The 36-page Motocaddy Report draws on insights from more than 10,000 golfers across Australia, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan and South Korea. It forecasts the global electric buggy market to reach an estimated AU$393 million by 2030, representing a potential 49 per cent increase on 2023 figures.

According to the report, demand for electric buggies has doubled over the past five years, driven by increased participation, advances in technology and the growing influence of golf content creators.

The findings also point to continued growth in Australia, where golf has recorded five consecutive years of club membership growth.

More than half of surveyed golfers said using an electric buggy encouraged them to play more golf, while 76 per cent of owners reported feeling fitter and 69 per cent believed they played better golf when using one.

Australian golfers cited having more energy during a round as the biggest benefit, with 71 per cent saying the use of an electric buggy helped them conserve energy for hitting shots. Nearly one in five respondents said they wished they had started using an electric buggy sooner.

Motocaddy Marketing Director Oliver Churcher said the report reflected broader changes in how golfers approach the game.

"We're delighted to introduce this report on the Australian buggy market at a time when both the category and golf are seeing strong growth across the country," Churcher said.

"The combination of increased participation and younger, more fitness-conscious golfers entering the game has led to more players choosing to walk, while using technology to make the experience more enjoyable."

The report found push buggies remain the most popular method of transporting clubs among Australian golfers, accounting for 60 per cent of respondents. However, 30 per cent indicated they would be likely to rent an electric buggy if one was available.

Remote-control models continue to gain traction, with the report showing Australian golfers favour hands-free designs. Motocaddy said its REMOTE range has accounted for 87 per cent of Australian sales since the company launched direct-to-consumer operations in September last year.

Motocaddy CEO John Helas said continued technological development was helping drive interest in the category.

"Today's electric buggies feature longer-lasting batteries, intuitive remote controls and lightweight designs that make them easier to use and more enjoyable to own," Helas said.

The report also found most electric buggy users globally own rather than rent their equipment, while almost half indicated they would be likely to purchase another model in the future.

Motocaddy currently ranks among the most considered electric buggy brands in several major golf markets, including Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland and France.
