Mowers for lawns parks or sports grounds market in Finland

Earlier Report Observations

The market for lawn mowers in Finland showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2024. After a drop to 41 million US dollars in 2019, it recovered modestly in 2020 before reaching a high of nearly 60 million US dollars in 2021. A multi-year decline followed, bringing the market value down to 38.5 million US dollars by 2024.

Consumer preferences evolved significantly by 2023, with battery-powered mowers gaining popularity due to their environmental benefits and quiet operation. This shift was supported by a broader product range, including new self-propelled models with electric start and lightweight designs, which enhanced user convenience across different garden sizes and terrains.

A key regulatory change took effect in June 2024, mandating insurance for ride-on lawn mowers. This new requirement likely suppressed demand in that segment and contributed to the sharp market contraction observed that year. The launch of compact models like the Stiga Park 300 for smaller gardens exemplified the ongoing trend toward battery-powered and user-friendly equipment.
