Yahoo, Popular Mechanics, social media personalities, and influential home improvement gurus like Bob Vila are among those calling the expandable garden hose “one of the must-have lawncare items of 2021”….but can garden hose manufacturers keep up with the increased demand?

Home ownership among social media users and online shoppers ages 24-39 is at historically high levels, and with lawn care and gardening season in full swing consumers are driving demand for these products sky-high with reviews and ratings on platforms such as Amazon and YouTube. User reviews tend to be among the most trusted sources of information about a product or service, and today’s consumers are more informed and selective than ever. This consumer behavior is driving product and market changes like never before, and innovative manufacturers that are able to adapt to customer needs at the speed of business while meeting demand requirements are standing out from the crowd.
