Golf and high-quality landscaped developments create demand for specialized maintenance equipment despite water constraints. Bernhard & Company expanded its turf-equipment distribution relationship with Saudi Arabia-based Delta Turf Care across the UAE, Oman and Bahrain, while Golf Saudi continues to develop and upgrade golf facilities in the Kingdom.

 

What Could Limit Turf Care Equipment Market Growth?

Equipment cost remains the main constraint. Battery-powered fleets require chargers and additional batteries, while robotic systems need suitable sites and setup. Smart irrigation can also require controller, sensor and network upgrades. These costs may keep conventional equipment in service longer, particularly among smaller landscaping businesses and homeowners. Water restrictions can create another challenge because some drought-prone locations may reduce maintained grass areas rather than invest in additional turf.

 

Even with these limitations, the market is shifting toward equipment that reduces repetitive work and improves control over energy and water use. Electric equipment, robotic mowing and irrigation systems grow faster than conventional gasoline equipment in the supplied forecast, indicating that technology upgrades will contribute more to revenue expansion than simply increasing the amount of turf being maintained.
