“Smart Automation and Battery Advancements Fueling Product Innovation”
- A key emerging trend in the global cordless garden equipment market is the growing adoption of smart automation and advanced battery technologies to deliver enhanced performance, convenience, and sustainability. Manufacturers are integrating intelligent sensors and IoT connectivity into cordless tools, enabling users to automate tasks, monitor tool usage, and optimize energy consumption
- For instance, in March 2024, Husqvarna unveiled its latest AI-powered robotic lawn mowers capable of GPS-assisted navigation, auto-scheduling, and adaptive cutting based on grass height and density. These tools also integrate with smartphone apps for remote control and scheduling
- Moreover, battery innovations—such as the adoption of lithium-ion cells, fast-charging modules, and swappable battery packs—are improving runtime and durability, making cordless tools increasingly competitive with gas-powered alternatives. Tools such as Makita’s XGT line and DeWalt’s FlexVolt series offer high power output suitable for heavy-duty landscaping applications
- Another trend is the convergence with smart home platforms, where tools can be synced with digital ecosystems such as Google Home or Apple HomeKit for real-time updates or predictive maintenance reminders
- This shift toward intelligent, eco-friendly, and user-centric gardening tools is driving consumer expectations higher, prompting leading brands to focus on ergonomic designs, noise reduction, and wireless interconnectivity
- As a result, cordless garden equipment is transforming from simple outdoor tools into smart, sustainable landscaping solutions, appealing to both homeowners and professional landscapers looking for cleaner, quieter, and smarter equipment
