Artificial Turf Market Expected to Double by 2033, Driven by Sports, Landscaping, and Sustainability Trends

The global artificial turf market is set to double by 2033, driven by sports, residential, and commercial demand - and new innovations in eco-friendly turf.

Published on Aug 12, 2025 - 23:03 GMT


The global artificial turf market is on track for strong growth, projected to rise from $5.25 billion in 2023 to $10.12 billion by 2033, according to new research from Orion Market Research. That's an 8% annual growth rate over the next decade - fueled by expanding applications in sports facilities, commercial spaces, and residential landscaping.

Why the Market Is Growing

Advancements in turf manufacturing have created more realistic, durable products, increasing appeal for both high-traffic sports fields and low-maintenance home lawns. Environmental factors also play a role: artificial turf eliminates the need for irrigation, helping conserve water in drought-prone areas, while reducing fertilizer and pesticide use.
