China's Stroller Exports Surge as U.S. Market Drives Growth, with Guangdong and Zhejiang Emerging as Dual Growth Engines

The China Toy & Juvenile Products Association (CTJPA) has released the China Baby Stroller Export Report for May 2026, revealing that China's baby stroller exports reached US$160 million in May 2026, representing a 15.2% year-on-year increase. From January to May, total exports amounted to US$740 million, up 9.4% compared with the same period last year.

The export data highlights a clear divergence among overseas markets. While demand from North America accelerated significantly and the European Union market maintained steady growth, Japan became the only market within the RCEP region to achieve positive growth. Among all destinations, the United States emerged as the primary growth engine behind China's stroller export expansion.

Backed by well-established supply chains, mature manufacturing ecosystems, and a strong network of large-scale enterprises, Guangdong and Zhejiang have become the key contributors to China's growing stroller exports to the U.S. market. The exhibitor lineup of CKE 2026 China Kids Expo further showcases the industrial strengths, manufacturing capabilities, and global competitiveness of these two major baby product production hubs.

 

01 U.S. Market Drives Strong Growth Momentum, Guangdong & Zhejiang Outperform National Average in Export Growth

In May 2026, China's stroller exports to the United States reached US$36.971 million, surging 98.9% year on year with an additional increase of US$18.384 million. The U.S. market accounted for 23.5% of China's total stroller exports, maintaining its position as the country's largest overseas market for stroller products.

 

China’s Stroller Export Value and Growth Rate (June 2025–May 2026)

The strong export performance in the U.S. market was mainly driven by the manufacturing advantages of Guangdong and Zhejiang, two major baby stroller production clusters in China. Both provinces achieved export growth rates exceeding 160%, significantly higher than the national average growth rate of 98.9%, highlighting the competitiveness of China's regional manufacturing ecosystems.

In May, Guangdong's stroller exports to the U.S. market reached US$19.759 million, increasing 163.5% year on year. The province recorded an additional export value of US$12.261 million, with U.S.-bound exports accounting for 39% of Guangdong's total stroller exports. The United States has become Guangdong's largest overseas market for stroller products.

Together, Guangdong and Zhejiang undertake a significant share of China's stroller exports to the United States. Their Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta manufacturing clusters have become key foundations supporting China's expansion into the global baby products market.

 

02 RCEP Market Faces Challenges, While Japan Emerges as the Only Growth Market

In May, China's total stroller exports to RCEP member countries reached US$20.008 million, accounting for 12.7% of the country's total stroller exports, but declining 10.7% year on year. Overall demand in the region remained weak, with most Southeast Asian RCEP members, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore, recording double-digit declines in exports.

However, Japan showed strong resilience and became the only growth market within the RCEP region. China's stroller exports to Japan reached US$4.701 million, increasing 24.2% year on year, with an additional export value of US$916,000. Japan accounted for 23.5% of China's total stroller exports to RCEP markets, making it the region's strongest growth contributor.

From a regional perspective, Guangdong was one of the major exporting provinces to Japan. In the same month, Guangdong's stroller exports to Japan reached US$2.423 million, increasing 6.6% year on year and accounting for 4.8% of the province's total stroller exports. Compared with the national export growth rate of 24.2% to Japan, Guangdong's growth in the Japanese market was relatively moderate.
