The Lawn & Garden market in China is facing a negligible growth rate due to various factors such as the increasing availability of DIY and hardware stores, low consumer interest in gardening, and the preference for professional gardening services. Despite this, the market still experiences growth as more individuals become aware of the convenience of purchasing lawn and garden products online.

Customer preferences: With the rise of urbanization and smaller living spaces, there has been a growing trend towards compact and portable lawn and garden equipment in China. Consumers are also increasingly drawn to products that are both environmentally friendly and easy to use. As a result, there has been a surge in demand for electric and battery-powered gardening tools, as well as smaller-sized gardening accessories. This shift is driven by a combination of factors, including a growing awareness of sustainable living practices and a desire for convenience in maintaining outdoor spaces in crowded urban areas.

Trends in the market: In China, the Lawn & Garden market within the DIY & Hardware Store Market is experiencing a surge in demand for smart gardening tools and devices. This trend is driven by the increasing adoption of smart home technology and the growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly gardening practices. Additionally, there is a rise in the use of online platforms and apps for gardening tips and product recommendations. These developments have significant implications for industry stakeholders as they create opportunities for innovation and digitalization to cater to the evolving needs and preferences of consumers.

Local special circumstances: In China, the Lawn & Garden Market within the DIY & Hardware Store Market is heavily influenced by the country's large population and rapid urbanization. This has led to a surge in demand for low-cost, easy-to-use gardening products. Additionally, the Chinese government's efforts to promote environmental conservation and green living have sparked interest in sustainable gardening methods, creating a niche market for eco-friendly garden supplies. Furthermore, the strong cultural emphasis on gardening and outdoor spaces has contributed to the popularity of DIY garden projects and landscaping services.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Lawn & Garden Market within the DIY & Hardware Store Market in China is heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors such as the country's economic growth, consumer spending patterns, and government policies. China's strong economic growth and rising middle class have led to increased demand for DIY and gardening products. The government's favorable policies on urbanization and environmental protection have also contributed to the market's growth. However, slowing economic growth, rising labor costs, and fluctuations in the housing and construction sectors can have a negative impact on the market. Additionally, the increasing trend towards eco-friendly and sustainable products is expected to drive market growth in the future.

Gardening is becoming an increasingly popular pastime in the United States.

Not only has this led to an increase in home improvement projects, but also to a measurable growth of the garden equipment and plants market. In 2020, the combined sales of building materials and garden equipment grew by 14 percent compared to the year before, at more than 425 billion U.S. dollars.
