Outdoor Power Equipment Market Expected to Reach $41.1 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Outdoor Power Equipment Market," The outdoor power equipment market size was valued at $24.4 billion in 2021, and outdoor power equipment industry is estimated to reach $41.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2031.

Outdoor power equipment uses compact engines or small motors for functioning. If the equipment is used specifically for outdoor services, then it is referred to as outdoor power equipment. The outdoor power equipment generally includes, brush cutters, edgers, chain saws, power rakes, and more.

The market is being driven by rise in usage of battery-powered outdoor power equipment for lawn maintenance and gardening activities. Rise in demand for landscaping services and rise in interest among homeowners in gardening activities are likely to boost the sales of outdoor power equipment during the forecast period. The globe is progressing toward more environmentally friendly technologies. People are shifting to greener energy sources to minimize carbon emissions and improve environmental safety. However, gardeners have recently become aware of the different advantages of electric lawnmowers over conventional equivalents or gas-powered equipment, which generate nearly 5-6% of total hydrocarbons in the atmosphere in metropolitan areas.

The market for outdoor power equipment is mature, and its growth is mostly influenced by variables, such as population and age distribution, consumer spending, housing and other constructions, location, and recreational and leisure activities. The presence of above mentioned initiatives and applications is expected to provide ample opportunities for the development of the market.

Robotics and battery technology are set to play a significant role in the future of this industry. The operational costs of battery-powered (for instance, cleaner) equipment are cheaper than those of natural gas-powered devices. Moreover, battery-powered equipment is expected to promote sales of big equipment, such as lawnmowers in both, commercial and domestic sectors. With their lower prices, simplicity of use, and technical advancements, robotic lawnmowers are expected to become more popular in the future years.

COVID-19 Analysis:

• COVID-19 has severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments, and infrastructure companies. The novel coronavirus has affected several economies and caused lockdown in many countries, which has limited the growth of the market. The shutdown of industrial manufacturing led to the decline in demand for gas related equipment in most of the countries globally, which led to decline in demand for outdoor power equipment. The decrease in utilization of power in the industrial facilities across the globe during the outbreak has a negative impact on the development of the market.
• In the post-pandemic period, a surge in demand for outdoor power equipment has been witnessed with the resumption of operations in various industries. The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted the value chain of the outdoor power equipment market; however, there has been a consistent revival of the value chain, leading to steady market growth. The U.S., China, and Germany accounted for significant shares of the market in 2021. Considerable increase in demand for maintenance of public and private spaces from commercial and residential/DIY application segments is driving the market growth in the post-pandemic period.
