Garden Tiller Market: Dynamics

The growing penetration of IoT in the commercial and residential sector is expected to affect next-gen tiller

Currently, the global garden tiller market is undergoing several technological transformations. New opportunities and trends such as the growth of cordless tiller, the emergence of robotic tiller, and the rise in the landscaping industry are offering new opportunities to market vendors. The adoption of tiller in several end-user industries such as commercial, and residential is driving the global garden tiller market. Further, the implementation of stringent emission regulations by government agencies worldwide to tackle increasing pollution levels is influencing the growth of green covers, thereby positively impacting the global garden tiller market. Further, the increase in the green cover in urban areas, stability in the economic landscape, the penetration of Internet of Things (IoT), and the increased consumer interest toward gardening across the world are the factors directly influencing the market. 

Landscaping services are witnessing an increasing demand from the corporate, institutional, and residential sectors due to the healthy growth of the construction industry. The expansion of planting areas, lawn replacements, and designing and building a new landscape is influencing the adoption of high capacity products in the global garden tiller market. 

According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), more than 400,000 patients seek medical help for outdoor garden-tool-related accidents annually. Therefore, to overcome the issue, manufacturers have introduced robotic tiller in the market. They are used for mixing soil and weeding and can hoe the plot without any supervision. Robotic tiller run on electricity, hence they save a lot of fuel and energy. 

Nowadays, vendors are trying to meet the consumer’s need by providing technically high-quality products. They are integrating smart digital assistance that is capable to detect, analyze, and execute instructions according to the surrounding environment. Also, the emergence of voice-activated control systems has further added an impetus to market growth. For instance, the introduction of Tertill, a solar powered and weatherproof tiller, demonstrates the shift toward smart connected tiller. The global garden tiller market is likely to reach around $1.5 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of approximately 5% during 2018–2024.
