In the global wave of agricultural modernization, the innovation and development of irrigation technologies have always been a key force in promoting sustainable agricultural development. In recent years, green PE woven hoses have emerged as a new weapon to promote agricultural green development, thanks to their outstanding performance and environmentally friendly characteristics.
Green PE woven hoses are made of polyethylene (PE), a material that endows the hoses with many significant advantages. The hoses are lightweight and highly flexible, making them extremely convenient for transportation and laying. A single person can easily operate them, which greatly reduces labor costs. Under extreme climatic conditions, PE woven hoses can still maintain stable performance. For example, at -40 degrees Celsius, they do not become brittle and have good folding resistance, allowing them to be used normally in cold regions. In addition, PE woven hoses are non-toxic and odorless, meeting the standards for drinking water transportation, and can satisfy the strict requirements for water quality in agricultural irrigation. In terms of water conservation, through drip irrigation and micro-sprinkling technologies, PE woven hoses can directly and precisely deliver water to the roots of plants, effectively reducing water evaporation and loss, and significantly improving water use efficiency.
Green PE woven hoses have a wide range of applications in agricultural irrigation and can meet a variety of irrigation needs. In large-scale field flooding irrigation, they can be laid along the ridges to easily achieve large-area irrigation. For orchards and vegetable cultivation, PE woven hoses can provide precise irrigation based on the distribution of plants and their water requirements at different growth stages. In addition, they can be widely used in greenhouse irrigation, landscape greening, and home gardening. For example, in cotton cultivation, PE woven hoses can provide precise irrigation through drip or sprinkling techniques according to the water requirements of cotton at different growth stages. In orchards, the hoses can be laid flexibly according to the distribution of fruit trees and combined with fertilization systems to achieve integrated water and fertilizer management, not only improving irrigation efficiency but also optimizing the growth environment for crops.
With the increasing global emphasis on water resource management and the accelerated progress of agricultural modernization, the market demand for green PE woven hoses is showing a continuous growth trend. According to a report by the International Data Corporation (IDC), the global market for agricultural hoses is expected to grow at a stable annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% between 2025 and 2030. This growth is mainly driven by the increasing global demand for efficient and environmentally friendly agricultural technologies and the trend towards large-scale agricultural production. By 2030, the global market size of hoses is expected to grow significantly from the current level, with a CAGR of over 4%, reaching nearly US$25 billion. In emerging markets, such as Asia and Africa, the growing demand for infrastructure construction provides a broad development space for green PE woven hoses. At the same time, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, hoses made of recyclable materials will attract more attention.
Green PE woven hoses, with their lightweight, durable, water-saving, and environmentally friendly advantages, have shown great application potential and market prospects in the field of agricultural irrigation. They can not only improve irrigation efficiency and reduce labor intensity but also effectively save water resources and reduce environmental pollution. As the global process of agricultural modernization accelerates, green PE woven hoses are bound to become an important force in promoting sustainable agricultural development. In the future, with continuous technological innovation and market expansion, green PE woven hoses are expected to play a more important role in the global field of agricultural irrigation and contribute to the green development of agriculture.
