MARKET INSIGHTS

• The market's growth is attributed to the surging demand for ride-on mowers among professionals & semi-professionals end-users worldwide.

The demand for consumer mowers with power steering, comfortable seat & power lift is significantly gaining momentum in the global market. However, several factors such as high upfront cost & long replacement cycles are restraining the growth of ride-on mowers in the market.
• During COVID-19, the supply chain constraints significantly impacted the ride-on mowers market. Stringent government regulations and policies from the local and national governments restricted the movement of supplies, activities at production facilities, and logistics of finished goods from manufacturers to consumers, thereby hampering the market growth.
