Turf & Ornamental Inputs Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type Of Turf Grass (Zoysia Grass, Rye Grass, Bermuda Grass and Other Type Of Turf Grass), Type Of Ornamental Grass (Purple Millet, Fountain Grass, Fibre Optic Grass and Other Type Of Ornamental Grass), Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Turf & Ornamental Inputs Market is accounted for $6.33 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $9.13 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. Turfs or ornamentals are little trees or plants that are used as ornaments around the landscape. Chemical inputs include fertilisers, growth regulators, and insecticides that are sprayed on the soil, applied straight to seedlings, or added to boost crop development and soil fertility. Similar to pesticides and fertilisers, precision agriculture chemicals are used to protect crops from pests and diseases.
According to a study by the Bureau of labor statistics, in 2020, the annual spending on the maintenance of lawns increased from USD 113.61 in 2018 to USD 115.07.
Market DynamicsDriverGrowing golf course and sports field development
The input of turf and ornamental chemicals is crucial for maintaining the turf grasses on sports fields and golf courses. A greens keeper meticulously maintains the turf grass on golf courses to manage weeds, insects, and to add nutrients, such as nitrogen fertilisation. To keep the course aesthetically pleasing and in superb playing condition, fertilising must be done correctly and according to schedule. Fertiliser, which encourages growth and gives essential nutrients, will make turf grass stronger and more robust.
RestraintEnvironmental concerns
One such management is integrated pest management (IPM), a ground-breaking method for lessening the harm that pesticide misuse causes to the environment and, therefore, to the market. However, it is projected that rising environmental concerns may restrain market expansion. Moreover, the pesticides used for the turfs have the potential to pollute lawn, water, and other plants. Pesticides can be poisonous to a variety of different creatures in addition to insects and weeds, such as birds, fish, helpful insects, and non-target plants.
OpportunityAppropriate pesticide usage laws from relevant institutions
Market forces determine how the appropriate institution should utilise pesticides. Due to frequent use of the pest aesthetic limit, in addition to their use in conventional crops, their use in the management of grass and ornamental plants has also increased, boosting market development. Increased demand for grass & ornamental inputs from integrated pest management practises, convenience of availability, and increased knowledge of the scientific maintenance of turf & ornamentals are some of the main reasons driving the growth of the global turf & ornamental inputs market.
ThreatHigh installation & usage costs
Artificial turfs are gaining popularity these days. Also, everyone loves to play at turfs and can find a wide range of prices for these turfs based on the quality of artificial grass, drainage, thickness and quality standard which it follows. The cost varies & depends on the quality as different companies have different pricing which includes the installation, material, nets & poles.
Covid-19 ImpactThe leisure and entertainment industry are among those most badly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Golf courses, parks, and sports fields, as well as the floriculture sector, are a few of the important market categories that make up the turf and ornamental pesticides markets. While lockdowns restricted access to public meeting places, such as golf courses, greens keepers mostly opted to carry out planned pesticide treatments to preserve aesthetics and avoid future grass issues. Similar to how several sporting activities were postponed, stadium upkeep was necessary to guarantee the long-term condition of the grass for whenever athletic events began.
The bermuda grass segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The bermuda grass segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to their development over time to become more resilient, thick, and fine-leaved. The grass itself has been created to be robust and long-lasting so that it may flourish in the majority of the nation's climates. The strongest justification is its toughness and resilience, which means it will withstand changes in temperature and impacts and swiftly regenerate if hurt. Bermuda grass is a desired option for homeowners who want a lush, thriving lawn. Hence all the above factors enhance the growth of the market.
The fountain grass segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The fountain grass segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, because the plant produces gorgeous autumn seed heads that are favoured in autumn flower gardens. The blooming stems of this grass are loaded with fluffy seeds. It is also possible to afterwards trim the feathery seed heads for dried flower arrangements. This plant's beauty makes it a common focal point in both container gardens and mixed beds. Several of the plants can be massed together to form a visually stunning border or privacy screen which drives the growth of the market.
Region with highest share
North America is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period owing to because of the widespread use of sports fields for managed and sustainable turf plant growth in nations like the United States, Canada, and Mexico, North America now has the largest market for grass and ornamental chemical input in the whole globe. In addition, individuals in the nation are ready to spend more on maintaining turf grasses on the lawns as a result of rising earnings and urbanisation. One of the most popular crops in the US is leisure turf and lawns. Most home and business owners like these recreational turfs and lawns for landscaping purposes to increase attractiveness.
Region with highest CAGRAsia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to due to an increase in the turf business in areas led by a surge in interest in sports and leisure, Asia Pacific is expected to experience rapid market growth. The scale of the demand in the area is typified by vast suburban developments with golf courses and playgrounds, moreover due to better tastes and more knowledge aesthetics in architecture and interior design this eventually aids in market expansion.
