Garden carts and wheelbarrows are essential utility products used for carrying plants, soils, fertilizers, tools and other gardening equipment and materials over short to medium distances within residential, commercial and industrial gardens, farms and landscaping projects. Wheelbarrows are considered ideal for heavy loads and on rough terrains, while garden carts provide better stability and comfort for carrying loads over paved driveways and walkways.

Furthermore, rising environmental awareness has driven the adoption of organic urban farming practices using hydroponics and container gardening, thereby fueling demand for garden carts and wheelbarrows to transport soil and equipment. The market growth is also supported by the increased commercial construction of parks, golf courses and other recreational green spaces that require landscaping services and regular maintenance activities deploying wheelbarrows and carts.
