Adoption of Sustainable Products
Growing awareness related to global warming and fuel emissions is considerably leading to the adoption of more eco-friendly products in the leaf blower market. Adopting sustainable ways to reduce the environmental impact and thereby lower CO2 emissions is prominently gaining importance worldwide. Few leaf blowers, such as gas-powered equipment, emit toxic emissions, affecting air quality, and these products also cause noise pollution; manufacturers and & landscape professionals are expected to shift their preferences to eco-friendly equipment or garden care tools to avoid such circumstances.
Also, the key players are focusing on technologically advanced features such as the comfort of use, easy start mechanism, and lighter weight. The backpack blowers are designed to emit less noise, increasing their usage in residential areas. With features such as X-Torq, the equipment or tools are expected to deliver lesser fuel consumption, with reduced exhaust emission levels according to government regulatory standards.
Rise in Landscaping Services
The popularity of gardening and landscaping services has increased worldwide, aiming to provide an aesthetic appeal to commercial and residential lawns and gardens. Leaf blowers are used to maintain commercial and residential gardens and landscaping equipment. Customers increasingly outsource landscaping services to maintain corporate, institutional, and residential areas. They are expanding their planting areas, replacing lawns, and designing and building new landscape areas.
The demand for yard and lawn care services continues to increase from the non-commercial end-user segment. Consequently, the increasing landscaping services are expected to boost the leaf blower market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the trend toward sustainable and eco-friendly landscaping may drive demand for electric or battery-powered leaf blowers, opening market innovation opportunities.
Health Hazards Caused by Leaf Blowers
The leaf blowers are expected to pose numerous hazardous health problems to workers. These hazards vary from mild to serious. The noise emitted by the leaf blowers is expected to be irritating owing to a lack of control by the user, high pitch, and changing amplitude. Leaf blowers, particularly the gas-powered variant, are significant sources of ground-level pollution and high-level noise, leading to auditory damage.
The noise emitted by the leaf blowers has a frequency bandwidth that is very disturbing for professionals using them. An average leaf blower emits nearly 70 to 75 dBA at approximately 50 ft. The noise emitted by the leaf blowers is dangerous to human ears and could sometimes lead to permanent hearing loss. The leaf blowers are expected to worsen the conditions in the cases of asthma and allergies, thereby irritating the lungs.
INSIGHTS BY PRODUCT
By product, the handheld leaf blower segment dominates the global market. Handheld leaf blowers are the lightest, most powerful, and most economical. These types of leaf blowers are preferred for household cleaning-up purposes. The handheld leaf blowers offer a range of features, such as easy pull starters, mulching capacity, and variable speed control. These features allow for less messy and convenient disposal of a pile of leaves, thereby increasing its usage among professionals.
The lightweight feature makes it easier for individuals to walk around and blow away the leaves easily and conveniently. Additionally, these can comfortably cut off or shut off without the need to unstrap the entire machine. With the increasing technological advancements and innovations, electric hand-held leaf blowers are expected to witness a significant demand rise, competing with gas-powered models.

INSIGHTS BY POWER SOURCE
The gas-powered segment holds the largest segmental market share in 2023. The gas leaf blowers are powered by a combination of gasoline and oil and are preferred for applications where larger cleaning jobs are required, with more power to do the work. The high power and better efficiency drive the demand for these leaf blowers in the market. One of the newer developments in gas-powered leaf blowers is using four-stroke engines that are usually lighter in weight and more powerful.
However, these models are costlier than their two-stroke counterparts. Furthermore, electric alternatives are expected to capture the market share of gas-powered leaf blowers in the coming years, owing to their health and environmental hazards, thereby hampering the segmental market growth during the forecast period. Electric leaf blowers are easier to start than their gas counterparts and are lighter in weight, encouraging more people to use them.

The growing population migration to developed cities drives the construction of more housing units with better infrastructure and green acreage.
The demand for garden parties and cookouts is growing significantly, boosting the demand for backyard beautification and landscaping in the residential sector. Furthermore, leaf bowers have witnessed high penetration in household applications in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Many vendors have been offering tailor-made products suited for these regions. Moreover, growth in urbanization is leading to the expansion of residential units, thereby leading to the rising demand for leaf blowers in the industry.

INSIGHTS BY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
The offline distribution channel holds the most significant share of the global leaf blower market in 2023. Factors such as broader reach in areas that lack better connectivity and high consumer trust associated with personally experiencing the quality of products drive the growth of the offline segment.
Since leaf blowers involve high costs, the preference for the offline channel is high to minimize the risk of receiving damaged products. The entry of traditional garden equipment manufacturers into the leaf blower market has increased the sales of leaf blowers through retail stores such as specialty stores and supermarkets worldwide. Although the number of these devices sold online is rising, a significant share of leaf blower distribution occurs through specialty stores. Leaf blower producers harness specialty stores and supermarkets due to the availability of personalized customer services.
