In a world where sustainability and convenience has become a necessity, the lush green expanses of natural lawns too are rapidly undergoing a remarkable transformation. Artificial turf or fake has emerged as a game-changer for landscaping and sports surfaces. And people are steadily shifting towards artificial turfs and grass for commercial as well as residential purposes due to various benefits they provide.

Artificial turf, also known as synthetic turf or artificial grass is a surface made from synthetic fibers such as polyethylene or polypropylene designed to mimic the appearance and feel of natural grass. It is widely used in various applications such as sports fields, residential lawns, and commercial landscapes. One of the primary benefits of synthetic turf is its low maintenance requirements as it doesn’t need mowing, watering, or fertilizing like natural grass. These turfs are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and can sustain various weather conditions such as rain, snow, and intense sunlight. Moreover, artificial surf doesn’t require water, making it an eco-friendly alternative in regions with water scarcity or drought conditions.

Artificial turfs are becoming increasingly favored due to their ability to endure adverse weather conditions, all-weather playability, aesthetic appeal, environmental benefits, consistent green appearance year-round, suitability for both children and pets and easy customization to suit specific needs and preferences. These turfs come in various colors and textures, allowing for creative landscape designs.

These are commonly used in sports fields for soccer, golf, football, and baseball, in residential lawns, terrace & rooftop gardens, and in public places like airports, schools, public parks, hotels, malls, and other commercial properties.  Moreover, artificial turfs are used in temporary event spaces and concert venues to create attractive, low-maintenance garden areas and films and television sets to create controlled outdoor settings for shooting scenes.

The global artificial turf market size was USD 3,557.21 million in 2022 and is expected to register a robust revenue CAGR of 13.70% over the forecast period. This can be attributed to key factors such as growing demand for high-quality artificial turf for landscaping and sports facilities, rapid advancements in artificial turf materials, and rising consumer trends of renovating outdoor areas, rooftops, and lawns.

Manufacturers in the artificial turf market play a crucial role by contributing to its growth, development, and sustainability.
