NEW YORK, April 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Power Lawn & Garden Equipment Market
http://www.reportlinker.com/p0118613/Power-Lawn--Garden-Equipment-Market.html
US demand to rise 6.4% annually through 2015
US demand for power lawn and garden equipment, including both residential and commercial markets, will increase 6.4 percent annually to $11 billion in 2015, rebounding from the industry declines experienced due to the recent recession. Overall growth in equipment sales will be promoted by an improvement in US housing activity, including new construction and existing single-family home sales, and by a return to growth in the landscaping services business. While equipment manufacturers will benefit from a strong rebound in US sales over the near term, longer-term growth will be more moderate due to slowing product pricing gains and declining opportunities in some key commercial markets, particularly golf courses.
Dominant residential market to rebound strongly
The residential market dominates power lawn and garden equipment demand, typically accounting for nearly three quarters of industry sales. This share fell through the recent recession because residential do-it-yourself consumers had the freedom to postpone equipment purchases. Through 2015, equipment sales to residential users will make a strong turnaround as US housing activity improves and homeowners return to greater discretionary spending. Sales to users of commercial equipment will see nearly double-digit growth through 2015 as revenues improve for landscaping firms, the largest commercial equipment market. Pent-up demand will also promote strong sales to golf courses and government and to other commercial facilities. Over the longer term, both golf courses and government agencies are expected to reduce their equipment spending on average due to lower operating budgets.
Turf & grounds equipment, garden tractors, rotary tillers to be fastest growing types
Equipment demand will pick up across nearly all the product segments, with the exception of parts and attachments, which generally post stronger gains when repair activity is high in contrast to new equipment demand. Through 2015, turf and grounds equipment and garden tractors and rotary tillers will be the fastest growing segments in value terms, owing largely to the high prices commanded by these products. In terms of power sources, electric lawn and garden equipment will continue to account for a greater share of industry sales as producers develop more effective battery technologies and introduce electric powered options into new equipment segments.
