The increasing construction of commercial and residential properties worldwide is driving the demand for landscaping tools and services.

Growth in construction and repair & replacement activities

The global construction industry has been witnessing steady growth over the past few years and this momentum is expected to continue going forward. Rising population levels, increasing urbanization, higher infrastructure spending by various governments, and growth in commercial and residential construction projects are some of the major factors fueling demand for construction activities worldwide. The repair and renovation market are also growing at a healthy pace supported by the aging infrastructure in developed nations and the increasing disposable incomes that are allowing homeowners to invest more in home improvement projects.

All these construction and repair/replacement activities create a huge demand for various landscaping tools. Whether it is a large commercial construction of a shopping mall, apartment complex or an office building, or remodeling an existing home or a small renovation project, landscaping plays an important role in the overall design and aesthetics. Professional landscaping contractors and gardeners require a wide range of tools from lawnmowers, hedge trimmers to shovel and wheelbarrows to efficiently manage the surrounding landscaping for any construction project. Additionally, growing environmental concerns have also increased focus on using native plants, trees, and shrubs in construction landscaping, thereby driving tool requirements.

Similarly, the repair and remodeling market is a key source of steady demand for landscaping tools. As properties age, homeowners and contractors undertake repair works that often involve overhaul of the existing landscape layout, planting new bushes/trees, repairing walkways or patios. This stimulates demand for a variety of tools from pruners, loppers to saws. Majority of homeowners also prefer to conduct routine backyard maintenance work themselves which keeps the recurring demand healthy for small engine powered landscaping tools. Additionally, better quality durable tools also encourage replacement/upgrade purchases over time. With construction and repair/remodeling activities projected to continue its momentum in the coming years, it will keep supporting demand for landscaping tools globally.

Rising interest in gardening and landscaping among home owners

In today's stressful urban lifestyle, more and more homeowners are finding gardening and landscaping as a means to relief stress and also elevate the aesthetics of their living space. What was once just considered a chore, landscaping is today emerging as a serious hobby and interest for many home owners. The growing availability of information on gardening and landscaping through various digital media platforms has also raised awareness about the benefits of green landscaping.

This rising passion for gardening is driving steady sales of both hand tools such as pruners, shovels, yard rakes as well as powered equipment including lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and leaf blowers. Homeowners with large yards and gardens now view landscaping equipment not just as tools but as necessary household appliances to efficiently maintain their outdoor spaces. The convenience and ease of modern landscaping tools have made yard work much less daunting for amateur gardeners. Meanwhile, the health and stress relief benefits of working outdoors in one's garden are also attracting more participants.

Growing environmental consciousness is another key factor triggering interest in landscaping for a beautiful, green outdoor space. Homeowners now prefer using native plant species, establishing vegetable gardens, creating wildlife habitats using landscaping. This trend necessitates tools for tasks like demolition, soil preparation, hedge shaping, leaf cleanup etc. Garden centers and online retailers capitalize on this enthusiasm by offering wide products tailored for every budget and skill level. Tools specifically marketed for women gardeners are also gaining popularity.

While the COVID-19 pandemic had initially paused some construction projects, the lockdowns ironically accelerated interest in home gardening and landscaping as well. Those who pursued this hobby are likely to continue keeping their gardens/yards maintained in the future, buttressing recurring sales of landscaping equipment.
