☆News Summary: The Japanese Golf Equipment Industry (As of October 26, 2025)
While there is no specific "today's" news release available for the Japanese golf equipment industry as of October 26, 2025, a summary of recent trends and major topics from the autumn season is as follows.
The focus of the golf equipment industry during this period (Autumn 2025) centers around the following key points:
1. Expectations and Forecasts for Market Recovery
Market Size Recovery Forecast: According to research institutes, the domestic golf equipment market size (based on manufacturer sales) for 2025 is expected to increase year-on-year, recovering the ¥300 billion mark. This signals a reversal from two consecutive years of negative growth in 2023 and 2024, raising expectations for a return to growth. (Forecasts as of early October 2025)
2. Launch and Evaluation of "Autumn New Products" (Golf Clubs)
New Club Releases by Major Manufacturers: Numerous new golf clubs have been announced and released by major manufacturers in preparation for the autumn sales season.
TaylorMade: Launching products like the "P8CB" irons and "MG5" wedges, targeting both tour-level players and average golfers.
Bridgestone: Expanding its flagship models, such as the "BX" series.
Callaway: Introducing new products, including the "ELYTE" series (featuring models designed for the Japanese market) and wedges focused on enhanced spin performance. (Announcements and releases from August to October)
Irons Trend: Particularly, the new autumn irons are characterized by models that achieve both "aesthetics (easy-to-align design)" and "easy distance performance," making them strong candidates for golfers looking to replace their current sets. (As of late September 2025)
3. Changes in Golfer Demographics and Playing Style
Increased Activity among Older Generations: Participation rates in on-course play remain high, especially among men in their 70s and women in their 60s, making the senior demographic a crucial supporting pillar for the market.
Dichotomy between Driving Ranges and Golf Courses: While driving range usage is trending down due to the declining birthrate and aging population, golf course attendance remains relatively solid. The indoor golf market is also showing signs of growth. (Trends based on data from early 2025)
4. Diversification of Apparel and Gear
Cross-Industry Collaborations: In the golf apparel sector, highly fashionable products—such as collaborations with street brands and designers—continue to generate buzz. (Announcements from September to October 2025)
These trends suggest that the Japanese golf equipment industry is currently experiencing a surge, fueled by the solid demand from the senior population and the release of new autumn clubs featuring the latest technology, all set against the backdrop of an expected market recovery.
