The increased participation in outdoor sports of the young population worldwide has paved the way for the construction of new stadiums and sports fields and, in turn, has supported the growth of the industry. The development of sports fields and stadiums for popular outdoor sports such as rugby and tennis in the region has helped the market grow.
Impact of covid-19 on Artificial Grass Market
The impact of COVID-19 on the economy is undoubtedly devastating. No sector has escaped its impact. Its impact on agriculture is complex and varied among the various segments that make up the agricultural value chain. This impact will reverberate throughout the economy and will last for more than a few months. The problems of agriculture at this time are mainly related to (a) the availability of labor and (b) the inability to access product markets due to problems in transportation and market operations. Lack of labor availability has hampered operations in many regions. However, cash crops are heavily affected as they tend to be more dependent on the migrant workforce. Consequently, the shortage of migrant labor has led to a sharp increase in daily crop wages. In many regions, the increase can reach 50%, making it non-remunerative for producers, because prices have collapsed due to lack of market access, including interrupted transport and border closures. This contrasts with regions where migrant workers returned home from urban areas, causing a sharp drop in farm wages.
