DRIVING FACTORS


High Influx of Customers toward Smart and Organic Gardening is Providing New Growth Opportunities


The increased interest of customers in the use of organic products in gardening and subsequent emphasis on the use of smart tools to promote smart gardening operations might substantiate the sales of automated mowers globally. For instance, as per the data provided by GfK SE, in 2016, the applications of robotic lawn mowers operated and maneuverer using smartphones were estimated to be around 50% among the global market of automated lawn mowers. Additionally, strong performance of the key players in the developed countries within North America and Europe provides an evident growth and bolstering opportunities of automated products sales due to the ever-increasing range of target customer base in the market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Strong Presence of Gasoline Based Manual and Hand Push Reel Mowers Hampers the Demand from Commercial Sector


The ability of gasoline powered mowers to cover more landscape area due to non-restriction of the charging time as compared to its battery-operated counterparts makes them more practical and economical for applications on sprawling commercial turfs. The high power of these mowers and ability to perform better on the uneven terrains may hinder the sales opportunities of battery-operated robotic mowers during the forecast period. Although, this scenario might change over the coming years, as most of the robotic mower manufacturers are making heavy investments in research and development operations and are trying to come up with a better robotic mower solution.


SEGMENTATION


By Battery Capacity Analysis


20V to 30V Segment is Projected to Hold a Substantial Share Through the Forecast Period


By battery capacity, the market is further segmented into up to 20V, 20V to 30V, and more than 30V.


Due to heavy popularity of robotic mowers in small & medium-sized lawns, the 20V to 30V segment will govern a noteworthy share in the global market. Furthermore, this segment is expected to exhibit steadfast growth over the forecast period.


The majority of the manufacturers are engaged in manufacturing of automated mowers with a battery capacity of more than 20V and less than 30V. The wide range of product availability in mentioned category is the critical factor contributing towards effective market share within different geographies. The ability of 20V to 30V mowers to complete the automated landscape maintenance of small to medium lawns in a single charge is another standout feature helping the segment is anticipated to witness healthy growth in the market. Moreover, efforts towards development of novel, interconnected, and modern products by leading manufactures as per the requirements of the customers is attracting customers toward the product and spurring the development of the market.


However, development and innovation strategies implemented by numerous manufacturers are projecting an encouraging future for the more than 30V segment, which will be a segment to watch out for especially for application in commercial spaces.  


By Application Analysis

Residential Application is Projected to Retain its Dominance over its Counterpart During the Forecast Period


The market is divided into two types of applications: residential and commercial. Due to the growing interest of domestic customers in gardening and landscape care, the residential segment is likely to have a significant proportion of the market.


After the outbreak of COVID19, the length of time customers spend at home encouraged them to enjoy a longer gardening season and discover an interest in lawn care. The special attention paid by individual customers to the care of gardening tools and lawns has helped the private segment emerge as a pioneering application. The increasing proclivity of customers toward battery powered, silent, and automated lawn mower solutions to create a cost effective and efficient maintenance resource is pivoting the development of the market.


Increasing infrastructure development in the sub-urban areas of prominent cities especially in North America and Europe and efforts of homeowners in incorporating more greenery and lush lawns have increased the sale of robotic mowers dedicated for application in the residential sector.


By Sales Channel Analysis


Retail Store/Offline Segment to Emerge as a Better Performing Segment in the Market


By sales channel, the global market is classified into retail store/offline and online websites. The offline segment is estimated to hold a major share in the market owing to developed, and interconnected supply chain by distributors and retailers in the offline sector. However, reseller and dealers operating on online channels are garnering a considerable traction in multiple regional markets and can amass a noteworthy share over the forecast period. The significant popularity of online shopping platforms will help the segment in strengthening its sales footprints in the market and increasing its direct customer reach.


Many global brands manufacturing forestry and gardening products have deployed their exclusive retail outlets and also have a strong and dedicated retail service in the regional market, which make the offline segment still a preferred choice of most of the customers in the market. However, profound participation of regional manufacturers and increasing startups trying to bolster their presence through online platforms can create opportunities of growth for the online segment as well.
