The increasing popularity of sports and recreational activities is expected to drive the growth of the commercial walk-behind mower market moving forward. Sports and recreational activities include physical or leisure pursuits engaged in for enjoyment, relaxation, fitness, or competition, such as playing games, exercising, or participating in organized sports. This growing popularity is largely due to heightened health awareness, as more people understand the benefits of physical fitness, mental well-being, and an active lifestyle in preventing chronic illnesses. Commercial walk-behind mowers contribute by maintaining well-kept, safe, and visually appealing outdoor areas such as parks, sports fields, and recreational grounds. For example, in February 2025, the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, a US-based non-profit, reported that pickleball drew 19.8 million participants in the United States in 2024 - a 45.8% increase from 2023 and an impressive 311% growth over the last three years. Therefore, the rising popularity of sports and recreational activities is fueling the expansion of the commercial walk-behind mower market.

The growth of green spaces in urban areas is expected to drive the expansion of the commercial walk-behind mower market moving forward. Urban green spaces include natural or landscaped areas such as parks, gardens, green roofs, and tree-lined streets that offer environmental, recreational, and health benefits within cities. This growth is mainly driven by rising awareness of environmental sustainability, public health advantages, and the urgency to address urban pollution and climate change. Commercial walk-behind mowers aid in maintaining lawns and parks efficiently, thereby improving the environmental quality and visual appeal of urban areas. For example, in 2025, the American Society of Civil Engineers, a US-based professional organization, reported that the 100 largest U.S. cities allocated $9.7 billion to their parks in 2022, with that investment rising to $11.2 billion by 2023, adjusted for inflation. Thus, the expansion of urban green spaces is fueling the commercial walk-behind mower market growth.

Major companies operating in the commercial walk-behind mowers market are focusing on integrating electrification solutions such as battery-powered electric motor systems to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and lower maintenance requirements. Battery-powered electric motor systems utilize rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to drive brushless motors that replace traditional gasoline engines, offering benefits such as quiet operation, zero-emissions mowing, and consistent, long-lasting torque delivery. For example, in October 2024, Honda Motor Co. Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, launched its HRX, HRN, and HRC battery-powered walk-behind lawn mowers. These models feature a new electric motor system designed to deliver professional-level cutting performance and user convenience, including a microcut twin-blade system for precise mulching and bagging, a self-propelled variable-speed drive for enhanced maneuverability, and dual-battery options for extended runtime. The series improves operational efficiency, reduces noise and environmental impact, and ensures high-quality cutting results with simplified maintenance.
