Market Growth Factors

Development in commercial construction

Commercial construction projects often involve the creation of large outdoor spaces, including parks, office complexes, shopping centers, and recreational areas. The maintenance of these green spaces becomes a priority after construction. Zero-turn mowers are efficient tools for maintaining lawns and landscaping in these areas. Many commercial construction projects lead to the creation of properties that need ongoing maintenance. Property management companies use zero-turn mowers to ensure these areas remain well-kept and visually appealing. Keeping these spaces well-maintained is essential for safety and aesthetics; zero-turn mowers are used for this purpose. As more commercial construction projects are initiated and completed, the need for reliable, high-performance zero-turn mowers in the post-construction maintenance phase can drive growth in this market.

Technological advancement in land mower equipment

Technological advancements have led to the development of more efficient, user-friendly, and environmentally friendly mowers. Modern zero-turn mowers are equipped with advanced, more fuel-efficient engines. These engines offer better performance and reduced emissions, complying with stricter environmental regulations. The market has seen the introduction of hybrid and electric zero-turn mowers. These models are quieter, produce zero emissions, and are increasingly popular in residential and commercial applications due to their eco-friendliness. Remote-controlled zero-turn mowers are used for complex or dangerous mowing tasks. Manufacturers have developed mobile apps that allow users to control and monitor their mowers from smartphones and tablets, providing greater convenience and efficiency. As technology evolves, the market will likely see further growth.

Market Restraining Factors

Stringent environmental regulations regarding zero turn mower

Stricter emissions standards, particularly for gas-powered engines, require manufacturers to invest in research and development to reduce emissions. This may involve developing cleaner-burning engines or transitioning to alternative fuels like propane. Achieving compliance with emissions standards can be costly. Manufacturers may need to invest substantially in technology and infrastructure to meet these requirements, affecting pricing and profit margins. As electric and alternative fuel options, such as propane or natural gas, become more popular due to their lower emissions, manufacturers must develop and promote these options to meet consumer demand and regulatory mandates. Manufacturers must assess market demand and adjust their product lines to meet these preferences. These factors pose a challenge for the market growth.

Cutting Width Outlook

On the basis of cutting width, the market is segmented into less than 50 inches, 50 to 60 inches, and more than 60 inches. In 2022, the more than 60 inch segment dominated the market with the maximum revenue share. Zero-turn mowers with cutting decks of more than 60 inches are typically considered large or commercial-grade models. These mowers are designed for more extensive and demanding applications, such as commercial landscaping, golf course maintenance, and large estate properties. Mowers with decks larger than commercial landscaping companies commonly use 60 inches. These machines are highly efficient and can cover vast areas quickly.

Application Outlook

Based on application, the market is fragmented into residential and commercial. The residential segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. The primary use of zero-turn mowers in residential settings is for lawn mowing. They are highly efficient and can quickly cover large grass areas, making them well-suited for maintaining sizable lawns. Zero-turn mowers excel at providing a precise and even cut. Their ability to make tight turns allows homeowners to easily navigate obstacles, trees, flower beds, and other landscaping features.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the market is analysed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the North America region registered the highest revenue share in the market. The increase in the number of landscaping activities and golf courses in the region is one of the primary factors contributing to the anticipated development. The North American landscaping and lawn care industry is highly developed, creating a substantial demand for efficient, high-quality grooming equipment. Professional landscapers, commercial property owners, and homeowners in North America strongly emphasize sustaining well-manicured lawns and landscapes. The market for zero turn mowers, known for their maneuverability and time-saving capabilities, aligns well with the industry's requirements.
