The ongoing 129th Canton Fair is showcasing varied artificial turf products 
from over 300 exhibitors. China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of 
artificial turf with production and sales continuing to grow explosively, with 
the market expected to reach US$4.2 billion by 2027.

Statistics from China's customs indicated that China exported 242 million sqm 
of artificial turf in 2020, totaling US$ 1.21 billion. Compared to natural 
grass, artificial turf is made of synthetic resin materials that are easy to 
install, have good abrasion resistance, and require no water for maintenance. 

To better adapt to changes in global market trends, a growing number of Chinese 
companies have devoted significant R&D efforts to innovation. Nanjing-based 
artificial turf manufacturer CC Grass has exported to more than 120 countries. 
During the 129th Canton Fair, the company is exhibiting 131 products, including 
its latest PRT product that won the Canton Fair CF Bronze Award. 

"Canton Fair is a critical platform for us to expand overseas. Just before the 
129th Fair, we signed a deal on leisure grass with a Brazilian buyer that came 
to us during 2020 Canton Fair. Sales growth in the international industry 
mainly come from leisure grass." said Mr. Zhang, Sales Director of CC Grass. In 
2020, the company produced 53.71 million sqm of turf, a 31.08 % year-on-year 
increase, and a marked 20.05 % growth from international sales.

"At present, the performance indicators of our products under R&D have 
surpassed the industry's authoritative FIFA Quality Pro standards. The PRT 
product has quick drainage capacity and high firmness level. As it contains no 
chemical substances and achieves 100 percent recyclability, it is highly 
conducive to safe handling and environmental protection." Zhang added.

Meanwhile, Bellinturf--a leading manufacturer of artificial turf for landscape 
and sports—is also showcasing 129 products during the current Canton Fair. Its 
CF Awards winning product Bellin-GRE (Green, Recyclable, Eco-friendly) series 
can be used for various scenarios. Different from the traditional black bottom 
design, Bellin-GRE uses a green-colored bottom with more esthetically-pleasing 
transparent gum. All parts of the artificial turf, from the grass yarn to the 
base fabric and gum, are 100% recyclable. Its unique technology also guarantees 
softer grass for easier installation.
