Zoysia grass is a warm-season grass species that spreads laterally by stolons and rhizomes. It is commonly used in lawns due to the natural variation that exists within each species. There exist various species of zoysia grass and many crosses between each species, which results in a wide range of characteristics such as leaf texture, leaf colour, shade tolerance, cold tolerance, drought tolerance, mowing height, and many others. The various species of zoysia grass include:
The global zoysia seed market is expected to witness a significant increase in growth during the forecasted period of 2025-2030 due to several factors, such as the increasing awareness of the benefits of zoysia grass in applications such as lawns, golf courses, and many others.
The North American region is expected to witness significant growth in the zoysia grass seed market during the forecasted period. The factors that contribute to the increasing market growth are the increasing golf activities, which further increase the demand for durable and long-lasting grass such as zoysia grass. Zoysia seeds are known to have a wide range of benefits, ranging from enhanced durability to drought tolerance. The benefits of zoysia grass include low water consumption, no requirement for pesticides and other chemicals due to its high resistance to pests and diseases, reduced mowing due to its slower growth rate compared to other grass types, heat and cold tolerance traffic and wear tolerance due to its high-density sodding and self-repairing properties, animal waste tolerance, and erosion control. Due to the above properties, zoysia grass makes a good option for golf courses and other related sports activities that require grass. The United States accounts for the highest golf activity compared to the rest of the world. The National Golf Foundation states that the overall golf demographic has reached an estimated 123 million players, which accounts for one-third of the total US population. It has also been found that 26.6 million people have participated in playing golf on-course. The increasing relevance and the growth of the golf industry will further drive the growth in demand for zoysia grass seeds, due to their various properties, making them suitable for economic efficiency for businesses and establishments in the golf industry.
Furthermore, with the increasing relevance of golf in the region, the increasing innovations and development in the region drive the regional Zoysia grass seed market growth. For instance, in November 2021, North Carolina State University’s Turfgrass Breeding and Genetics program announced the release of Lobo Zoysiagrass, which has been selected by several researchers for the unusual combination of aggressive establishment and stress tolerance in the grass. The traits were confirmed in six-year-long multi-location trials under low input conditions. The product, Lobo Zoysia, has been exclusively licensed by Sod Solutions for commercial production and marketing. This product has a wide range of applications, which include home lawns, commercial landscapes, and golf courses across the southern United States. The product has been proven to require low maintenance and has several other features, which include fast establishment, drought tolerance, and colour and quality retention. When coupled with the increasing growth of the golf industry, the demand for zoysia seeds will be expected to witness significant growth during the forecasted period.
