The fact that grass seeds are more readily dispersed than turf seeds, as well as being simple to store, lightweight to transport, and having a long storage life, all contribute to the significant benefits of grass seeds and the expansion of the grass seeds industry. Additionally, compared to turf grass seeds, grass seeds are more cost-effective, which is what is causing this market to flourish. For instance, turf grass seeds cost US$ 1.29 per square foot planted compared to grass seeds, which cost US$ 0.24 per square foot. As a result, the market for grass seeds is growing because to the low cost and simple installation connected with them. In terms of product categories, the cold season grass segment is anticipated to have strong growth and hold onto its leadership over the course of the forecast. Compared to cold season grasses, which take a year to establish themselves and start to flourish, warm season grasses take roughly three years. The rise of this market is mostly due to this.
Coherent Market Insights estimates that the size of the Global Grass Seed Market, which was estimated at $6.03 billion in 2016, is expected to increase at a CAGR of 3.1% between 2021 and 2030.
