Since 2024, municipal sports projects in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia have accelerated the upgrading of community football fields and school sports fields from traditional natural grass to a new generation of high-performance artificial turf.

The new generation system uses finer and softer PE monofilament fibers, an improved backing layer, and a three-dimensional drainage structure, allowing the field to be reused within 15–30 minutes after a heavy rain, significantly improving field turnover. Compared to natural grass, it can reduce irrigation water consumption by 70%–90% annually and significantly lower maintenance costs (mowing, fertilizing, aeration, and replanting).

Multiple contractors have reported that this type of field exhibits stable performance in terms of abrasion resistance, rebound performance, and ball speed consistency. It has been included in the standardized construction catalogs of grassroots football facilities in some countries, and demand is expected to continue to grow over the next three years.
