The golf club market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The size of the golf club market has been incrementally increasing over the past several years. From $7.76 billion in 2024, it is projected to grow to $8.02 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%.
The growth that was observed during the historical period can be accredited to the rise in the quantity of golf courses and establishments in emerging markets, heightened popularity of golf as a form of exercise, escalating interest in golf as a networking platform, the surge in the count of golf games and functions, and increasing enthusiasm towards golf as a recreational activity.
The golf club market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, a constant expansion is predicted in the golf club market, advancing to $9.61 billion by 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.6%.
Such growth during the projection period can be credited to the escalating demand for personalized golf clubs, expansion in golf courses and facilities, and increasing disposable income. Key trends during this period forecast include partnerships and collaborations, pioneering solutions, advancements in technology for golf club design, and market growth in significant regions.
The golf club market is set to expand, fueled by escalating government efforts to encourage golf tourism. This refers to tourist pursuits primarily intended for golf playing as an additional activity during holidays or business trips. Golf clubs, the fundamental equipment and infrastructure for golf experiences, are vital in this tourism branch. The growth of the golf industry is facilitated by government undertakings that foster a favourable environment and forge partnerships with domestic and global golf bodies. For example, the RBC Canadian Open and CP Women's Open, professional golf events based in Canada, were bestowed an investment of $4.4 million by Canada's federal government in August 2022. This was aimed at generating vital economic advantages and drawing tourists from all over the region. Thus, the surge in government initiatives to endorse golf tourism is contributing significantly to the expansion of the golf club market.
