The demand for turf care equipment has increased significantly in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue in the upcoming years due to increasing applications at commercial lawns, golf courses, and sports turfs throughout the world. Furthermore, sales of lawn care equipment have enhanced due to increasing technological development by key manufacturers that has enhanced their applications in end use sectors. As automation has gained traction in numerous industries, coupled with labour shortages and the desire to cut labour costs, more lawn and turf owners are turning to turf equipment as an investment with long-term financial gains in mind.
During initial period, the turf care equipment manufacturers experienced problems such as product durability and quality, product availability, and pricing issues. However, the industry gained momentum as manufacturers launched advanced products along with ease of availability of these products for end users worldwide. Manufacturers have improved production capacity in response to growing demand, causing the market to rise at a CAGR of more than 3% during the last five years.
Technologies and innovations like connected robotic mowers, which allow mowers to communicate with one another while mowing a lawn, are gaining popularity. Several additional new features introduced by established and emerging players are likely to attract customers to move towards advanced options. Manufacturers around the world are adopting this rising trend in order to stay in line with their peers in market.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global economy at many levels, including the manufacturing industry. With a number of end users affected in North America, East Asia, and Pacific region, supply and demand shortages are projected to result in a considerable decline in Y-O-Y growth. However, Persistence Market Research predicts the worldwide lawn care equipment market to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.5% through 2033.
Turf care equipment is most commonly seen on commercial lawns and turfs, as well as on sports fields and turfs. These may be used for a variety of tasks such as mowing, tilling, aerating, cultivating, spraying, etc. Turf care equipment plays a key role in maintaining grass on lawn and turf. Leading companies provide a diverse range of products for a variety of lawn management applications. Players operating in the market are also focusing on research and development activities in order to give technologically advanced products to customers.
Competitive price offerings and an increase in end user satisfaction based on performance and the utilisation of modern technology are the results of R&D activities. However, building sales and service facilities in new markets, as well as long-term agreements with regional distributors, open the way for manufacturers to expand their channel reach.
In many developing countries, establishing small turfs leads to a rise in turf care equipment sales. Over the last few years, tier-1 and tier-2 cities in countries such as Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, and others have begun to experience the problem of no or limited space for sports activities, and as a result, the business of providing space on hourly basis for such activities has grown, creating demand for turf care equipment. Lawn mowers, aerators, and tillers have shown strong sales growth from 2017 to 2022, and are expected to rise further throughout the projected period.
