Both residential home gardeners and commercial landscapers use a variety of equipment such as lawnmowers, garden tractors, trimmers and edgers, and blowers. This equipment aids in the upkeep of manicured lawns and gardens, parks, golf courses, and athletic fields. The global demand for power lawn and garden equipment is forecast to grow 2.5% per year to reach $24.2 billion in 2021, according to new findings presented in a [free downloadable white paper by The Freedonia Group](https://www.freedoniagroup.com/Content/Power-Lawn-Garden-Equipment-White-Paper). Here’s a quick look at lawn and garden industry statistics from Freedonia’s infographic on the topic. ![Lawn and Garden Industry](https://blog.marketresearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Blog_Images/Lawn%20and%20Garden%20Industry.jpg?width=630&height=357&name=Lawn%20and%20Garden%20Industry.jpg) ### Share this Image On Your Site

In addition to the statistics highlighted above, Freedonia notes three important global trends to watch in 2018 and beyond. ### 1. Sales of Battery-Powered Equipment Rise at a Fast Rate Engine-driven and corded electric products are expected to lose market share to battery-powered equipment. This trend isn’t limited to one geographic area. In fact, sales of battery-powered equipment are outpacing other options in every part of the world. Battery-powered equipment has improved, with greater power levels and run times, and now competes directly with commercial-grade engine-driven products. Not only that, cordless battery-operated systems are popular for robotic lawnmowers and other smart products, and they are considered quieter and more environmentally friendly. ### 2. Chinese Manufacturers Gain an Increasing Share The U.S. is the world’s largest exporter of power lawn and garden equipment, and China is the second. A large number of small and medium-sized suppliers in China produce lower-end, basic products. However, this dynamic may change as larger, multinational firms compete on quality and not just price. As more Asian-based suppliers target the U.S. as an export market, the U.S. will become an overall net importer. ### 3. Demand Concentrated in Specific Regions Typical households in the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe spend more on power lawn and garden equipment each year than in the rest of the world. With generally high wealth levels, these areas support a large lawn and garden market. Other key factors include: - Relatively large yards and a high volume of single family housing - A large number of golf courses and athletic fields - A cultural preference for manicured lawns and gardens - An expanding interest in outdoor living areas ### Read the Full White Paper to Find Out More [![GlobalPowerLawn_whitepaper_thumbRC](https://blog.marketresearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ebook_Covers/GlobalPowerLawn_whitepaper_thumbRC.png?width=150&name=GlobalPowerLawn_whitepaper_thumbRC.png)](https://www.freedoniagroup.com/Content/Power-Lawn-Garden-Equipment-White-Paper)To access more expert information from Freedonia, download the free white paper titled [*How to Compete in the Global Market: Recommendations & Opportunities for Power Lawn & Garden Equipment Executives*](https://www.freedoniagroup.com/Content/Power-Lawn-Garden-Equipment-White-Paper).
