Agriculture Films Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis By Film Type (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene, Low-Density Polyethylene, High-Density Polyethylene, Reclaim, Polyamide, Polypropylene, PVC & Others), By Material (Stainless Steel, Fiber Reinforced Composites, Engineered Plastics, Aluminium Alloys & Others), By Application (Mulch Films, Greenhouse Films, Geomembrane Film, Silage & Others), and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Agriculture Films Market size was valued at US$ 12,498.6 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2024-2030.  Agriculture films are specialized films made of plastic films, used in different agricultural applications for crop enhancement and protection of crops it is used in various processes including, mulch films, greenhouse films, silage films, film fumigation, and biodegradable films. The key market drivers of the agricultural films market are increased use of greenhouse farming, increased application of mulch films which help retain soil moisture and also control weeds, adoption of innovative films technologies such as UV resistant and biodegradable agriculture films, rise in support from government by providing subsidies for the agriculture sector. Moreover, agricultural films provide a protective barrier for crops against extreme weather events such as heavy rain, droughts, or frost, making them essential in regions facing climate volatility.

However, raw material costs of films, limited durability of films, complex procedure of disposal of agriculture films, lack of knowledge about benefits of agriculture films in developing area are negatively impact the growth of the market over the forecast years. The key opportunities that lie in the agricultural films market are biodegradable films and novel materials that will help people adopt more eco-friendly applications. The key trends of agriculture films market comprises smart farming technologies and precision agriculture that have market requirements on the manufacturers to innovate and diversify their products. The market for agriculture films is growing at a very high rate, especially due to the rise of emerging needs for higher agricultural productivity and further concerns for sustainable agricultural practices.

Agriculture Films Market Key Developments:

  • In January 2024, RKW Group introduced film and net solutions with non-wovens for the whole supply chain at Fruit Logistica expo in Berlin. The company, through its booth, presented a whole chain of products from plant cultivation to packing and transport.
  • In October 2023, Armando Alvarez Group and RedSea entered into an exclusive agreement to develop and distribute new smart greenhouse covers, these new greenhouse covers developed by the advanced Iyris technology developed by RedSea.
  • In October 2019, Coveris, an experienced manufacturer of high quality agricultural and industrial films has acquired new generation 5-layer and 3-layer extrusion lines to strengthen its position in high-quality stretch films for agricultural/silage and industrial use

Agriculture Films Market Dynamics

The agriculture films market is growing due to the trends influencing the agriculture films market which reflect the evolutions within the agricultural sector. The most obvious one is an increase in biodegradable films, coupled with awareness about environmental sustainability. For instance, developing natural materials made of starch and PLA polylactic acid that decompose over time, thus reduces plastic waste in farms. A new trend, which can potentially intensify, is smart farming technologies such as sensors and IoT equipment.

Such technologies may be used to make agricultural films more effectively. Moreover, the demand for greenhouse films is on the rise as well, as more producers are searching to prolong the growing season and therefore improve crop quality. This is reflected in high-end greenhouse films, where the incorporation of UV inhibitors and anti-condensation properties enhance better light management and plant health.
