Europe Flexible Garden Hoses Market Growth Drivers and Forecast by 2028

The Europe flexible garden hoses market is expected to grow from US$ 296.36 million in 2021 to US$ 391.97 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2028.

The expandable hose is a relatively new type of garden hose. It can expand three times its original length when water pressure is activated and shrink to its original length when closed. This flexibility allows the expanded hose to drain automatically without kinks and tangles. Traditional hoses have several problems. For instance, in traditional hoses, to discharge water, you must hold it at different angles. However, in an expandable hose, the water is automatically discharged. Another problem with traditional rubber hoses is kinks, knots, or tangles. However, the kinks of the expandable hose are much lesser than those of the corresponding rubber hose because the latex it contains is more flexible than hard rubber. In addition, another problem with traditional hoses is that they are difficult to operate. The longer they are, the heavier they are. However, expandable hoses are about five times lighter than traditional hoses. Once the water is turned off, the expanded garden hose will return to its original length, making it easier to store than traditional rubber hoses. Thus, the growing demand for expandable hoses due to the various benefits offered by them is expected to drive the flexible garden hoses market.
 

In Europe, the UK reported a huge number of COVID-19 cases. It was significantly affected by a scanty worker availability, which hindered production of flexible garden hoses in early 2020. However, later in mid-2020 flexible garden hoses sales begun to rise. Social distancing and home confinement during the first wave of COVID-19 proved critical in helping governments flatten the infection curve; on the other hand, it raised concerns about possible negative consequences such as prolonged isolation or a sedentary lifestyle. In this scenario, gardening activities emerged as a significant trend due to their ability of reducing stress and home confinement-related dilemma. Furthermore, with the reopening of several enterprises, rapid pace of vaccine development and administration to public, and initiatives taken by various governments to support economic and industrial growth, the demand and production of flexible garden hoses is anticipated to rise across Europe in the coming years.
 

With the new advancements and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe flexible garden hoses market. Due to the rising working population and growing urbanization, stress among people is increasing, which can cause irritability, headache, stomach pain, even a heart attack, and worsen the preexisting condition of the body. However, in recent years, gardening has emerged as a recreational activity that helps to relieve stress. For instance, an experiment published in the Journal of Health Psychology compared gardening to reading as a stress-relieving activity. Compared to subjects who were assigned to read, subjects who were engaged in gardening had a greater stress reduction. Hence, the increasing adoption of gardening activities by the people is propelling the market growth. Further, gardening can also be used as a strategy to improve household food security and nutrition. Home gardens have also received a lot of attention in recent years. The number of people who grow organic food in the garden is increasing, especially in developed countries, and this is expected to increase the demand for garden supplies such as flexible garden hoses in the next few years. Thus, the rising number of gardening activities is catalyzing the development of the flexible garden hoses market.
