Description

North America Golf Cart Market was valued at USD 1.83 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2034.

Growth across the region is fueled by the increasing preference for electric transportation, the expansion of recreational and commercial facilities, and the broader use of golf carts in residential, industrial, and hospitality settings. Communities, educational campuses, industrial hubs, and resort operators are prioritizing mobility solutions that improve safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency. This shift is accelerating the adoption of modern electric fleets equipped with advanced capabilities. Connectivity and digital technologies are becoming central to fleet management, with telematics, GPS navigation, integrated diagnostics, battery monitoring, and predictive maintenance transforming how carts are deployed and maintained. These digital tools enhance route efficiency, extend vehicle lifespan, and streamline communication between operators and maintenance teams. Additional innovations such as solar charging, autonomous driving support, and improved safety technologies continue to contribute to market expansion and modernize mobility ecosystems across North America.

The 2-seater category held a 58% share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2034. This segment remains popular due to its compact design, affordability, and ease of operation. Its widespread use across recreational, residential, and commercial areas reflects consumer demand for reliable, energy-efficient options with enhanced battery performance, comfortable seating, and intelligent monitoring features.

The electric segment represented a 61% share in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% through 2034. Its leadership is supported by strong adoption of cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective mobility solutions. With advancements in lithium-ion platforms, smart charging systems, and connected fleet technologies, electric models continue to outperform conventional alternatives, strengthening their position in both leisure and utility applications.

United States Golf Cart Market held a 95% share in 2024 and generated USD 1.73 billion. The country’s dominance is linked to its extensive adoption of advanced electric carts, its large base of recreational and residential developments, and its broad commercial use cases. Growing interest in high-capacity electrical systems, connected fleet tools, and modular battery integration, combined with national initiatives promoting low-emission mobility, continues to bolster market momentum.

Major companies participating in the North America Golf Cart Market include Suzhou Eagle Electric Vehicle Manufacturing, EZ-GO, Cushman, GEM Electric Vehicles, Yamaha, Marshell Green Power, John Deere, Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric Vehicle Technology, GUANGZHOU LANGQING ELECTRIC CAR, and Club Car.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
