For instance, in February 2023, Diamond Mowers, introduced its new Boom Drum Mulcher, to mulch trees. It is used by the municipal fleets faced with cutting, eliminating, and processing woody materials, mainly to areas that are unreachable with the help of skid-steer and excavator.
Moreover, mulching has emerged as an extensively better cultural practice in the recent years, which involves the spreading of both organic and inorganic materials on the ground in order to provide a favorable and effective environment for the development and production of crops or vegetables.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the growth of the mulching materials market. The emergence of the deadly virus has led to an increase in demand for food, as people have spent more time at home and have cooked more meals and interest in home-based gardening and agriculture has also grown drastically, that influenced the demand for these materials. However, the pandemic has also disrupted supply chains and caused logistical challenges for the mulching materials industry, which resulted in delays in deliveries and shortage of materials.
