The garden equipment sector faces a seasonal business demand starting in October each year. The success of the year depends very much on whether the climate conditions are favorable for the growth of plants and trees.

Due to the diversity of activities in the garden, turf and forestry sector, a wide range of tools and machines are needed. They are used by consumers and professionals and are sold through retail stores and dealers.

To give an idea of the quantity of equipment sold each year in Europe, we estimate that EGMF members sell more than 6 million lawnmowers, 4.5 million chainsaws, 3 million brushcutters and 3 million hedgetrimmers.
