Market Introduction

Electric string trimmers, also known as electric weed trimmers or cordless grass trimmers, are handheld garden tools designed for cutting grass, small weeds, and groundcover, as well as trimming edges and light foliage. These trimmers are powered by electricity and come in two primary types: corded and cordless. Corded trimmers are generally cheaper, while cordless trimmers, which operate on rechargeable batteries, are gaining popularity due to their ease of maneuverability and versatility.

Drivers of Market Growth

1. Rise in Adoption of Eco-friendly Gardening Tools

The increasing popularity of eco-friendly gardening tools is a significant driver for the electric string trimmers market. As awareness of environmental sustainability grows, both individual and commercial gardeners are seeking tools that reduce carbon emissions. Conventional gas-powered string trimmers emit greenhouse gases, contributing to environmental pollution. In contrast, electric string trimmers offer a cleaner alternative, aligning with sustainable gardening practices that prioritize environmental protection and resource efficiency.

Gardening has also become a popular stress-relief activity, particularly in urban community gardens. The COVID-19 pandemic further boosted interest in gardening as people spent more time at home and sought ways to supplement their food supplies. This surge in gardening activities has consequently driven demand for electric string trimmers.

2. Increase in Use of High-performance Rechargeable Batteries

The market is also propelled by advancements in rechargeable battery technology. Cordless electric string trimmers, powered by batteries such as lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium (NiCd), offer users greater flexibility and ease of use. Lithium-ion batteries, particularly those with higher voltages (36V or more for home gardening and 72V or more for heavy-duty tasks), provide longer runtimes and better performance.

However, the limited power of these batteries compared to gas-powered trimmers and the need for frequent recharging are challenges that the industry is addressing. Leading manufacturers are investing in the development of high-performance rechargeable batteries to enhance the efficiency and runtime of cordless models. For instance, Ego Power+ offers outdoor power equipment powered by interchangeable 56-volt ARC lithium batteries, ranging from 2.5Ah to 12Ah, catering to various gardening needs.

Regional Outlook

North America: Leading the Market

North America held the largest share of the electric string trimmers market in 2023, a trend expected to continue through 2034. The region's dominance is attributed to the high expenditure on gardening and lawn care services. In the U.S., one of the top three gardening countries, 55% of households have a garden, with an average garden size of 600 sq. ft. producing approximately US$ 600 worth of food annually. This high frequency of gardening activities fuels demand for electric string trimmers.

Asia Pacific: A Growing Market

Asia Pacific is also witnessing significant market growth, driven by countries like Australia and China, which rank among the top three gardening nations. In Australia, environmental concerns are spurring plant sales, which grew by 8% in 2022. The region's increasing focus on climate change and sustainable gardening practices further boosts the adoption of electric string trimmers.
