Robot lawn mower is an outdoor wheeled mobile robot, with automatic mowing, cleaning grass clippings, automatic rain shelter, automatic walking, automatic obstacle avoidance, electronic virtual fence, automatic return charging, network control and other functions, suitable for lawn mowing and maintenance in family courtyards, public green spaces and other places. Compared with traditional lawn mowers, robot lawn mowers not only have the advantages of simple operation and high cutting efficiency, but also can automatically complete the mowing task, reduce labor costs and time costs, and also have the advantages of safety, no noise and high degree of intelligence, which has become the main development direction of the lawn mower industry.
In recent years, with the launch of more and more robotic lawn mowers around the world, the global robotic lawn mower market has shown a rapid increase trend, and both commercial and household markets have shown good application advantages. According to the "2021 Global and China Robotic Lawn Mower Industry In-depth Research Report" released by Xinsijie Industry Research Center, from 2015 to 2019, the global demand for robotic lawn mowers showed a rapid growth trend, with a growth rate of more than 17%. In 2019, the global demand for robotic lawn mowers reached 290,000 units. In 2020, the global outbreak of the COVID-19 accelerated the popularity of robotic lawn mowers, and the global demand for robotic lawn mowers still showed a rapid increase.
There are many buildings with lawns in European and American countries, and most European and American family courtyards have a certain area of lawns, and European and American countries pay more attention to the daily maintenance of lawns, and if the lawn is not properly maintained, it will be fined. Therefore, the demand for robot lawn mowers in Europe and the United States is large and mainly based on family needs. Among them, Europe is the world's largest demand market for robotic lawn mowers, accounting for nearly 50% of demand in 2019; North America is the second largest demand market for robotic lawn mowers, accounting for more than 25% of the demand.
Xinsijie industry researchers said that the global robot lawn mower industry has a short development time, a relatively low penetration rate, and a large market growth potential. In the future, the demand for robotic lawn mowers will further increase, and traditional lawn mowers will be gradually replaced in both commercial and household fields.
