The UK market for garden equipment covers hand and powered tools and equipment for use in the domestic garden.
April 14, 2007 (Press Release) --
Garden Equipment - Market Report
The UK market for garden equipment covers hand and powered tools and equipment for use in the domestic garden. It is divided into four broad sectors: lawnmowers, powered tools and equipment, water management equipment and hand tools. Key Note estimates that the market was worth £518m in 2003, equivalent to just over 1% of total consumer spending on all gardening equipment and supplies. It has shown strong growth over the review period (1999 to 2003), increasing in value by 21%.
A number of factors have supported this expansion. The plethora of gardening shows on television during the past decade has been a key factor driving growth in all garden products, with the new generation of garden makeover programmes proving to be a boon to the garden equipment industry. Inviting viewers to regard their gardens as rooms to be 'furnished' with plants and features, has served to increase awareness of and demand for equipment to aid the process. Other factors contributing to the market's growth have been the ageing of the population (since older people tend to be keener gardeners than the young), the increasing number of households, rising levels of disposable income and increased leisure time.
Nevertheless, the weather in the UK continues to exert a critical influence on demand, affecting the performance of individual sectors and the overall market. A cold and wet spring tends to have a dampening effect on sales, while a burst of sustained good weather in April and May will generally draw people along to their local garden centres. A long, dry spell can depress sales of lawnmowers, but will boost sales of watering equipment. The long, dry summer of 2003 certainly boosted overall sales in this market. Conversely, the poor weather that much of the UK experienced during the spring and summer of 2004 depressed sales of most types of garden equipment, lawnmowers proving to be a key exception.
