Artificial Turf Systems Global Overview
Definition
Summary
Artificial turf, also known as synthetic grass, is engineered to mimic the look and feel of natural grass and is manufactured using only man-made materials. Artificial turf is typically most cost-effective in high-traffic areas or locations where grass does not easily grow. Common applications for artificial turf include athletic fields, sports arenas, golf courses, public areas, residential buildings, and homes. This report encompasses the purchase of artificial turf material and turf installation. Suppliers are sometimes vertically integrated, with turf manufacturers also providing installation services. Key buyers are sports facility owners, educational facility owners, homeowners, golf course operators, and commercial building owners.
This Report Includes:
- Polypropylene Artificial Turf
- Polyethylene Artificial Turf
- Nylon Artificial Turf

Warning Trends
Tariffs to negatively impact the building and construction machinery sector
- The Trump Administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which apply general tariff rate increases to most countries the United States trades with, are set to take effect on August 7, after the administration finalized the national rates on August 1. As a result, leading sources of imported construction machinery face significantly higher tariff rates, including Japan (15.0%), Mexico (25.0%), South Korea (15.0%), the European Union (15.0%), the United Kingdom (10.0%), China (54.0%), and Canada (35.0%).
- The increase in tariffs on building and construction machinery imported from tariff-impacted countries will add to the price of imports, which are typically passed on to buyers in the form of higher prices. According to The Budget Lab at Yale, the additional tariffs on imports will increase overall prices for machinery and equipment by 13.3%.
- Additionally, the administration has already implemented 50.0% tariffs on all aluminum and steel imported into the United States, with the sole exception of imports from the United Kingdom. These tariffs will increase input costs even for construction machinery suppliers with domestic manufacturing operations.
- According to an April 2025 survey from Construction Equipment Magazine, around half of the respondents reported that the higher tariffs will increase operating costs by up to 15.0%, and more than half said they plan to pass those increases along to buyers.
- As many building and construction machinery brands source parts and components such as steel, engines, and electronics from foreign countries, higher tariff rates will put upward pressure on prices and lead to greater rental rates as manufacturers and dealers pass on costs. In addition, suppliers that source parts from tariff-affected regions may see supply chain disruptions as they seek alternative suppliers to mitigate tariff impacts.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
The average vendor in this market operates at moderate risk. While vendors benefit from healthy profit margins and wide range of downstream markets, the oil-based input costs are highly volatile.
Market share concentration in the artificial turf systems market is low and decreasing. The market is highly fragmented because turf installation must be performed on site, which lends itself to the prevalence of local and regional suppliers.
The supply chain associated with artificial turf systems carries a moderate degree of risk. Risk primarily stems from volatile input costs, most notably synthetic materials and plastic materials, which are crucial inputs in the production of artificial turf systems.
The United States is a net importer of nylon turf, meaning it imports more than it exports in nylon turf. The majority of suppliers are small in size and scope, without the ability to branch out into the international market, but those that do benefit from more competitive turf prices.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Artificial Turf Systems Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Order Value and Employee Training Rate. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Pricing and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Order Value |
|
Total revenue Number of orders |
The average order value represents the revenue generated from the average order. The average order value can indicate a supplier's level of expertise in delivering a turf system of a certain size/scope. For example, buyers looking to cover entire fields should seek suppliers with higher average order values. |
| Employee Training Rate |
|
Number of employees that undergo evaluation Number of employees that pass evaluation |
The employee training rate can be used to determine a company’s ability to train quality employees. Labor is a big part of suppliers' operations. High quality employees are important to the successful installation of artificial turf systems. |
