Gardening in Canada

PROSPECTS

Fast growth in urban agriculture favours steady growth in gardening

Canada is witnessing the rise of urban agriculture. Acknowledging this growing trend, the Toronto Mayor’s office declared 15 September as Urban Agriculture Day.

Health-conscious Canadians embrace smart gardening

The long, cold weather is tough for Canadians, and also for gardening in the country. However, the rise of smart gardening has been helping Canadians to overcome this problem.

Limited spending due to uncertainty in the real estate market

For the last two years, the Canadian real estate market saw uncertainty due to sharp increases in prices. Although condominiums were popular amongst single-person households in the past, affordability has become an issue in cities such as Toronto and Vancouver.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The Scotts Miracle-Grow Co leads gardening

The Scotts Miracle-Grow Co continued to lead gardening in value terms in 2018, thanks to its dominance in plant protection and strong position in growing media. Although it saw a slight decline in its value share in 2018, it is expected to see growth in the forecast period due to its involvement in hydroponics for growing cannabis.

Robotic lawnmowers make inroads

When it comes to lawn maintenance, Canadians predominantly use either walk power lawn mowers or riding lawn mowers. However, players in the market are aggressively trying to shift the consumer preference towards robotic lawn mowers.

Legislation on recreational cannabis leads Scotts to bet on hydroponics

Canada has legalised recreational cannabis. With the full legislation coming into effect in October 2018, players such as The Scotts Miracle-Grow Co and Aurora Cannabis are betting on this growing market.
