The popularity of artificial grass has completely skyrocketed in recent years. Changes in the UK climate, combined with a decline in the amount of free time average people have, has made synthetic turf the material of choice for many with an outdoor space that they just don’t have the time to maintain.
Market Growth
All of this has led to gains for companies providing AstroTurf and a large increase in the size of the artificial grass market.
A company in London reported in 2016 that they saw a 220% increase in sales compared with 2015 and this is only set to rise.
In addition to this, the synthetic turf market is projected to grow at 6.8% from 2017 to reach a value of $4.45 billion by 2022.
The industry is certainly on the rise, with the demand for AstroTurf, expanding outside of traditional sports field uses. Landscape gardener Paul Wackett told The Guardian in 2016 that 99% of his customers using the product are both large and small houses.
