Standard ride-on mowers held a significant market share in 2022 due to affordability and versatile applications. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0%. However, the lawn tractor segment is expected to have the fastest growth rate in the forecast period.

Gasoline-powered models currently lead in unit shipments, but battery-powered mowers will experience the highest growth. The shift to battery-powered mowers is driven by reduced noise levels, lower maintenance, and advancements in lithium-ion battery technology.

Hydrostatic transmissions dominate the market, but electric motors will grow faster. Hydrostatic transmissions offer smooth operation, durability, and responsiveness, while electric motors provide advantages in maneuvering challenging terrains.

In 2022, the hydrostatic segment accounted for 67.1% of revenue, but the electric motor segment will grow at a CAGR of 5.3%.

North America leads the ride-on mower market, with fuel expenses accounting for 9% of production costs for landscape professionals. Propane-powered mowers with Electronic Fuel Injection are expected to reduce fuel costs and enhance product offerings in this region.
