With the gradual recovery of the global economy, especially the rebound of manufacturing PMI in developed countries such as the United States, it has driven the growth of demand for products such as garden machinery. The recovery of the inventory cycle in the United States and the increase in demand for replenishment have further promoted the export of Chinese garden machinery. The trend of demand recovery in the United States has driven global demand to improve, while the overall recovery trend of the European economy remains unchanged, providing a favorable external environment for the export of garden machinery.

According to the latest data, the export value of Chinese garden machinery in the first quarter of 2024 showed a significant year-on-year growth, demonstrating a strong growth momentum. Especially the export value of garden machinery products such as lawn mowers has grown rapidly year-on-year, completely reversing the downward trend in 2023.

As the main category of garden machinery, lawn mowers have shown a rapid growth trend in both export quantity and value. The export value of Chinese lawn mowers in 2022 was 2.438 billion US dollars. Although the quantity decreased, the amount increased, indicating an increase in product unit price and changes in market demand structure.

There are various types of garden machinery, which can be clearly classified into the following categories based on their main purposes and functions:

1 Lawn machinery category

lawn mower

Lawn mowers are the most common type of garden machinery, mainly used for trimming and maintaining lawns. According to the operation mode, it can be divided into push type and self-propelled type. Among them, push type lawn mowers have small volume and simple operation, and are suitable for courtyard greening or small park green spaces.

There are various types of lawn mowers, including rotary blade lawn mowers, drum lawn mowers, brush cutters, lawn mowers, and multi link lawn mowers. Different types of lawn mowers are suitable for different types of lawn mowing needs.

Grass dredging machine

The lawn mower vertically cuts over dense lawn grass and surface soil through high-speed rotating blades, excavates dry grass mats, increases the permeability of the lawn, and promotes the emergence of new roots and sprouts of lawn grass.

hole-punching machine

The punching machine uses metal tubes on the punching tube shaft to form holes on the lawn, increasing soil permeability, and improving soil structure through fertilization and sand cultivation. It is suitable for lawns that have been used for a long time or have a lot of exercise.

2 Trimming machinery

Hedge Trimmer

Green hedge trimmer is a specialized machinery used for trimming large areas of green hedges and shaping shrubs, divided into two categories: electric and oil powered. Oil powered hedge trimmer generally uses mixed oil, which has high noise but is not limited by power supply; Electric vehicles have low noise and no exhaust emissions, but are affected by power distribution.

Chainsaw/chainsaw

Chainsaw/chainsaw is a handheld two-stroke motorized cutting tool that uses mixed oil as fuel, mainly used for cutting larger diameter plant stems.

chainsaw

Electric saws use electricity as a driving energy source and are suitable for cutting larger wood or plant stems.

3 Plant Protection Machinery

Horticultural spray/sprayer

Horticultural spray is used to spray pesticide, fertilizer and water evenly to protect plant health. There are two kinds of spray: manual sprayer and motorized sprayer. The motorized spray includes high-pressure sprayer, high-pressure suspension spray, etc., with efficient and uniform spraying effect.

4 Irrigation machinery category

Water pump

Pump is one of the main machinery for garden irrigation, used to extract water from water sources and supply it to the garden irrigation system.

Sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation equipment

Sprinkler and drip irrigation equipment evenly sprays or drips water onto plant roots through pipeline systems, improving irrigation efficiency and reducing water resource waste.

5 Other mechanical categories

Tree digging machine/pit digging machine

The tree digging machine is used to excavate seedlings with soil balls during the process of transplanting garden seedlings, while the pit digging machine is used for digging pits before planting.

Garden crusher

Garden crushers are used to crush plant residues generated during garden maintenance. The crushed materials can be used as raw materials for economic products such as biomass pellets and organic fertilizers.

Garden cleaning machine

Including mechanical equipment such as leaf blowers, sweepers, and garbage collection trucks, used to remove leaves, garbage, and debris from gardens and keep them clean.

tractor

Tractors have multifunctionality in landscaping projects and can be used as tools for various operations such as cultivation, sowing, harvesting, and transportation.

6 Auxiliary Tools

In addition to the above mechanical tools, garden operations often use some non mechanical auxiliary tools, such as branch shear, small leaf shear, high branch shear, water pipe cart, manual high-pressure spray pot, etc. These tools also play an important role in garden maintenance and greening operations.

With the acceleration of urbanization and the rise of horticultural culture, the global market size of garden machinery continues to expand. The Chinese garden machinery industry continues to improve in terms of technological level, product quality, and brand influence. The rapid development of new products such as lithium battery technology also stimulates the expansion of the garden machinery market, providing strong support for exports.

The increasing support from the government for the landscaping and greening industry has provided a favorable policy environment for the landscaping machinery industry. At the same time, the government's support policies for export enterprises have also promoted the export of garden machinery products.

However, the global economic situation still faces uncertainty, and the international trade environment is complex and ever-changing. At the same time, the domestic landscaping machinery industry is also facing challenges such as intensified market competition and pressure for technological upgrades. Although the overall prospects for the export of Chinese garden machinery are promising, it is also necessary for enterprises to closely monitor market trends, strengthen technological innovation and brand building, improve product quality and service levels, and respond to challenges and seize opportunities to achieve sustainable development.
