Market Drivers for Golf Carts:
- The demand for golf cart buggies in the Indian market is fueled by urbanisation. The country has witnessed rapid urbanisation over the course of the last two decades. The World Bank claims that more than 33% of the Indian population resided in urban areas in 2015 compared to 18% in 1965. Rapid urbanisation, along with increasing industrialisation, has pushed for a boost in mall culture, hi-tech, amusement and theme parks, and smart housing projects. This type of development is forecasted to expedite the demand for internal transportation to carry people and goods. In addition to this, golf carts are becoming a significant part of industries for internal transportation. Therefore, rapid urbanisation and industrialisation are anticipated to spruce up the market’s growth during the forecast period.
- Golf carts are battery-powered vehicles which come with a simple build design and a maximum speed of up to 31 km/h. Consequently, unlike electric rickshaw cargo, golf carts have taken over as people’s preferred mode of transportation in public spaces, including tourist attractions, railroad stations, and airports. Also, golf carts are simple to drive and don’t need to be operated by skilled personnel. Besides this, golf carts fall under the category of electric vehicles, which are typically not considered to be motor vehicles and have a power output of less than 250 W. Thus, golf carts in India are not subject to any transportation laws. Lenient government restrictions and simple golf cart manufacturing are predicted to propel growth in India’s golf cart market over the forecast period.
- Another major factor that has led to a recent shift towards golf carts from the top electric vehicle company is the use of more sustainable energy sources. In the past couple of years, electric golf carts have outpaced conventional gas-powered vehicles by a wide margin. Moreover, the recent surge in gasoline costs has made the use of electric golf carts produced by top electric golf buggy manufacturers much more practical.
Market Trends:
- Increasing inclination towards custom-made golf carts ( growing preference for custom golf carts)
One of the recent trends observed in the golf cart market in India is the rise in demand for customisation by end users regarding seating capacity and vehicle aesthetics. To leverage this opportunity, electric golf cart manufacturers have expanded their horizons and are offering customised solutions as per end-use applications. Right now, vintage, luxury and outdoor catering carts are in high demand in India. Rental services, hotels & resorts, and amusement parks are a few major end users who have a great demand for customisation.
- A rise in the number of golf cart rental services
Electric golf carts are becoming a popular means of internal transportation, which has led to an increase in the adoption of various events, including symposiums, exposes, exhibitions, trade shows, and weddings. However, the requirement for golf cart buggies in such events is restricted to some days or weeks, and most end users opt for rental services in these cases. Furthermore, event management firms prefer golf cart rentals to meet their internal transportation requirements.
