Agricultural Films Market by Material, Film Type, Application

List of Tables

[184 Pages Report] The Agricultural Films Market size was estimated at USD 11.21 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 12.00 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.41% to reach USD 18.49 billion by 2030.

Agricultural films help to protect plants and crops in fields or greenhouses throughout their life cycle by reducing the crop spoilage risk associated with pests, weather, and weeds, improving the overall crop quality. Agricultural films adjust soil temperature, prevent moisture growth, enhance crop yield, and help fulfill the rising demand for food products, including fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the adoption of mulching films is rapidly increasing to minimize soil erosion, reduce evaporation, and prevent soil splashing on fruits or vegetables. The environmental concerns related to the disposal of plastic-based agricultural films restrain the adoption of these agricultural films. Furthermore, the ongoing innovations and advancements, such as the introduction of bio-based polymers and biodegradable films, are expected to increase the future scope for agricultural films.
