Agricultural Textiles Market size was valued at US$ 14,603.8 million in 2023, growing at a 4.8% CAGR from 2024 to 2030. The market refers to the specialized textile products designed and used in agriculture to improve crop production and protect plants and soil. These textiles are made from various materials and serve diverse functions in modern agricultural practices. Agricultural textiles encompass a wide range of products, including shade nets, insect nets, frost protection fabrics, crop covers, mulch films, greenhouse films, bird nets, and ground covers, among others. Each of these textiles serves a specific purpose in agricultural applications, such as controlling temperature, managing pests, conserving water, preventing erosion, and providing physical protection to crops from adverse weather conditions. The growing global population is the primary driver of the  market. With the world's population continuously increasing, there is a rising demand for food, which puts pressure on farmers to increase agricultural productivity. Agricultural textiles play a crucial role in improving crop yield, protecting crops, and optimizing water usage.

Moreover, rising advancements in farming techniques also contribute to the growth of the agricultural textile market. Modern farming practices, such as greenhouse farming, hydroponics, and drip irrigation, rely heavily on agricultural textiles for climate control, water management, and crop support. These innovative techniques are driving the demand for agricultural textiles. Furthermore, the rise of vertical farming and urban agriculture presents opportunities for agricultural textiles in controlled-environment agriculture. Textiles like vertical planters, hydroponic grow bags, and shade nets can support the cultivation of crops in urban settings with limited space and resources. However, fluctuating prices of the raw materials that are used in the development of the high-standard and efficient nets hinder the growth of the agricultural textile market. Key manufacturers are continuously engaged in research and development to develop innovative solutions to cater the demand of rising agricultural sector. For instance, in July 2020, Beaulieu Technical Textiles introduced the first halogen-free, flame-retardant groundcover for greenhouses.
