The global lawn mower market share is relatively concentrated, with Husqvarna, Gardena (part of Husqvarna Group) and Baoshide's brands accounting for 90% of the market share as of January 2022.

Husqvarna alone sold 6$700 million in lawn mower robots, with plans to double lawn mower robot revenue to 13 by about 20260 billion dollars.

In the face of such a large market of lawn mowers and the general trend of robotic lawn mowers, other companies such as Nine Company, iRobot, Ecovacs, Chervon Holdings and other companies have also entered the game with the help of indoor sweeping robot technology. However, compared with indoor application scenarios, outdoor lawn application scenarios need to solve more problems such as obstacle avoidance, crawling on complex road sections, extreme weather applications, and anti-theft.
