ARTIFICIAL GRASS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global artificial grass market is poised for significant growth, starting at USD 3.59 billion in 2024, rising to USD 3.79 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 5.82 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with artificial grass experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Artificial grass is formed of synthetic strands that are man-made and imitate real grass. These grasses have varying pile heights and are green in color. Before the blades are machine sewed on, it has a robust backing and is constructed similarly to carpet. The two distinct methods for installing synthetic grass are wall cladding and flooring. It can be used for leisure, non-contact sports, contact sports, and landscaping. The three main fiber types utilized in artificial grass are nylon, polyethylene, and polypropylene. Infill materials like those derived from plants, sand, and petroleum are used in the production of artificial grass.
