Riding mowers are a type of lawnmower on which the operator can sit while mowing, as opposed to manually pushed or towed mowers. Riding mowers are equipped with a horizontally rotating blade system, often featuring multiple blades. It's important to note that only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are considered in this context.
The primary categories of riding mowers include rear-engine riding mowers, tractors (including lawn and garden tractors), and zero-turning radius (ZTR) mowers. Rear-engine riding mowers are self-propelled vehicles designed for cutting grass in lawns. Approximately half of rear-engine riding mowers are used for lawns ranging in size from 1/2 to 1 acre. Riding mowers can be powered by various fuel types, including gas, propane, electric (both cordless/battery-powered and corded electric). These mowers find applications in both residential and commercial settings for lawn maintenance.

The riding mowers market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $10.67 billion in 2023 to $11.08 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including consumer demand for convenient lawn care solutions, evolving landscaping trends that prioritize well-manicured lawns, the influence of an aging population in need of efficient lawn maintenance, and urbanization, which has increased the demand for riding mowers in residential and commercial settings.
The riding mowers market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including heightened environmental concerns that favor eco-friendly lawn care options, trends in homeownership that drive the demand for efficient lawn maintenance equipment, and economic factors that influence the choices of consumers in lawn care solutions. Prominent trends in this forecast period encompass the adoption of electric and battery-powered mowers for sustainable lawn care, the development of smart and connected mower technologies, the demand for customization and accessories to meet specific needs, and the availability of weather-resistant and all-season models to address various weather conditions.
The riding mowers market is being driven by the increasing interest in lawn care and gardening activities, especially in large garden areas in public places, schools, and recreational spaces. Riding mowers offer a more efficient and user-friendly solution for mowing extensive areas compared to push lawnmowers. The surge in lawn care and gardening is attributed to various reasons, including hobbies, a sense of accomplishment, stress reduction, and access to fresh produce. According to a July 2021 survey by ScottsMiracle-Gro, over 67% of American adults were engaged in gardening or lawn care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, an Office for National Statistics survey indicated that about 45% of Britons turned to gardening as a coping mechanism during lockdown. With the increased focus on lawn care and gardening activities, the demand for mowers, particularly riding mowers, is on the rise, as they contribute to the overall aesthetics of the property.
The continuous growth in garden-related activities is expected to be a driving force behind the riding mowers market. Garden activities encompass a wide range of tasks involved in nurturing and maintaining outdoor plants in spaces like gardens and yards. Riding mowers play a vital role in simplifying the process of cutting and maintaining large lawns and gardens, making it more efficient and less labor-intensive for substantial garden areas. For instance, as per the National Gardening Association's 2023 Highlights, households in the United States spent an average of $616 on lawn and gardening activities in 2022, representing an 80% participation rate and a $74 increase from 2021. This trend highlights the growing interest in garden-related activities, which will undoubtedly fuel the demand for riding mowers.
The adoption of artificial turf for both sports and residential lawns is expected to present a challenge to the riding mowers market during the forecast period. Artificial turf has gained popularity, especially in regions prone to drought, where maintaining natural lawns can be costly. For example, in Iceland, there are 154 football pitches with artificial turf, surpassing the 148 outdoor natural grass pitches. The use of synthetic grass in indoor and outdoor spaces is impacting the riding mowers market negatively, as artificial turf requires different maintenance compared to natural lawns.
The riding mowers market is witnessing the introduction of technologically advanced lawn mowers, including robotic lawnmowers, which are gaining popularity. Robotic lawnmowers are known for their durability and high operational efficiency. For instance, in May 2022, Mammotion, a China-based provider of innovative electric robotics tools, launched LUBA, a perimeter wire-free robot lawnmower designed for residential use. LUBA eliminates the need for traditional gas-powered push mowers and ride-on mowers, as well as the currently available robot mowers that rely on perimeter cables. This innovative technology is poised to revolutionize the future of lawn care maintenance.
