Artificial Grass Market Report 2025

The artificial grass market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.27 billion in 2024 to $4.53 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for water conservation, expansion of sports infrastructure, growing popularity of low-maintenance landscaping, urbanization and green space development, and increasing disposable income.

The artificial grass market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability and eco-friendly innovations, hybrid turf adoption in sports, smart cities and urban greening initiatives, growth in residential and commercial landscaping, and rising consumer demand for outdoor and lawn decoration activities. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in material technology, new product launches, eco-friendly artificial grasses, technological advancements, and technological advancements in shock absorption and drainage.

The forecast of 6.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The US is likely to be directly impacted due to tariff-induced constraints on the supply of synthetic turf fibers and backing materials from key producers in China and the Netherlands, which could result in higher production costs and installation delays. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing participation in sports is expected to drive the growth of the artificial grass market. Sports participation involves individuals engaging in physical activities, games, or sports for fitness, recreation, or skill development. This rise is driven by growing awareness of health benefits, a stronger emphasis on social interaction, and a greater focus on overall well-being. Artificial grass supports this trend by offering a durable, low-maintenance, and all-weather playing surface, ensuring consistent performance across various sports. In February 2024, a report by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), a US-based trade association, highlighted that participation in winter sports, team sports, racquet sports, and water sports increased by over 9% in 2023, with winter sports leading at 22% growth. Additionally, pickleball saw a surge of 51.8% from 2022, and overall sports and fitness participation in the U.S. reached 242 million, marking a 2.2% increase from the previous year. This rising engagement in sports is expected to contribute to the expansion of the artificial grass market.

Companies in the artificial grass industry are focusing on technological advancements, such as color-changing grass technology, to improve durability and maintain a natural appearance under different weather conditions and prolonged sun exposure. This innovation enables artificial or natural grass to change colors based on environmental factors, user preferences, or interactive features. In October 2023, Condor Grass, a Netherlands-based artificial grass manufacturer, introduced Colorshift technology, which allows artificial grass to shift colors in response to outdoor temperatures, creating a realistic seasonal effect. Developed in collaboration with TenCate Grass, this technology enhances the visual appeal of artificial turf for landscaping, leisure, and sports applications.

In December 2023, Leonard Green & Partners, LP, a U.S.-based private equity firm, acquired a majority stake in TenCate Grass Holding B.V. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Leonard Green & Partners' presence in the artificial grass industry and support the growth of TenCate Grass through strategic investments and innovation. TenCate Grass Holding B.V., a Netherlands-based company, specializes in the manufacturing of artificial grass solutions.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the construction sector, particularly in the areas of material procurement and overall project expenses. Increased duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have raised costs for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, resulting in higher project bids and delays in execution. Manufacturers of construction equipment are also facing challenges, as tariffs on key components and raw materials are driving up production costs and compressing profit margins. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs from major export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, putting additional pressure on revenue streams. In response, the sector is increasingly focusing on local sourcing, adopting modular construction methods, and diversifying supply chains to better manage rising costs and maintain project feasibility amid ongoing trade instability.
