Forest Hill, Maryland – The Norther American synthetic turf market is to suffer a slight decline in 2020 due to the short-term impact of Covid-19, but will rebound by 5.7% through to 2022, according to the US-based Synthetic Turf Council (STC).
The total installed value of synthetic turf in North America currently stands at $2.7 billion (€2.4), reflecting an industry growth of 15% since 2017, said STC in its 2020 synthetic turf market report for North America, published earlier in June.
This represents approximately 265 million square feet (24.6 million square metres) of installed turf and 352 million kilogramme of infill, said the research, conducted by consulting firm FMI.
Sports field applications represent 63% of the installed turf in 2020 in the region and are expected to remain the largest end application, though use in landscape applications is increasing at a faster pace.
