The global lawn and garden equipment market is poised for growth, primarily fueled by the expanding gardening and landscaping industry and the widespread adoption of advanced technology in this sector. The integration of smart gardening practices, facilitated by technologically advanced equipment, is identified as a key driver for the global lawn and garden equipment market.
One significant challenge in garden maintenance is the time-consuming task of mowing the lawn, especially in smaller garden spaces where traditional ride-on mowers may not be practical. To address this, robotic lawn mowers have emerged as a viable solution, freeing up operators' schedules to focus on other tasks. For example, in February 2019, Husqvarna Group introduced an AI-enabled robotic lawn mower designed for homeowners with intricate lawns and smart homes. Similarly, Robert Bosch GmbH launched the Indego M 700 and connected Indego M+ 700 robotic lawn mowers in February 2020, catering to lawn areas up to 700 square meters. While these robotic mowers may be relatively expensive, their environmental friendliness, reliance on electricity instead of fuel, and rain sensors contribute to their appeal.
Robotic lawn mowers, such as the Vitirover model, offer convenience by eliminating the need for intense manual labor, allowing operators to control the device effortlessly through their smartphones. Vitirover runs on solar power, eliminating the need for charging or power cords, making it an eco-friendly and low-maintenance option.
Furthermore, smart irrigation systems like Droplet are enhancing efficiency in watering plants. Droplet utilizes real-time data from thousands of weather stations, live forecasts, and seasonal weather data to determine when and how much to water specific parts of the garden. Setting up Droplet is quick and user-friendly, requiring just five minutes with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. This integration of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and automation technologies is transforming the gardening and landscaping sector, driving the demand for innovative lawn and garden equipment.
The global demand for gardening is currently moderate, but the impact of advancing technology is expected to elevate this demand from moderate to high in the forecast period. Factors contributing to this shift include increasing purchasing power, rising individual income, changing lifestyles, economic growth, and urbanization trends globally. As technology continues to revolutionize the gardening and landscaping industry, the demand for state-of-the-art lawn and garden equipment is likely to grow significantly in the foreseeable future.
