Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/04/2015 -- Thai consumers do not prioritise gardening. People who live in suburban and rural areas usually have more living space and are closer to the natural environment than their counterparts in city centres. Urban dwellers are less likely to be close to nature as their home and work lives mean they are surrounded by buildings. Trees and green spaces are fading away from urban zones; therefore, consumers in these areas, including condominium dwellers, are turning to gardening in small spaces. The target audience for gardening is wide, ranging from low-income consumers who spend their free time working on their garden space to middle- and high-income consumers who can afford would pay landscapers and gardeners to tend to their green spaces.

Competitive Landscape

In 2013, Mitsubishi Corp is the top player in lawn mowers and gardening in Thailand in terms of retail value sales. However, gardening is highly fragmented and players are strong in different categories. Thai Central Chemical PCL is the leading player in garden care due to its strength in fertiliser, and growing media. Green Garden & Farm Co Ltd leads plant protection and pest control, while Siam Ag Marketing Co Ltd heads herbicides. Ikea Trading (Thailand) Co Ltd leads horticulture, which is particularly highly fragmented, and pots and planters. Makita Mfg (Thailand) Co Ltd holds the highest share of retail value sales in gardening power tools, while Teknor Apex Co leads watering.

Industry Prospects

Gardening is expected to post a 2% value CAGR at constant 2013 prices. Smaller and more limited living spaces, such as condominiums, reduce the opportunities for higher growth. The most lucrative areas for gardening players concern property developments and other large-scale areas that require garden care. Therefore, business/industry rather than household customers will drive gardening.
