The turf protection market is estimated at USD 5.15 Billion in 2017, and is projected to reach USD 6.41 Billion by 2022, during the forecast period. The benefits of turf grass includes prevention of erosion, ground water recharge, and creation of ambient temperature apart from serving its main purpose as a surface for recreational activities such as golf, parks, commercial and residential places. Turf grasses need protection from insects, weeds, and diseases. Turf protection chemicals include insecticides, fungicides, biologicals, and others chemicals which are used as preventive or curative remedies for this purpose.
One of the key trends of the previous decade around the world is the increasing investments in golf and recreational parks in an effort to enhance the number of foreign visitors and boost tourism revenue. This has seen the spread of golf and recreational parks globally and the number of world class golf courses and recreational parks have been gradually rising over the years as well. Some of the finest golf courses and recreational parks are locate in North America, Europe, Africa & Middle East countries and Asia. Growing area under golf and recreational parks across the globe would drive the need for turf protection products. The increasing affluence and environmental & aesthetic benefits of turf grass in urban landscape have also contributed to demand for turf grass which also requires fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals. The soil on which these turfs are grown also required to be maintained by providing key nutrients such as nitrogen, which helps to maintain soil vigor, and growth.
