Report Description

The global golf equipment market size is anticipated to project robust growth during the forecast period owing to the rising interest of youngsters in golf and the growing standard of living, new product launches, are few of the factors which are expected to drive the global golf market throughout the forecast period.

Golf is a popular sport among corporate executives since it is utilized to offer and close business deals. Golf equipment comprises numerous items required to play golf and is also critical in providing the player with an enhanced experience. Golf equipment includes golf clubs, balls, shoes, and various aids such as apparel and bags. The primary reasons driving the golf equipment industry include rising consumer disposable income, an increase in professional and amateur female golfers, and an increase in golf tourism due to the establishment of golf courses around the world.

In 2021, The National Golf Foundation found that out of 251 countries and dependent territories, golf is now played in 206 of them. There are more than 38,000 golf courses in the world, located in about 82 percent of the countries. With 80% of the courses located in the top 10 countries with the highest production, golf is broadly distributed but remains highly concentrated. With more than 16,000 courses, the U.S. hosts 42% of all courses worldwide, followed by Japan (3,140) and the United Kingdom (3,101). Thus, with the increase in popularity of golf around the world, the sales of golf equipment will grow significantly.

The popularity of golf is increasing at a fast rate. For instance, golf presently generates approximately USD20 billion per year and by itself or as a secondary incentive, can attract millions of vacationers worldwide. Golf is played by around 56 million people worldwide, with 26.7 million in the United States, 5.5 million in Europe, 5 million in Canada, 14 million in Japan, and 3.8 million in the United Kingdom. About 5 to 10% go around the world solely to play golf. This figure has progressively increased over the years as more countries see golf tourism as a valuable source of foreign cash.

The golf equipment market growth is influenced by various factors such as increase in the manufacturing of superlight clubs for golfers with slower swing speed. These ultralight clubs are designed to meet the demand for lighter clubs that cover larger distance and that can be swung more quickly.

Some of the examples of superlight clubs of golf equipment industry are Callaway’s Epic Star line and Cobra Golf’s F-Max series. Callaway has adopted the Great Big Bertha Epic Star Driver (Golf Club) as their alternative selling golf equipment. It weighs 286 gm vs the popular Epic Driver from the previous year, which weighed 310 gm. An extra 15 yards can be produced with a relatively small five mph increase in swing speed. Cobra's strategy involves using a very light shaft with a head that has been reduced in weight, while the center of gravity has been placed to fight a slice and hit the ball on a higher trajectory. Notably, the F-Max Driver and irons are priced at the bottom of the range at USD300 each.

Rising Popularity of Golf Tourism Will Fuel the Market Growth

Golf tourism refers to visits taken by people to play golf. Over the last five years, New Zealand has received approximately 300,000 golf tourists, as the country has more golf courses than other countries worldwide. According to the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), the United States is the most significant market for golf as a sport. Asia and the Middle East are experiencing the most vital growth rates worldwide in golf tourism. Increased infrastructure investments drive the golf sector's rise to support the game.

Increasing Number of Female Professional And Amateur Golfers Will Fuel the Market Growth

The revolution in women's golf has significantly expanded the global golf market due to increased female interest in the sport over the last decade. According to the National Golf Foundation, women account for more than 19% of all golfers worldwide, with New Zealand accounting for 25% of all female golf tourists. Golf is becoming more popular in Asia-Pacific region. Women in China, for example, prefer to spend their spare time golfing.

Growing Standards of Living of Middle-Class Population Will Fuels the Market Growth

As the middle-class population's income rises above necessities, they will have more money to spend on goods and services and leisure activities to improve their lives. As a result of the growing middle-class population, the consumer base of the golf equipment market share is expected to expand. The purchasing power of people in middle-income groups has increased due to economic expansion. The middle-class population in industrialized economies such as the United States, Japan, and Europe is predicted to expand at a 0.5% yearly rate compared to developing economies such as China and India, which are expected to grow at a 6% or higher annual rate. As a result of which, the demand for golf equipment is expected to rise from middle class population during the future years.

Expensive Golf Membership Will Hinder The Market Growth

Golf is not popular among the middle class because of the high prices of club memberships and courses, stifling market expansion. For example, the average fee for an 18-hole game is roughly USD115-USD125 per round, making it out of reach for most individuals. The high expense of new golf course building has also resulted in high pricing for older golf courses. This results in fewer registrations, limiting the market growth.

New Product Launches Will Boost The Market Growth

Companies are launching various products to capture the market. The best golf equipment companies, like Acushnet's (GOLF) Titleist and Topgolf Callaway Brands' (MODG) Callaway Golf continue to develop new high-tech golf clubs and other equipment to improve their players skills. Golfers returning to golf courses in search of right golf equipment’s turn to these companies for support. The TSR Metalwoods were the most recent new golf club launch from Titleist in 2023. The brand-new Titleist TSR metalwood lineup, which is made up of three different models and is packed with technology that can help every player of golf. In order to relocate weight and move the center of gravity (CG) lower and closer to the middle of the face, which offers greater flexibility and a higher launch, the extra weight that was located high and near the heel of the clubhead.

Another launch consists of The Callaway's Paradym Drivers (golf club), with its Triaxial Carbon crown and Forged Carbon sole that are 44% lighter than a titanium chassis, eliminates titanium from the club's body to promote exceptional weight distribution for maximum distance. Thus, with new product launches with various features will helps in expanding the market growth.
