The rise in demand for gardens and lawns is a driving trend in the market. The main growth driver of the market is increasing demand for garden and lawn care equipment. Consumer interest in gardening activities, such as lawn care, backyard beautification, and backyard cookouts, has increased significantly over the past decade. The rise in popularity of sports such as lawn tennis, croquet, cricket, football, hockey, and rugby is contributing to market growth during the forecast period. The demand is estimated to rise during the forecast period, driven by improved living conditions and increased interest in gardening as a hobby.
Moreover, widespread usage of these to maintain public facilities, such as parks, schools, and sports fields, is also expected to drive the market. Rising awareness about green roofs is also driven the market growth. Acceptance of lawn mowers has been promoted by the benefits of Green roofs, such as improved management of flooding through reducing rainfall, energy saving, and carbon sequestration, which will fuel the demand during the forecast period.
The emergence of advanced robotic lawn mowers is a primary trend in the market. Companies are expected to concentrate on introducing robotic mowing machines in response to the rising demand for high-tech lawn mowers among convenience-conscious customers. The industry is being driven by technologies like GPS and Wi-Fi, which will enable retailers to maintain market growth in the future. What's more, the joining of camera, infrared and ultrasonic sensors permits grass to be watered with the most extreme effectiveness, identification, or evasion of hindrances that are no more prominent than a base human mediation.
However, the demand for advanced products, from the affluent middle class who enjoy gardening as a hobby is driving the growth of the lawn mower market. In addition, the development of government-sponsored commercial space infrastructure projects will also have a key role to play in stimulating demand in the business sector. Thus, the emergence of technologically advanced robotic lawn mowers will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rise in pollution and emissions from lawn mowers is a major challenge faced by the market. Internal combustion yard cutters are huge supporters of air poisons and add to environmental change. There are additional ways that gas-powered lawn care equipment harms the environment. The EPA estimates that more than 17 million gallons of gasoline are spilled each year while refueling lawn care equipment, causing soil pollution and degradation.
However, portable generators, including those in recreational vehicles, are expected to meet stricter standards by 2024 and meet zero emissions standards by 2028. Moreover, CARB is of the opinion that lawnmower engines are very polluting in spite of their small size. By 2031, it is anticipated that the amount of smog-forming pollutants from lawn mowers will virtually double that from light passenger vehicles. Thus, the rising pollution concerns and emissions pose a threat to the environment, which will, in turn, hamper the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
