Europe Lawn Mower Market - Comprehensive Study and Strategic Analysis 2022-2027
The Europe lawn mower market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.46% during 2022-2027
The research report offers revenue forecasts and insights in terms of unit volumes during the forecast period. In 2021, Europe accounted for nearly 35% of the global lawn mowers market, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.46% during the forecast period. The market is expected to witness the sale of 16484 thousand units of lawn mowers in Europe in 2027. The growth is attributed to the increasing construction of public gardens, parks, and commercial business complexes across various European countries. In addition, the high penetration of green spaces in Northern and Western Europe supports the demand for lawn mowers in the European market. However, in Eastern & Central Europe, the market will witness sluggish demand in the residential segment because of the low popularity of garden and lawn beautification among households.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EUROPE LAWN MOWER MARKET:
- In terms of volume, walk-behind lawn mowers dominate the Europe lawn mower market and are growing at a CAGR of 5.74% from 2021 to 2027.
- The residential segment is expected to add USD 2,566.53 million to the European lawn mowers market during the forecast period.
- The revenue from the gasoline-powered lawn mowers is expected to reach USD 9.5 billion by 2027 due to their high power and suitability for thick and tall grass.
- In 2021, the UK led the Europe lawn mower market in value and volume. UK's dominant share is attributed to its large population base leading to the penetration of many golf courses, higher demand for landscaping services from the residential and commercial sector, and concentration of many international hotels & motels with properties spread over acres of land consisting of large lawns & gardens across the country.
With sustainable practices integrated into landscapes in Europe, significant innovations in battery technology are expected to grow more than ever. Therefore, lithium-ion technologies are anticipated to grow at a rapid pace. The sustainability directives have also given rise to the mulching trend. It enables sustainable soil fertilization and relieves the operator from the inconvenience of gathering grass. Vendors are thus adding mulching capabilities to their mowers which is projected to support the market growth.
The increasing government initiatives to regulate the noise levels encourage the vendors to launch new models with additional features. For instance, Directive 2000/14/EC of the European Commission has set various regulations and guidelines for the noise emissions of outdoor equipment, leading to the development of lawnmowers with lower noise emissions in the European market.
The high gasoline prices in various European countries such as Norway, Finland, Iceland, and others due to the Russia and Ukraine conflict is expected to hamper the demand for gasoline-based lawn mowers in the respective markets. However, the government's efforts to reduce the fuel prices by cutting down the tax rates are likely to reduce the impact on the gasoline-based lawn mowers market.
Several European countries have witnessed the growing popularity of artificial turf among consumers in recent years. Moreover, soccer fields across Europe have already started using artificial grass, which will hinder the growth of professional lawn mowers in the market. According to Arizton Advisory and Intelligence's global artificial turf market report, the industry is growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2022 to 2027.
The offline distribution channel dominated the market, accounting for a revenue share of 62.39% in 2021, and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to high customer preference to comprehend the functionalities and uses of the product before making the final purchase. The entry of traditional garden equipment manufacturers into the market has increased the sale of lawn mowers through offline channels such as specialty stores and supermarkets worldwide. Although the trend of selling these devices online is rising, a significant share of lawn mower distribution takes place through specialty stores.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES TO EXPAND GREEN AREAS:
- In recent years, green cities such as Berlin have gained political traction with governments to improve green infrastructure. There is also a movement against the privatization of land so that it can be developed into green spaces. All these factors are resulting in a spike in the sales of gardening equipment over the past few years.
- The Italian government has taken a range of economic steps, such as the Green Reward program, intended to boost the country's lawnmowers industry. Moreover, Milan is "going green" to counter climate change and promote the quality of life of its 1.4 million residents by 2030, thus offering significant growth prospects to Italy's lawn mowers market.
- The Government of Austria is increasingly taking initiatives to boost the green cover across the country. For instance, in 2021, Milton (a village in Austria) planned more than USD 4 million in investments to construct public parks and expand its shared outdoor spaces.
- Non-profit organizations and governments have taken up various projects to increase the green space in cities. For instance, Basel in Switzerland has made green spaces a legal requirement in new buildings.
