Are Gasoline Self-Propelled Lawnmowers Losing Their Dominance?
The gasoline-powered self-propelled lawnmowers dominated the industry in 2021, accounting for a revenue share of 66.16% globally.
Gasoline-powered self-propelled lawnmowers have dominated the global lawn mower market for quite a long time due to their high power and better efficiency. These lawnmowers are more powerful, making them suitable for tall, thick, and dense grass, and they get the mowing job done in a shorter period than other mowers. Due to its robust design, gasoline-powered self-propelled lawnmowers are in demand and thus prove to be an excellent choice for tougher and more demanding work. They do not have to be charged and are not limited in range by a cord. However, it requires regular engine maintenance to maintain its brilliant performance and improve durability. Moreover, these are noisier than other lawnmowers but more powerful and can cut through long, tough grass nearly effortlessly.
Focus on Reducing Pollution Sweeping Away the Gasoline-powered Lawn mowers Demand
But, due to changing government regulations on pollution and discharge, gasoline-powered lawnmowers are losing their dominance today. Worldwide, governments are focusing on reducing pollution and carbon emissions to create a better eco-friendly environment. For instance, many cities in the US are planning to ban gasoline-powered lawn equipment owing to their policy shift towards eco-friendly equipment. Some cities in California and Colorado have already banned gasoline-powered leaf blowers and mowers in their respective areas. If such legislation goes ahead with significant cities banning gasoline-powered devices, the market for gasoline-powered self-propelled lawnmowers will face severe consequences in sales.
Battery Powered or Electric Cordless Self Propelled Lawn Mowers Demand Gaining Momentum
With rising concerns about the pollution made by gasoline-powered self-propelled lawnmowers, they are losing their dominance today. According to Arizton’s market report on global self-propelled lawnmowers market, battery-powered ones are expected to grow with the highest CAGR of 7.03% from 2022-2027 among gasoline, battery, electric, and propane.
Electric cordless or battery-powered self-propelled lawnmowers are gaining popularity due to their convenience over their counterparts. These lawn mowers enable hassle-free mowing without the discomfort of cables. Modern lithium-ion batteries are supporting the growth of these lawnmowers. Li-ion batteries are lighter than the traditional nickel-cadmium versions and last longer. Moreover, the rising usage of these batteries leads to better economies of scale, thereby reducing the cost of batteries and minimizing the cost of battery-powered self-propelled lawnmowers. Further, countries like the US, planning to ban gasoline-powered lawnmowers, are expected to boost demand for electric cordless self-propelled lawnmowers in states. Also, in California, where the government is taking various steps to minimize the carbon footprint, the same trend can be seen to be followed.
Also, after the battery-power self-propelled lawn mowers, the propane self-propelled lawn mowers are expected to witness significant growth as it is a common alternative, particularly in metro areas with higher air quality. Propane's benefits include reduced running costs, better engine life, and safer burning fuel, and therefore are more reliable because engines work longer, causing maintenance delays. Propane mowers are the latest development in the self-propelled lawn mower industry to encourage eco-friendliness with comparatively lower environmental effects. This green fuel is also projected to burn around 35% cleaner than gas on average. These oils are carbon-free, thereby running longer than gasoline-powered ones by more than 25%.
The planet is moving towards greener technology, and consumers are turning to renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse emissions and promote environmental health. Gardeners have recently become aware of the numerous advantages of electric lawnmowers over their gasoline-powered or conventional counterparts, adding to about 5% of urban atmospheric hydrocarbons. Air pollution contributes to more than four million deaths annually, half of which come from India and China's developing economies. Such instances have contributed to introducing strict requirements and legislation to reduce the adverse effects of pollution on the environment. Hence, due to such significant factors, one can see the downfall of gasoline-powered self-propelled lawnmowers and the rise and growth of other possible options like battery, propane, and corded-powered self-propelled lawnmowers in the coming days.
