South Korea Lawn Mower Market Overview, 2029

Lawn care in South Korea has become increasingly popular as urban dwellers seek to enhance their living environments with green spaces, reflecting a cultural appreciation for nature and outdoor aesthetics. With a climate that features distinct seasons, lawn maintenance requires careful attention to seasonal changes, soil health, and proper irrigation. Essential equipment for lawn care includes lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers, and aerators, each serving a specific purpose in maintaining a healthy lawn. Among these tools, the lawn mower is particularly important, as it is crucial for managing grass height and promoting vigorous growth. South Korean homeowners often opt for various types of lawn mowers, including electric, gas-powered, and robotic models, catering to different lawn sizes and personal preferences. Regular mowing not only ensures a neat appearance but also encourages denser grass growth, which helps suppress weeds and resist pests. Furthermore, a well-kept lawn contributes to improved air quality and provides a serene space for relaxation and recreation.

According to the research report "South Korea Lawn Mower Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the South Korea Lawn Mower market was valued at more than USD 0.43 Billion in 2023. The lawn mower market in South Korea is expected to experience notable growth in the coming years, fuelled by increasing urbanization and a rising interest in home gardening and landscaping. As urban dwellers seek to enhance their outdoor spaces amidst densely populated environments, the demand for lawn care equipment is on the rise. The South Korean government’s initiatives to promote green spaces and sustainable living further encourage homeowners to invest in gardening tools. Moreover, the growing trend of smart home technology is leading to a surge in interest for robotic and electric mowers, appealing to tech-savvy consumers who prioritize convenience and eco-friendliness. Additionally, the cultural shift towards leisure gardening, spurred by the pandemic, has heightened awareness of lawn maintenance.

The lawn mower market in South Korea is evolving rapidly, characterized by a diverse range of product types that cater to the unique preferences of consumers. Walk-behind mowers are particularly popular among homeowners, especially in suburban areas where gardens are becoming increasingly common. As South Koreans embrace outdoor living and gardening, the demand for walk-behind mowers has surged, allowing individuals to maintain their lawns easily and effectively. These mowers are favored for their maneuverability and efficiency, making them ideal for smaller residential spaces. Additionally, ride-on mowers are gaining traction among property owners with larger lawns or commercial landscapes. These mowers provide significant time savings and comfort, which are appealing to both residential users with expansive gardens and professional landscaping services that require efficient solutions for maintaining large areas. The introduction of robotic lawn mowers is also a noteworthy trend in South Korea, where technology adoption is high. These automated devices cater to tech-savvy consumers looking for convenience and efficiency in lawn care, allowing them to program mowing schedules and enjoy a perfectly manicured lawn with minimal effort.

In terms of end users, the South Korean lawn mower market is segmented into residential, professional landscaping services, golf courses, and government entities. The residential sector is experiencing notable growth, driven by a cultural shift towards home gardening and outdoor aesthetics. As urbanization continues to transform cities, many homeowners are seeking to create green spaces, prompting an increase in lawn care investments. Professional landscaping services are also on the rise, fuelled by the growing demand for well-maintained commercial properties, parks, and public spaces. As businesses and municipalities prioritize aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility, professional services are increasingly turning to advanced mowing equipment to enhance their offerings. Golf courses represent another essential segment, as maintaining a high-quality playing surface requires specialized mowers that deliver precision and reliability.

Covid-19 Impact:
The South Korea COVID-19 pandemic has created unparalleled challenges for the outdoor power equipment industry in the short-term. The South Korea supply chain of outdoor power equipment such as lawn mowers, finished goods, parts, and accessories has been facing disruptions since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Original equipment manufacturers depend on a complex South Korea supply chain, which is mostly dependent on China. Though outdoor power equipment manufacturers keep sufficient inventories of mowers and related accessories, and markets such as the US are witnessing stable demand for garden machinery, the overall impact of COVID-19 on the commercial lawn mower market remains negligible.
