers are suitable for mowing small to medium-sized gardens and sports grounds ranging from 2 to 3 acres. They vary in size-small, medium, and large-and propulsion types such as electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) models. These are distributed through online and retail channels, catering to both residential and commercial use.
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.
Tariffs are impacting the lawn mower market by increasing the cost of imported engines, lithium-ion batteries, electric motors, steel decks, and electronic control units used in riding, walk-behind, and robotic mowers. Manufacturers and distributors in North America and Europe are particularly affected due to dependence on imported powertrain and battery components, while Asia-Pacific exporters face pricing pressure in global markets. These tariffs are raising retail prices and affecting purchasing decisions for residential and commercial users. However, they are also encouraging localized assembly, regional sourcing of components, and accelerated development of electric and battery-powered lawn mowers.

The growing consumer interest in gardening activities is expected to drive the growth of the lawn mower market going forward. Gardening involves cultivating plants in a dedicated plot, including flowers, herbs, or vegetables. In these activities, lawn mowers are widely used for chopping, trimming, or mowing grass to maintain well-groomed lawns at the appropriate height. Demand for lawn mowers is rising in response to increased gardening participation. For example, in June 2023, GOV.UK, the official UK government website, reported that tree planting rates in England had increased, with woodland creation growing by 40% to 3,128 hectares in 2022/23 compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rise in consumer gardening activities is expected to propel the lawn mower market in the coming years.
Major companies in the lawn mower market are focusing on next-generation robotic lawn mower technology to maximize market growth. Next-gen robotic lawn mowers feature advanced technologies such as GPS, real-time tracking, and AI integration to enhance performance, efficiency, and ease of use. For instance, in February 2023, RoboUP, a China-based manufacturer of robotic lawn mowers, launched the Ultimate No-Perimeter-Wire RTK AI Robot Lawn Mower. This mower operates without physical boundary wires using RTK, VSLAM, and IMU navigation for centimeter-accurate mowing within designated areas. It includes smart obstacle avoidance, multi-zone management, automatic recharging, and real-time anti-theft monitoring via the RoboUP app. Its robust drive system allows navigation of complex terrains and slopes while maintaining precise mowing patterns, simplifying lawn care for residential and commercial applications.
