The development history of artificial turf can be traced back to the early 20th century, but its true commercial application began in the 1960s. In the 1950s and 60s, artificial turf started to be widely used in some sports stadiums and recreational areas. During this period, artificial turf was primarily made of nylon material, but there were some issues with weather resistance and durability.

        With technological advancements and increasing demand for artificial turf, China began to improve and industrialize the technology of artificial turf from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. Domestic manufacturers gradually introduced advanced production techniques and materials, enhancing the quality and performance of artificial turf. Since 2010, the artificial turf industry in China has further flourished, not only widely applied in sports stadiums but also promoted in various areas such as urban landscaping, schools, residential communities, and more. The quality of artificial turf continues to improve, and with ongoing technological innovations, it has gradually become one of the mainstream choices as a substitute for natural grass.

       According to customs data, the overall market remained relatively stable from 2018 to 2021, with the export value reaching 1.324 billion US dollars in 2021, showing a growth of 15.80% compared to the same period in 2020. However, in 2022, it hit a historic low in nearly five years, experiencing a 69.57% decline compared to the same period, a fluctuation attributed significantly to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on international trade and supply chains.

As the global economy recovered, as of October 2023, China's artificial turf export value reached 397 million US dollars, marking an 18.96% growth during the same period.

       China's artificial turf industry not only meets domestic market demands but also holds a certain share in the international market, especially in countries with significant demand for artificial turf in sports stadiums and landscape design.

        According to customs data, in 2023, China's main markets for artificial turf exports include the United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Australia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Peru, Thailand, Vietnam, and others. While the United States and Japan have traditionally been major export markets for Chinese artificial turf, they experienced a decline of 5.68% and 8.38%, respectively, compared to the same period last year. In contrast, there was a significant increase in demand from Spain, Vietnam, Russia, and other regions.

       China's artificial turf industry offers a diverse range of products in terms of colors, fiber types, heights, and applications to meet the varied market demands of different countries and regions. This flexibility positions China strongly in the global market. Chinese suppliers also excel in providing shorter production cycles, allowing them to respond more flexibly to customer order requirements. This has resulted in accumulated export experience, providing an advantage for projects with time-sensitive delivery needs.

       It's important to note that, influenced by factors such as market demand, technological innovations, and environmental regulations, Chinese suppliers must closely monitor market dynamics. Flexibility in adapting to these changes is crucial to maintaining competitiveness and meeting evolving market demands. For more market information, feel free to inquire online.
