Executive Summary

Agricultural textiles encompass woven, nonwoven, and knit materials known for their biodegradability, UV resistance, and toxicity resistance. These textiles find applications in agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture for purposes such as covering plants, providing shade, controlling weeds and insects, and extending the growing season. Additionally, agricultural textiles are utilized in the fishing industry.

The main types of agricultural textiles products in the market include fishing nets, anti-hail nets, bird protection nets, mulch mats, shade nets, and various other products. Fishing nets, for instance, are meshes created by knotting a relatively thin thread and are used to catch fish. These nets can be categorized based on weaving types such as woven and nonwoven. Various fiber materials, including nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, natural fibers, biodegradable synthetic fibers, and others, are used in the production of these textiles. Applications of agricultural textiles extend to agriculture, horticulture and floriculture, aquaculture, and various other sectors.

The agricultural textiles market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.89 billion in 2023 to $12.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including the increase in global population, the impact of climate change, government subsidies supporting agricultural activities, growth in the agricultural sector, and overall economic growth. These combined influences have played a significant role in shaping the positive trajectory witnessed during that time.

The agricultural textiles market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.8 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the expansion of agricultural greenhouse and tunnel farming practices, a growing demand for organic farming and specialty crops, the adoption of precision agriculture techniques, and the rise of urban agriculture. Key trends expected during this period encompass the development of climate-resilient textiles, the use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials, the adoption of IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies for monitoring, advancements in nanotechnology, and collaborative efforts for innovation within the agricultural textiles industry.

Anticipated growth in the demand for agricultural products is set to drive the expansion of the agricultural textiles market in the foreseeable future. Agricultural textiles play a crucial role in safeguarding agricultural produce from birds and insects, as well as providing shade to plants, consequently enhancing their yield. Notably, the increased wheat demand in Africa, projected by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the US in June 2022, is expected to escalate the continent's wheat purchases to 54.0 million tons in 2022-23, marking a 5% increase from the preceding year. Similarly, there has been a significant global surge in rice demand in 2022, with an estimated exchange volume of 53.1 million tons. As per the Harvard Business Review, a rise in food demand ranging from 59% to 98% by 2050 further emphasizes the pivotal role of agricultural textiles in meeting escalating demands for agricultural products.

The burgeoning trend of sustainable agricultural practices is forecasted to be a driving force behind the growth of the agricultural textiles market. Embracing environmentally and socially responsible farming methods, sustainable agriculture aims to optimize long-term crop productivity while minimizing environmental impact and promoting equitable working conditions for farmers. Agricultural textiles present viable solutions to boost crop yields, diminish water usage, and counteract the adverse effects of climate change, thereby fostering the market's growth. As indicated in the 2023 Global Agricultural Productivity Report by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech, maintaining sustained productivity growth necessitates setting an annual growth rate goal of 1.91% for the Global Agricultural Productivity Index from 2021 to 2050.

Technological innovations are emerging as a significant trend propelling the agricultural textiles market. Key market players are actively introducing pioneering technologies such as the Agrolys flame-retardant (FR) groundcover, a novel variety of woven halogen-free groundcover. For instance, Beaulieu Technical Textiles, a Belgium-based manufacturer specializing in woven polypropylene fabrics, introduced the Agrolys flame-retardant (FR) groundcover. This unique product complies with the Class 1 NTA 8825 norm for fire safety, particularly suitable for use in greenhouses due to its highly light-reflective white ground cover. The increased diffuse light aids in stimulating the growth and coloration of various produce, positively impacting crop productivity and quality. Notably, Agrolys, being halogen-free, is completely safe for humans, exhibiting exceptional flame-retardant qualities, substantially minimizing fire and smoke spread during emergencies. The product also complies with both the NFPA 701 National Fire Protection Standards and the ENT13501-1 Class B S1 smoke containment standards.

Major players within the agricultural textiles market are actively pursuing innovative solutions, notably emphasizing the introduction of biodegradable insect nets. These specialized nets or mesh structures serve the purpose of shielding plants in agriculture and horticulture from insect infestations. They are crafted from materials engineered to naturally decompose and disintegrate over time through biological processes, such as microbial activity and exposure to environmental elements. An illustrative example occurred in January 2023 when Andermatt Home and Garden, a Switzerland-based company specializing in bio-based solutions employing microorganisms for insect pest management, unveiled InsectoNet. This plastic-free, biodegradable insect net, designed for gardens, is exclusively composed of uncomplicated corn starch, derived from corn kernels, enabling it to naturally biodegrade.
