Global Agricultural Films Market Size is valued at USD 13.4 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 28.0 Bn by the year 2034 at a 7.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
The rise is predicted to be fueled by rising food demand from population growth and an increased desire for high agricultural output. The market for the product is projected to increase due to factors including the growing demand for high-quality crops and the shrinking amount of arable land. Additionally, the demand for agricultural films is expected to experience a boost in the coming period due to advancements in the industry, such as the introduction of UV-blocking, fluorescent, NIR-blocking, and ultra-thermic films. The growth of the sector may be hindered shortly by environmental concerns surrounding product disposal and the stringent regulations charged by governments on the use of plastics and polythene.
Nonetheless, the emergence of biodegradable and bio-based polymer films is expected to create favorable opportunities for industry players in the next few years, given their eco-friendliness, which is increasingly popular in developed regions. Furthermore, technological advancements in horticulture and producing particle, multi-layer, and UV protection films to increase agricultural output will shortly drive the demand for agricultural films. However, the fluctuations in petrochemical prices caused by the uncertain global demand-supply situation could restrict market expansion.
The Agricultural Films market is segmented based on product type and end-use application. Product type includes LLDPE, LLDP, reclaim, EVA, HDPE and others. The market is segmented by end-use application into Greenhouse films, classic greenhouse, macro tunnel, low tunnel, mulch films, clear films, black mulches and others.
The LLDPE category will hold a significant share of the global market due to advancements in thermal properties, high tensile strength, and increased durability. This growth is likely to be driven by the emergence of biodegradable products. While linear low-density polyethene (LLDPE) is commonly utilized in agriculture films, it may only sometimes maintain its dominance in the market. LLDPE possesses outstanding mechanical features, such as remarkable flexibility and puncture resistance, making it an ideal option for various agricultural purposes. It is extensively employed in End-use Applications such as greenhouse covers, silage bags, mulch films, and others that require high strength and durability.
The mulch films segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global Agricultural Films market. In dry areas where maintaining crops is vital, mulch films are employed. The growth is projected to be fueled by protecting crops from pests, a limited supply, wise water usage, and high agricultural output. Additionally, agricultural films help to reduce the amount of time needed for crop growth as well as increase crop yield and quality. It is projected that the development of greenhouse agriculture in Western Europe, the Middle East, and Asia will positively affect market expansion. The category is anticipated to grow due to rising horticulture and flower production demand and variable weather patterns.
The Asia Pacific Agricultural Films market is expected to report the most increased market share in revenue soon. Due to the swift increase in population, particularly in India and China, and the consequent rise in per capita food consumption, there is a limitation on the expansion of cultivation areas as the availability of arable lands continues to decline. This has resulted in the emergence of controlled agriculture, leading to a surge in demand for agricultural films.
The interest of producers in protected agriculture is on the rise in Asia-Pacific, with China being a significant player. The region's agricultural operations market is expanding, supported by fertile land in countries like India and China. The government's initiatives to encourage sustainable products in agriculture have also contributed to a substantial surge in the market for agricultural films. In addition, North America is projected to increase in the global Agricultural Films market.
The rise in demand for agricultural films and bonding industries in the region can be attributed to the growing population and the need for controlled agriculture, which are expected to propel the market throughout the forecast period. The increasing population and rising per capita food consumption pressure agricultural production. The reduction in arable land limits the expansion of cultivated areas. Thus, to fulfil the needs of the expanding population, the adoption of managed agriculture practices is crucial.
