Electric Golf Cart Market Summary
The global electric golf cart market size was estimated at USD 1.55 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 2.58 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2033. The market is gaining momentum, driven by the rising adoption of electric models in resorts, gated communities, and retirement villages, where quiet and eco-friendly mobility solutions are increasingly preferred.
Advancements in lithium-ion battery technology are significantly enhancing vehicle range, performance, and lifecycle efficiency, making electric golf carts more viable for extended and varied applications. Also, growing pressure from environmental regulations is encouraging the shift toward zero-emission transport solutions, further accelerating market adoption across both recreational and utility-based use cases.
Advancements in tourism infrastructure, electric drivetrains, and multi-purpose cart configurations present significant opportunities to support the growing popularity of golf tourism in emerging economies and the broader adoption of electric utility carts across commercial campuses, airports, and event venues. However, limited charging infrastructure, especially in less urbanized or rural areas, poses a challenge to broader adoption, restricting deployment beyond well-developed regions.
The rising adoption of electric golf carts in resorts, gated communities, and retirement villages is being driven by the need for sustainable, low-noise, and user-friendly mobility solutions tailored for short-distance transportation. These environments increasingly prioritize comfort, environmental consciousness, and operational efficiency, making electric carts a preferred choice over traditional internal combustion options. The segment is further supported by growing investments in residential leisure infrastructure and private community developments. For instance, in November 2022, Neuron Energy introduced its Adler electric golf cart range, equipped with lithium-ion batteries, GPRS tracking, and remote assistance features. Designed for diverse applications including personal travel and leisure, the product is also positioned for export to international markets such as the Middle East. Such developments reflect the expanding scope and acceptance of electric carts in non-golf recreational and residential settings.
The shift toward high-capacity, fast-charging, and thermally stable battery systems is enabling longer operational hours, reduced downtime, and improved user convenience. These innovations are especially crucial in fleet applications where reliability and endurance are key. For instance, in March 2025, Trojan Battery launched the Lithium OnePack Extended Range, a 48V 171Ah battery designed for 6-8 passenger carts, enabling travel of up to 75 miles on a single charge. Similarly, in June 2024, CTECHI unveiled a 48V LiFePO4 battery with scalable capacity and advanced battery management features. Such developments underscore the growing technological maturity reshaping the electric golf cart segment.
The expansion of electric utility cart usage across commercial campuses, airports, and event venues is creating new growth avenues for electric golf carts beyond traditional golf course applications. These vehicles offer quiet, efficient, and low-emission transport solutions ideal for short-distance, high-frequency movement of people or light cargo. The trend is being reinforced by public and private initiatives aimed at enhancing accessibility and operational efficiency. For instance, in March 2024, Saudi Arabia’s General Authority deployed smart electric golf carts at Makkah’s Grand Mosque to support elderly and disabled pilgrims, improving mobility during religious rituals.
Limited charging infrastructure in less urbanized and remote regions continues to pose a significant barrier to the widespread adoption of electric golf carts. Although these vehicles are ideal for short-range mobility, their operational viability is heavily dependent on accessible and reliable charging points. In areas lacking such infrastructure, users face range anxiety and increased logistical challenges in maintaining consistent performance. This issue becomes particularly prominent in emerging markets or rural tourism destinations, where investment in EV infrastructure is still nascent.
