Landscaping Services in Germany industry analysis

Over the past five years, the gardening and landscaping sector has seen positive development and average annual growth of 1.5%. This is due to the influence of various factors, in particular the increasing demand for natural and ecologically designed areas and spaces in cities. In addition, private households have invested more money in beautifying their own gardens, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic, as they are increasingly being used as a place to relax and go on holiday. However, the poor economic conditions in Germany are likely to have a negative impact on industry sales in the current year. This is expected to fall by 4.1% compared to the previous year to 18.6 billion euros.In the current year, the industry is likely to be negatively affected by various developments. Persistently high material prices are having a negative impact on the ability of private households to utilise the industry's services. In addition, the weak construction sector is likely to limit the number of orders placed by these commercial customers. Rising investment by public budgets, which is increasingly being channelled into greening cities due to growing environmental awareness and the degree of urbanisation, is likely to have a positive effect. The consequences of climate change are becoming ever more noticeable, with the result that more and more funding is being made available for the climate-friendly remodelling of cities. This will benefit players in the sector when it comes to creating and maintaining parks and green spaces.Strong industry growth is expected to continue over the next five years. According to IBISWorld forecasts, sales will increase by an average of 3.9% per year, reaching €22.5 billion in 2029. Demographic change harbours sales potential for the industry. For example, the creation of barrier-free gardens is likely to gain in importance. The increasing importance of combating the consequences of climate change will create more opportunities for the gardening and landscaping industry to win public contracts for the creation or maintenance of parks and green spaces in the future. However, strong competition poses challenges for industry players. Not only is internal competitive pressure likely to increase as a result of new companies entering the market, but players from outside the industry, such as road construction companies, could also increasingly seek contracts in the gardening and landscaping sector.

Trends and Insights

  • Private households have been the industry's growth driver in recent years. Increasing environmental awareness and the rise in home ownership have led to high demand for gardening and landscaping services.
  • The industry's highest-selling segment is the creation of new home gardens. The coronavirus crisis has changed requirements and industry players are increasingly trying to design the garden as a place to relax and enjoy a holiday.
