Key trends for the forecasted period encompass advancements in material technology, introduction of new products, eco-friendly artificial turfs, technological progress, and improvements in shock absorption and drainage technologies.
The increased involvement in sports activities is anticipated to boost the expansion of the artificial grass market in the future. Sports participation denotes the engagement of people in physical workouts, sports, or games, either for competition or recreation, for the purposes of fitness, pleasure, or skill enhancement. This increase in sports involvement is driven by heightened awareness of health benefits, a rising interest in social engagement, and an escalating focus on fitness and wellness. Artificial grass promotes sports participation by offering a resilient, easy-to-maintain, and weather-tolerant playing field, guaranteeing consistent performance and availability for different sports. For example, a report from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), a trade group based in the US, stated in February 2024 that the involvement in winter sports, team sports, racquet sports, and water sports rose by over 9% in 2023, with winter sports registering the highest growth of 22%. Moreover, pickleball saw an impressive surge of 51.8% from 2022, and the overall sports and fitness participation reached 242 million Americans, marking a 2.2% increase from the prior year. Hence, the increase in sports participation will fuel the development of the artificial grass market.
