The Japan Artificial Turf Market encompasses the manufacturing and supply of synthetic grass surfaces that mimic the appearance and use of natural grass in various applications, including use as sports fields, residential and commercial landscaping, playgrounds, and recreation facilities. Artificial turf is often made of synthetic materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and/or nylon. These materials provide greater durability and a lower level of maintenance than does natural grass, which must be watered, mowed, and fertilized regularly to ensure consistent performance year-round.

The Artificial Turf in Japan are backed by government support, including the Urban Green Space Act and related policies for green infrastructure promote the expansion and improvement of the quality of the Urban Green Space in cities, and support the use of artificial turf in parks and recreation areas as part of a sustainable urban planning strategy. In addition, one of the Urban Green Space objectives for Japan is to create an additional 1,000 hectares of special-designated conservation areas for green space in parks and recreation areas by 2030. This goal is aligned with the establishment of agricultural land use and the overall goal of providing a sustainable managed green landscape to support the resource-based economy and ensure the sustainable use of the environment in Japan.

As technology advances, Japanese artificial turf providers are now using newly improved fiber materials that closely resemble the look and feel of natural grasses while providing greater drainage capabilities, higher levels of UV resistance, and increased shock absorbing properties to keep athletes safer and to ensure that the product lasts longer. Manufacturers have also developed advanced backing systems and infill technologies for the turf products, which will add additional durability, playability, and comfort to the product, along with incorporating environmentally friendly materials, thus improving sustainability and performance.
