Europe Lawn and Garden Tractor Market - Industry Outlook & Forecast 2022-2027

The Europe lawn and garden tractor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.61% during 2022-2027. Lawn and garden tractors are compact utility tractors used for mowing green cover areas, garden yards, and others, which are highly influenced by weather conditions. The sales growth rises for lawn & garden tractors in spring and summer due to increasing time spent on lawn care activities. Further, the rising sports activities and golf lawns are projected to boost the Europe lawn and garden tractor market in the upcoming years. Alternatively, the increasing raw material price, disruption in supply chain activities, and a surge in oil prices due to the Russian-Ukraine conflict are expected to hamper the market growth for the gas-powered lawn and garden tractor market instead.
