Lawn Mower Market Overview, 2029

Lawnmowers play a crucial role in maintaining yards and lawns, utilized globally for cutting, trimming, and mowing grass in various settings such as fields, gardens, and lawns. They ensure that turf remains well-groomed and maintains a consistent height. Typically, a lawn mower operates with one or more rotating blades that achieve an even cut. These mowing devices are designed for mobility, featuring wheels or rollers for easy maneuverability. Additionally, lawn mowers are equipped with a push handle or steering wheel, facilitating movement and direction changes.

According to the research report, “Global Lawn Mower Market Outlook, 2029”, the market is expected to cross USD 45.4 Billion market size by 2029, with 7.20% CAGR by 2024-29. The lawn mower market worldwide is witnessing consistent growth, fuelled by several factors, including an increasing demand for effective lawn care tools, urban expansion, and a heightened focus on landscaping and outdoor aesthetics among both homeowners and businesses.

As urban green spaces and residential lawn care gain prominence, particularly in North America and Europe, consumers are more inclined to invest in sophisticated lawn maintenance technologies. Innovations such as battery-operated electric mowers and smart robotic mowers are influencing market dynamics, attracting environmentally aware consumers and those looking for automated, low-maintenance solutions.

The global lawn mower market, segmented by product type, includes three main categories: walk-behind mowers, ride-on mowers, and robotic lawn mowers, each catering to specific user needs and lawn sizes. Walk-behind mowers are popular for residential use in small to medium-sized lawns due to their affordability, maneuverability, and effective grass-cutting capability. These mowers are further categorized into manual, gas-powered, and electric variants, offering users a range of power sources and convenience levels. Ride-on mowers, on the other hand, are ideal for larger lawns, parks, and golf courses, allowing users to operate them while seated, which reduces manual effort and enhances mowing efficiency.

Known for their durability and versatility, ride-on mowers are often chosen by commercial landscapers and those with substantial lawn areas. Robotic lawn mowers, the latest innovation in the market, provide a high level of convenience through autonomous operation. Using advanced sensors and GPS technology, these mowers navigate and cut the lawn independently, making them popular among homeowners seeking minimal intervention in lawn maintenance.

The global lawn mower market, segmented by end-user, serves various sectors: residential, professional landscaping services, golf courses, and government entities. The residential segment dominates due to the rising trend of homeownership, outdoor leisure spaces, and the increased focus on lawn care aesthetics, particularly in North America and Europe. Professional landscaping services are experiencing notable growth as demand rises for commercial lawn maintenance in corporate and public spaces, fuelled by urban expansion and the desire for well-maintained green areas. Golf courses, needing specialized and durable equipment, contribute significantly to market demand, especially as the popularity of golf increases globally.

Government and other entities, such as parks and public spaces, further drive demand for robust, high-capacity mowers to support large-scale maintenance needs. The market is also categorized by fuel type: manual-powered, gas-powered, propane-powered, electric-corded, and electric-cordless. Gas-powered mowers, traditionally dominant, remain popular due to their efficiency and suitability for large areas, but there is a notable shift toward electric-corded and cordless mowers, driven by sustainability concerns and technological advancements in battery life. Propane-powered mowers are also gaining attention as eco-friendly alternatives. This segmentation’s growth is propelled by consumer interest in greener, quieter, and low-maintenance options, as well as the increasing affordability and convenience of electric lawn care solutions.

The global lawn mower market is segmented by drive type into AWD (All-Wheel Drive), FWD (Front-Wheel Drive), and RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive), each designed to meet specific terrain and user requirements. AWD mowers excel in traction, making them particularly suitable for hilly or uneven landscapes, appealing to users facing challenging lawn conditions. In contrast, FWD mowers are designed for easy maneuverability, making them ideal for smaller, flatter lawns typically found in urban settings, and are favored by residential users for their cost-effectiveness. RWD mowers provide a balanced option, well-suited for moderately sized lawns and diverse terrains, appreciated for their efficiency in managing slopes and rough areas.

The growth of this segmentation is fueled by rising consumer awareness of specialized drive options that enhance usability and performance across various lawn types. Additionally, the market is categorized by blade type, including cylinder blades, standard blades, mulching blades, and others like lifting blades. Cylinder blades are recognized for delivering a fine, precise cut, making them popular among golf courses and professional landscapers. Standard blades are versatile and widely used in residential mowers, while mulching blades are preferred for their ability to finely chop grass clippings, supporting eco-friendly lawn care practices. The expansion of this segment reflects a growing preference for specialized blades that provide efficiency, precision, and environmental advantages, particularly as consumers increasingly seek advanced, customized lawn care solutions.

COVID-19 Impact

The global COVID-19 pandemic has created unparalleled challenges for the outdoor power equipment industry in the short-term. The global supply chain of outdoor power equipment such as lawn mowers, finished goods, parts, and accessories has been facing disruptions since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Original equipment manufacturer depends on a complex global supply chain, which is mostly dependent on China. Though outdoor power equipment manufacturers keep sufficient inventories of mowers and related accessories, and markets such as the US are witnessing stable demand in garden machinery, the overall impact of COVID-19 on the commercial lawn mower market remains negligible.
