Market Dynamics of the Spain Artificial Turf Market Include:

Drivers/Opportunities

• Growing demand from sports clubs and different venues

The most critical choice one would have to consider is whether to choose natural or artificial turf during the design or reconstruction of a municipal or club sports field. When deciding on the construction or replacement of turf pits, decision-makers consider various variables: realistic, environmental, and financial factors, along with cultural, political, and personal considerations. The arguments on both sides are, without a doubt, compelling, so it may seem like a tough decision. Natural turf has numerous benefits, from its unparalleled sustainable reputation to a widespread misconception that the beautiful game is just natural grass.

• Easy installation, environment friendly, and low maintenance requirements

As a cost-effective, maintenance-free, and environmentally sustainable commodity, artificial turf is widely promoted by industry and can substitute natural grass on various surfaces. Third-generation systems, which are still commonly used, improve prior models with abrasive and less shock-resistant versions. It usually consists of a soft cloth that is equitably spaced or a mixture of rubber, sand, and other substance granules lined with tiny rubber granules.

• Significant in conserving water

As the environment is one of the biggest beneficiaries, it provides artificial turf for leisure to millions of individuals, businesses, schools, and households. The cumulative volume of organic turf saves more than three billion gallons per annum of soil, dramatically decreases smog pollution, and removes nearly a billion pounds of toxic fertilizers and pesticides. The industry has also recycled more than 105 million tires. Artificial turf has had a rather good environmental effect. To increase the numerous environmental benefits that allow consumers to cut their carbon footprint, the artificial turf industry continues to innovate.

• Increasing usage of artificial turf as a wall cladding in residential

Most sporting facilities and country clubs today turn artificial turf into organic versions. The sleek, green, and UV-protected options for artificial leafy and turf are now available on tennis courts, golf courses, and clubhouses, with several turfs to be added. The grass-like surface covered in replica, appearance, and function of lush, natural grass must be kept in a green, fadeless state with artificial turf. Turf is safe from snap, drops, clear surface lines, blemishes, bugs, bruises, marks, and dyes.

Restraints/Challenges

• Disposal of scrap tire

Waste generated from used products of both plastics and rubber is potentially harming the environment to a larger extent. Plastics are made up of synthetic organic polymers which are widely used in different applications ranging from artificial turfs to various industrial materials. In recent times, plastics and rubber have become indispensable and versatile products with a wide range of properties, chemical composition, and applications, which as a result, creates a problem at the time of disposal.

• Difficulty in maintaining a high field temperature

The artificial turf fields endanger the safety of athletes and the climate. Artificial turf players face risks inherent in this commodity for their safety. Artificial fields of turf are extremely dry, triggering skin loss and warming. The industry has struggled to make them better following a decade of study. Artificial turf is more frequently affected by the toughness of its fabric relative to natural grasses (including ACL tears). The hazard of artificial turf was seen to minimize unnecessary costs and extensive maintenance of the ground. Artificial turf emits volatile organic compounds such as benzothiazole and hexane, particularly at high temperatures.

COVID-19 had a Minimal Impact on Spain Artificial Turf Market

COVID-19 impacted various manufacturing and service-providing industries in the year 2020-2021 as it led to the closure of workplaces, disruption of supply chains, and restrictions on transportation. Though, the imbalance between demand and supply and its impact on pricing is considered short-term and is expected to recover as this pandemic comes to an end. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 throughout the globe, the demand for artificial turf was decreased. Thus, the sports & leisure, hotel, and restaurant industries suffered a lot during the COVID-19 outbreak. The artificial turf industry will hopefully grow with the removed restrictions in Spain.
