Global Agricultural Films Market 2024
Agricultural films are thin plastic materials used in various agricultural applications to improve crop quality, increase yield, and protect plants from environmental factors. These films are typically made from polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and they come in different types and colors. They have become an essential tool for modern agriculture, helping to increase crop yield, quality, and profitability.
The global agricultural films market is likely to register a CAGR of over 5.9% with an incremental growth of USD 5.6 billion during the forecast period 2024-2030. The increasing global population, coupled with rising demand for food, drives the need for higher agricultural productivity and efficiency. Agricultural films help farmers optimize growing conditions, protect crops, and increase yields, thereby contributing to food security and addressing the growing demand for agricultural products.
The adoption of intensive farming practices, such as protected cultivation in greenhouses and high tunnels, is also driving demand for agricultural films. These films provide controlled environments for crop growth, extend the growing season, and protect crops from adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases, allowing farmers to maximize production and profitability.
Additionally, climate change and unpredictable weather patterns pose challenges to agricultural production, leading to increased demand for technologies that mitigate risks and protect crops. Agricultural films help farmers adapt to changing climate conditions by providing insulation, frost protection, and moisture management, reducing crop losses due to extreme temperatures, drought, and flooding.
