More garden care

The demand for motorised lawn and garden care equipment in the USA is expected to rise by 2.7 per cent each year until it reaches a total of US $ 9.7 bn in 2013. This emerges from a survey by Freedonia Industry Research, which identifies the residential market as the major source of sales (62 per cent) in 2008. Lawnmowers will continue to be the biggest product group in the future, and the market researchers also forecast that it will remain one of the most strongly growing areas up until 2013.
