The Turf Growing industry’s performance has fluctuated over the past few years owing to the effects of the pandemic and a mixed domestic economy, causing residential building construction activity to diminish. Increasing high-density living has played a role in limiting the industry's performance as multistorey urban developments have smaller garden areas per residence and require less turf. However, growth in institutional building construction has supported revenue expansion. Overall, revenue has grown at an annualised 1.0% over the past five years and is expected to total $295.1 million in 2023-24, when revenue will drop at an estimated 4.7% in line with falling dwelling commencements.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 1.0 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $295.1m in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
