Golf Cart Market Report 2025

The golf cart market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.72 billion in 2024 to $1.81 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, the rise in popularity of golf courses, the increase in industrialization, and the rise in sustainable energy solutions.

The golf cart market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.3 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid urbanization, rising government support, the increasing aging population, and growing international and national tourism industries. Major trends in the forecast period include strategic partnerships and collaborations among market players, increased focus on electric golf carts, and focus on the development of customizable golf carts.

A rise in the use of golf carts in tourism is expected to drive the growth of the golf cart market in the future. Tourism, which involves travel for commercial purposes, often sees golf carts employed by visitors for transportation to various attractions, such as hotels, theme parks, zoos, and museums, due to their comfort, affordability, and eco-friendliness. Consequently, the increasing utilization of golf carts in tourism will boost demand in the golf cart market. For instance, in November 2023, the Office of National Statistics, a UK-based national statistical institute, reported that overseas visits to the UK rose from 2.8 million in May 2022 to 3 million in June 2022, with tourists spending a total of $3.42 billion (£2.7 billion) in the UK. Thus, the growing use of golf carts in tourism is driving the expansion of the golf cart market.

Rapid urbanization is anticipated to drive the growth of the golf cart market. In urban areas, golf carts are increasingly utilized for local transportation within gated communities, residential neighborhoods, and retirement communities. This trend towards urbanization fosters the development of environments where golf carts serve as a practical and eco-friendly mode of transport. For instance, in April 2023, the World Bank reported that 56% of the global population, approximately 4.4 billion people, live in urban areas. This trend is expected to persist, with the urban population projected to more than double by 2050. Consequently, the rapid growth of urbanization is likely to generate significant demand for the golf cart market.

Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the golf cart market. Leading companies in this sector are innovating to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in November 2022, Neuron Energy Pvt Ltd., an India-based provider of Electric Vehicle solutions, launched the Adler line of electric golf carts. This new initiative aims to address the demand for personal transportation, freight, leisure, and medical assistance. The golf carts will be powered by Neuron's lithium-ion batteries, equipped with a GPRS tracker and remote assistance. The GPRS vehicle tracking system operates alongside GPS, recording location data and transmitting it to the Internet.

Golf cart manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing the production of battery-powered electric golf carts to comply with emission standards and enhance their offerings to align with current golfing norms. Electric golf carts not only reduce emissions but also align with the environmental goals of golf clubs. For instance, in May 2023, Mansory, a Germany-based automaker that produces golf carts, introduced an electric golf cart that is authorized for use on public roads in both the United States and Europe. The cart is powered by a 10.24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, providing a range of over 50 miles (80 km) on a single charge, and its electric motor generates 10.7 horsepower (8 kilowatts).

In June 2022, Club Car, a US-based manufacturer of small-wheel, zero-emissions electric vehicles, acquired Garia A/S for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, the company aims to enhance its go-to-market strategies and seize new opportunities in areas such as last-mile delivery and street-legal utilities. Garia A/S is a Denmark-based manufacturer of electric low-speed street-legal vehicles and golf carts.
