This thesis sets out to analyse marketing strategy of new product launch. Through review of relevant literature and papers it analyses approaches to new product launch onto an existing market from the marketing perspective. Marketing mix, diffusion of innovations and late entry into the market with dominant brand are at the core of the theoretical part. This theory is later applied at the specific case of Honda's first robotic mower and its European launch. Honda is a traditional Japanese manufacturer of cars, motorbikes, engines and an established producer of premium products in the power equipment market and is introduced in details in this thesis. To provide a complete picture, thorough macroeconomic and competition analysis is conducted together with possible outlooks into the future developments of the market.
