Handheld Blower Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Power Source (Electric (Corded Electric and Battery-Powered) and Gas-Powered), By Application (Residential and Commercial), By Distribution Channel (Online and Offline), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A handheld blower is a gas- or electric-powered portable and lightweight tool that is designed to generate a powerful stream of air for various maintenance and cleaning purposes. It is often used by homeowners and professional landscapers for gardening and landscaping and cleaning debris leaves, grass clippings, dirt, and dust. Handheld blowers are more maneuverable and are highly suitable for smaller yards or areas with limited spaces. However, they are less powerful than backpack models and their ease of use and accessibility make them a valuable tool for quick cleanups.

Rising urbanization and landscaping activities, increasing demand for efficient tools, and rapid technological advancements are expected to drive the handheld blowers market growth. According to the National Gardening Association’s 2023 National Gardening Survey report, the American households’ participation in lawn and gardening remained elevated in 2022 accounting for nearly 80% of households. The expenditure on lawn and gardening activities in the U.S. was USD 616 per household in 2022, an increase of USD 74 per household from 2021. Furthermore, according to a recent CivicScience survey conducted in June 2024, nearly 44% of surveyed American homeowners who have lawns or gardens noted that they are planning gardening or lawn projects in the next three months. Homeowners are increasingly spending on landscaping to improve property aesthetics and value. Handheld blowers help in maintaining tidy lawns and gardens, augmenting their demand in the residential sector.

In addition, rapid urbanization across the globe is another major factor driving the market growth. Around 57% of the world’s population lived in urban areas in 2022. The rapid expansion of urban areas increases the need for maintaining parks, green spaces, and residential gardens. Handheld blowers are essential tools for the efficient management of these areas.

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a negative impact on the market due to acute supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in commercial demand, and economic uncertainty. Stringent lockdown measures imposed by governments to limit the spread of the virus led to the temporary closure of manufacturing facilities, resulting in slow production or delayed production.
