The top three emerging trends driving the global golf cart market according to Technavio research analysts are:

- Multipurpose usage of golf carts
Technologically advanced golf carts
Golf equipment manufacturers are launching modern and customized golf carts and using advanced technologies, such as computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing for developing and modifying their product designs. Manufacturers are increasingly offering solar powered golf carts with high-end accessories, such as golf robots, launch monitors, and remote control capabilities.
“Country clubs and public golf courses have realized that golf carts play an important role in bringing in new clientele. This has resulted in the procurement of golf carts that offer luxurious amenities, including hole-to-hole GPS trackers and apps that help players select the best clubs for each position on the course,” says Brijesh Kumar Choubey, one of the lead analysts at Technavio for outdoor gear research.
Growing popularity of FootGolf
FootGolf is a new game that is a combination of golf and football. It is quickly gaining popularity across the globe, with the US showing the quickest growth. The World's first Pro-Am FootGolf Tour saw participation from around 100 teams from various geographies. FootGolf has helped many golf courses to revive themselves financially, thereby indirectly contributing to the growth of the global golf cart market.
Multipurpose usage of golf carts
“Golf carts are versatile and energy-efficient vehicles, which can be used outside the golf course for commuting purposes. Manufacturers of golf carts are quickly capitalizing on this opportunity by adding features such as hard doors, stereos, and even heaters and defrosters to make these carts suitable for use on public roads,” says Brijesh.
In the US, the elderly population finds golf carts a good commute option. In India, the government is introducing golf carts in public spaces to aid the differently-abled and elderly population with their daily commutes. Such initiatives will bring in significant revenue to the market through the forecast period.
