Stump Cutter/Grinder Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The stump cutter/grinder market was valued at US$844.866 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.82% during the forecast period

The stump cutter/grinder market is anticipated to rise at a steady pace during the projected period. An outdoor power instrument or tool accessory called a stump grinder eliminates tree stumps by chipping away the wood with a rotating cutting disc. Stump grinders come in both lawnmower and truck sizes. A typical stump cutter/grinder's cutter wheel features fixed carbide teeth.

Using a stump grinder, the stump, and tree roots are ground into tiny pieces. It is possible to buy stump grinders as stand-alone pieces of equipment or as forestry or agricultural equipment additions. Global demand for stump grinders is rising due to increased forestry investment by government organizations and the stump cutter/grinder market growth of the wood sector.

Rising government initiatives will drive market growth

To combat escalating environmental problems, governments are putting a range of afforestation preventive techniques into practice. For instance, the Indian government has established a National Afforestation Programme to carry out plantation and afforestation projects in forested regions. Since they offer a major benefit in afforestation, such approaches have an indirect but advantageous effect on the stump cutter/grinder market share. Old trees must be removed to make room for the planting of new trees. Therefore, it is anticipated that increased stump cutters and grinders market size would arise from their usage in forested regions for fresh tree cutting or forest plantation for infrastructural purposes.

Growth drivers for the stump cutter/grinder market

The pace of deforestation is rising as the demand for wood-based goods for various industrial and domestic uses rises. When trees are taken down, the stumps left behind provide an issue for further land management. As a result, quick ground clearing becomes essential, increasing the need for a stump cutter/grinder. Another important element driving the stump cutter/grinder market expansion is the growing use of mulch to enhance the visual appeal of landscapes.

Increasing environmental concerns are resulting in governmental measures for market growth

To help them manage growing environmental concerns, governments are pursuing a variety of afforestation prevention methods. It is necessary to clean the area before planting new trees when older trees are taken down. As a consequence, it is projected that the use of stump cutters and grinders in forested regions for new tree clearing or the planting of forests for infrastructural objectives would lead to a rise in stump cutter and grinder market size.

The growing interest in gardening

People are spending more money on their houses' and gardens' development as globalization increases. They are investing more of their money in natural materials that will preserve and beautify their landscapes. In these situations, hand stump cutters/grinders are essential for cleaning the land without causing any soil imbalance and generating significant stump cutter/grinder market growth.

Increased production of forestry products

Approximately 5% of the world's forests are found in the European Union. The European Union's wooded area is progressively expanding. In addition to their biological importance, forests play a significant role in the landscape of Europe, and they are valuable for certain non-commercial purposes like enjoyment since they are also an economic resource. The rising need for wood cutting as a consequence of the increased wood output and the increased presence of several small and medium-sized businesses that are very active in the sector is what further drives the expansion of the stump cutter/grinder market.

Europe to hold a significant market share in the market

During the projected period, Europe is expected to have the highest growth in the stump cutter/grinder market due to the region's increased penetration of innovative technology and rising adherence to Western culture. The European Union's wooded area is gradually growing. Forests are a valuable resource for the economy in addition to their ecological significance, relevance as a component of the European environment, and value for certain non-economic purposes like enjoyment. As a result, the region's stump cutters and grinders market is positively impacted by the increasing wood output and the expanded presence of several small- and medium-sized businesses that are quite active in the sector.

Key players focusing on eco-friendly products

Morbark, LLC unveiled the RG165T-R Stump Cutter for customers who wanted to swiftly remove large stumps. Vermeer similarly launched the new Vermeer cutting system (VCS) to address several concerns with the traditional stump-cutting technology. Such innovations by well-established market actors should be followed by new businesses. and prioritize the introduction of new stump grinder models to boost their worldwide industry share. This is projected to expand the stump cutter/ grinder market share.

Cost-effectiveness and manufacturing viability will create doors for new players to enter the industry, spurring strong growth in power equipment. Market contenders should invest in R&D to provide eco-friendly goods with a low carbon footprint.
