Artificial Turf Market Drivers

Rapid growth of technology has helped synthetic grass yarn grow with leaps and bounds making it more acceptable in sports and homes alike. Primary stakeholders of this technology like FIFA and UEFA Champions League have taken great interest in it, giving it a much-needed boost. Stronger fibers which are more environmentally friendly, sustainable and yet high-performance solutions are being developed as well.

• Growing demand for Water Saving & Waste Elimination

The total amount of synthetic turf installed in North America manages to save more than 3 billion gallons of water. But water conservation is not the only benefit. Crumb rubber, manufactured from recycled tires, is now used as infill for synthetic grass; this has caused over a 100 million used tires to stay out of landfills.

• Growing demand from landscaping and leisure

With more and more areas across the globe being affected by drought maintaining a lush lawn has become an expensive affair. Also, the rising awareness of environmental degradation has led people to reduce the use of chemical-based fertilizers and pesticides. With designers and architects continuously finding different ways to use synthetic grass, it has managed to find its way in everyone’s life. Many have found uses for it in the form of wallpaper, or head-rests for beds, among other things. Manufacturers have also found ways to weave in fiber optics into synthetic turf, essentially converting synthetic playing fields into huge jumbotrons.

Artificial Turf Market Challenges

• Volatile raw material prices

In the second half of 2018, the oil market exhibited high volatility not only in terms of price levels but also time spreads and quality spreads. After reaching highs of $81/b and $71/b in October, monthly Brent and WTI prices ended the year in December at $57/b and $49/b respectively. At the same time, time spreads switched from backwardation to contango, as inventories rose above their 5-year average and the prospects for global demand worsened amid supplies increasing. The spreads between light sweet-medium sour crude also exhibited wide volatility, with the Brent-Dubai and WTI-Dubai spreads collapsing signaling a shortage of heavier sour crude globally.
