Hedge Trimmer Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2022-2027

The global hedge trimmer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.07% during 2022-2027.

MARKET OUTLOOK

The market is growing substantially due to the increasing need for equipment from residential and commercial users. The growth in demand is attributed to the expansion of green acreage and is highly influenced by weather conditions.

The need for hedge trimmers surges during the summer and spring due to the increased time spent on lawn care activities. Moreover, the growing government efforts to expand green acreage through constructing parks, lawns and playgrounds are pushing the demand for hedge trimmers in the market. Also, with the rising interest in gardening and lawn care activities, the demand for landscaping services is growing significantly, pushing the hedge trimmer market growth from the landscaping service industry. Further, the global garden hedge trimmers market shipments are expected to reach 5,719.83 thousand units by 2027.

MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

• The increasing government initiatives in developing countries to expand garden areas, grasslands and parklands are boosting the green acreage across city centers, horticulture, and landscaping industries, and the initiation of green roofs in developed economies is one of the key contributors to the hedge trimmer market. On the other hand, the growing popularity and increasing participation in various sports activities such as golf courses, football, cricket, rugby, and other outdoor space are pushing the construction industry demand. These factors are likely to propel the garden hedge trimmer market.
• Development in lithium-Ion batteries has compelled vendors to extend the lawn mower product range with Li-ion batteries. With the marketing restriction for NiCd cells and lower penetration of NiMH cells, the growth of Li-ion battery technology is more likely to positively impact the growth and adoption of hedge trimmers in the garden industry. This will further boost the demand for gardening equipment, such as hedge trimmers, and contribute to the hedge trimmer market during the forecast period.
• Governments across the globe are adopting sustainable and green technologies to reduce pollution levels in cities. Gardening equipment also falls under the same category and is even considered more polluting than vehicles. The professional landscaping service providers operating within municipalities, hospitality, office, state entities, and customers with indoor projects are looking to produce zero exhaust emission and noiseless equipment to expand working hours in public spaces.
• Cities worldwide have been gradually adopting urban gardening to cope with the issue of pollution, shortage of food and clean water, and rapidly rising temperatures, among others. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a large part of the developing world is facing a shortage of food, water, and arable land. In developed economies, urban gardening is seen as an antidote to the industrialized agriculture sector that uses chemical fertilizers and pollutes the waterways. On the other hand, creating a personal garden is cost-effective and beneficial, thereby positively impacting the adoption of garden hedge trimmers during the forecast period.
• A sustainable city is one in which the inflow of material, energy resources, and waste disposal do not exceed the city's surrounding environment's capability, and urban consumption is lower than the natural environment. Such factors forecast the demand for garden equipment such as hedge trimmers during the projected period.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

The increasing environmental pollution caused by gasoline hedge trimmers causes much harm to the environment. These gas-powered hedge trimmers are inefficient and generate many harmful ecological gases. The old two-stroke engines are highly inefficient and lead to the emission of various air pollutants into the environment, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, methane, ethanol, and others. Such factors have propelled the growth of the electric corded hedge trimmer market, and it is expected to witness an absolute growth of 22.49% in revenue and 26.05 in unit shipments during the forecast period.

The emergence of Chinese vendors producing low-cost hedge trimmers is a significant challenge faced by international vendors such as Husqvarna and Honda in the hedge trimmer market. Many Chinese vendors have focused on product attributes and offer low-cost battery-powered hedge trimmers. Chinese brands such as Denna are becoming quite popular in European and Asian countries. Chinese manufacturers sell products at 1/5th the prices of high-branded electric hedge trimmers made by Western manufacturers.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• Several Asian governments have invested heavily in urban farming and gardening technologies to cope with the surging population and fight food insecurity. With government support, China, which has rapidly industrialized in recent decades, has become a world leader in indoor vertical farming.
• China has been investing in eco-city projects currently implemented at a level where more than 200 cities are incorporating green spaces. In cities such as Shanghai, the construction of business centers and tourism projects such as theme parks are expected to drive the hedge trimmer market during the forecast period.
• In March 2021, the Government of China launched a program to construct urban parks to convert concrete jungles across the country into green spaces. Hence, developing new parks is expected to boost the hedge trimmer market.
