Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Overview

Lawn and garden consumables refer to the wide range of products used to curate and maintain gardens and lawn areas. A garden is typically defined as an outdoor space assigned from planned cultivation and display for flowers, plants, trees, and other natural forms. Gardens are meant for people to enjoy peaceful times surrounded by nature. Lawns, on the other hand, are similar to gardens in terms of dedicated cultivable land. However, lawns are covered with durable plants at shorter heights. Lawn mowers are used to maintain grass height which again is used for recreational purposes. Lawns & gardens can either be state-provided and for public access or private property belonging to specific individuals. For instance, smaller lawn areas outside residential properties belong to the tenant or people living in the facility while state or government-curated gardens can be accessed by everyone. The demand for lawn and garden consumables is growing rapidly due to the growing interest of people in landscaping but there are certain growth limitations as well that are blocking the lawn & consumables industry from reaching true potential.

Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Growth Drivers

Rising investments by local governments in curating public gardens & lawns to create market growth

The global lawn & garden consumables market is projected to grow owing to the increasing initiatives and projects undertaken by local governments and officials to construct, curate, and maintain gardens for public access. With the surging rate of urban cities filled with skyscrapers and buildings, there is a growing need for outdoor spaces filled with natural beauty such as flowers, plants, and trees for people to enjoy. Apart from improving the overall aesthetics of a location filled with concrete buildings, gardens rich in green plantations are known to contribute to air quality eventually impacting the quality of life for people and animals. Several governments and regulatory bodies have provisions in place that ensure a dedicated specific land area for developing gardens and lawns with free access to the public. For instance, in September 2023, Boston, USA witnessed the beginning of the Child Fountain Restoration Project. In September 2021, the Government of Malta announced that around €2 million was invested to redevelop Spencer Garden into a more sustainable public garden.

Changing lifestyles among the general population to push for higher revenue

In recent times, there has been a growing trend of more people willing to live in areas surrounded by nature. This has led to increased investments in developing personal properties into well-curated gardens of lawns. Several studies have indicated the benefits of being surrounded by greenery and flowers. The advantages range from psychological to health benefits including well-being. Rising awareness about the benefits and greater access to lawn & garden consumables could trigger higher growth during the forecast period.

Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Restraints

Limited space availability in densely populated areas to restrict market growth

The global lawn & garden consumables market growth will be restricted due to the limited availability of space especially in areas that are extremely densely populated. This restriction is two-fold. On one side, people living in smaller housing units do not have enough space for landscaping. This is especially to areas with buildings and fewer stand-alone homes. On the other side, people may not have enough space to accommodate lawn & garden consumables leading to limited use. Furthermore, safety concerns associated with keeping pesticides and insecticides in homes may also limit market expansion since they can be hazardous if consumed by humans or animals.

Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Opportunities

Rising penetration of online sales to create growth opportunities

The lawn & garden consumables industry is expected to benefit from the growing penetration of e-commerce platforms and online sales. Several brands offering these consumables are leveraging the offerings of digital purchase mode since online websites have larger consumer reach and better customer service. Additionally, buyers can choose from multiple options. For instance, Amazon, the world’s most famous e-commerce website, has more than 310 million registered users. In 2022, the company was worth USD 514 billion as per official reports.

Increasing demand for organic pesticides and fertilizers may create more growth avenues

There is a growing segment of consumers primarily using only organic lawn & garden consumables, especially pesticides and fertilizers. This also includes government-run gardens since chemical fertilizers can be harmful to people. In 2022, the organic fertilizer market was valued at USD 9.27 million and is growing at a rapid rate.

Surging investments in botanical gardens may lead to greater consumption

A botanical garden refers to a piece of land cultivated with living plants for the purpose of learning, scientific research, display, and education. Increasing investments in the development of new botanical gardens and improvement in existing gardens with the addition of more plants are projected to provide growth opportunities for the lawn & garden consumables industry players.

Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Challenges

Seasonal demand for consumables is a major challenge against growth

Lawn & garden consumables typically enjoy seasonal demand, especially in countries with high temperatures. During the winter season, garden areas and lawns are mostly covered in snow. Plants and flowers cannot survive in extremely low temperatures. The demand for these consumables is higher during the summer or spring season thus limiting the revenue streams in the off-season. Businesses operating in the sector must invest in the right financial choices to survive in the long run.

Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Segmentation

The global lawn & garden consumables market is segmented based on end-user, product, and region.

Based on end-user, the global market segments are commercial, industrial, and residential. In 2022, the highest growth was observed in the residential sector. The high segmental revenue is a result of increasing construction and curation projects in residential settings, especially by people living in standalone housing. Furthermore, most modern home builders dedicate specific areas in the building for gardens and lawns for the tenants to enjoy. In 2019, the residential sector dominated nearly 45.6% of the total share. The commercial segment could witness higher growth propelled by rising government initiatives.

Based on product, the lawn & garden consumables industry segments are pesticides, accessories, fertilizers, seeds, tools, irrigation supplies, and others. In 2022, the fertilizers segment was the leading revenue generator. Fertilizers help in supplying essential nutrients to the soil that in turn allows plants and flowers to grow. The increase in the number of organic fertilizer options has allowed the segment to continue dominating for multiple years. However, the segment for gardening accessories is growing rapidly with rising innovation in product design. As per research, lawn areas that are well-kept and cared for can last around 30 to 40 years.

Lawn & Garden Consumables Market: Regional Analysis

North America to witness the highest growth during the forecast period

The global lawn & garden consumables market is projected to register the highest growth in North America. The growth trend is a result of the increasing landscaping hobby undertaken by the population of the US and Canada regions. Most of the residential homes in these countries have allotted lawn areas that allow more people to invest in curating and developing a small garden for personal recreational purposes. A recent research indicated that nearly 55% of American homes have gardens. A crucial factor driving regional growth is the increasing work-from-home and remote working culture. It has allowed people to pursue their hobbies and gardening is a common hobby among the population. The rising number of lawn & garden consumables providers ranging from small facilities selling the products to large retail giants such as Walmart has helped in changing the regional growth trajectory.
