Golf Cart Market Insights
Golf carts are primarily used in the golf courses and country clubs by golfers to carry their clubs and other equipment. Golf cart saves labor & time, lets golfers transport their own clubs, lightens work for caddies, and encourages smoother and more enjoyable rounds. Apart from the golf courses & country clubs, golf carts are also preferred for carrying less heavy items or passengers for short distances in hotels, airports, shopping malls, and entertainment places.

Recovery of the global economy and increasing the number of golf courses and country clubs are the major drivers of the golf cart market in the next five years. Additionally, increasing preference for the use of golf carts in hotels, resorts, airports, and shopping malls is likely to drive the golf cart sales during the same period.
