The increasing urbanization, disposable income, and infrastructure activities coupled with rising demand for the landscaping services are the factors expected to augment growth of the outdoor power equipment market. Furthermore, growing awareness of environmental issues leads to increasing adoption of the outdoor power equipment using lithium-ion batteries, as they are environment friendly and maximize energy output. Several companies are focused on innovation in lithium-ion batteries. For instance, in 2021, Techtronic's Industries started using red lithium-ion batteries for its cordless power tools, as they work faster and deliver more than expected from the battery's life.

The gardening trend has increased rapidly, mainly among younger generations. Most young people are inclined toward growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs. As young people are more likely to live in smaller yard lots, the type of equipment, plant and tools they require should work in tighter spaces. The gardening and lawn industry is changing to adapt to various consumer requirements by launching equipment that is lighter in weight and makes work comfortable.

Furthermore, the growing popularity of home improvement projects bodes well for the growth of the outdoor power equipment and garden tools market during the forecast period. Companies such as The Toro Company, Husqvarna, ANDREAS STIHL AG Co. KG, and others gained profits from the stay-at-home trend due to the pandemic, which has extended the gardening season.

The pandemic in 2020 did cast a gloomy outlook on almost all industries, worldwide. The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted market growth during the initial few months of 2020. However, in later months, demand for various outdoor power equipment has witnessed strong growth with the resumption of operations in multiple industries. A considerable increase in the market for Do-it-yourself (DIY) equipment and do-it-for-me (DIFM) services in the commercial and residential segments are expected to drive market growth.

For instance, according to the Outdoor December forecast report in 2021, the commercial lawn mower grew by more than 15.0 % in 2020, with shipping of nearly 7.7 billion units. Furthermore, rising concern about the gasoline fumes and engine noise due to the COVID-19 has also increased the demand for energy-efficient outdoor power equipment.

Although the prospects look promising, the industry is still faced with several challenges regarding high maintenance costs. For accurate operations, one must inspect outdoor power equipment at various intervals. The factors to be reviewed regularly include inspecting cords, checking for damaged switches, sharpening, oiling, and other repairs needed for properly working of the equipment. Hence, the maintenance cost of outdoor power equipment is relatively high, which is expected to hamper the market’s growth.
