Artificial Turf Global Market Report 2026

Artificial turf refers to a variety of synthetic, carpet-like materials designed to cover patios, football and baseball fields, and other surfaces, mimicking natural grass. Made from eco-friendly materials, artificial turf can withstand all types of weather due to its high durability and all-weather functionality, making it a favored option for both commercial and residential applications, including landscaping and lawns.

The main types of material used in artificial turfs are polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, and others. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic with a variable crystalline structure that is lightweight and durable. Polyethylene artificial turfs are realistic-looking grass. Due to its properties such as water absorption, toughness, and ductile strength, this is generally used for landscaping and lawns. Artificial turfs are installed in floors and wall cladding for residential, commercial, and sports applications.
