Agriculture Nets Global Market Report 2026

Agriculture nets are protective covers or netting materials made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). They serve various purposes such as safeguarding crops from pests, insects, and birds, as well as providing shade and regulating temperature and humidity levels to enhance crop growth.

The primary types of agriculture nets include shading nets, anti-hail nets, anti-insect nets, windbreak nets, and others. Shading nets, also known as shade cloth or shade netting, are woven or knitted fabrics made from materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other synthetic materials. These nets play a vital role in agriculture by providing optimal temperature and humidity conditions for the proper growth of crops. The major materials used in agriculture nets include plastic, metal, rubber, and others, available in woven and non-woven forms. These nets are distributed through various sales channels such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty stores, departmental stores, independent stores, hardware stores, and farm equipment stores. Agriculture nets find applications in animal husbandry, greenhouses, terrace gardening, fencing, building repairs and construction, horticulture, and floriculture.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the agriculture nets market by increasing costs of imported HDPE and polypropylene raw materials, specialized weaving machinery, and UV treatment additives used in net production. Agricultural regions in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are most affected due to reliance on imported polymers, while Europe faces higher production input costs. These tariffs are increasing net prices for farmers and distributors. However, they are also encouraging local polymer processing, domestic net manufacturing, and innovation in recyclable and bio-based agricultural net materials.

Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of climate-resilient crop protection nets, rising demand for uv-stabilized and durable netting materials, growing use of shade regulation solutions in horticulture, expansion of customized netting for greenhouses, enhanced focus on crop yield protection.

The rising demand for food is expected to drive the expansion of the agriculture net market in the coming years. Food is any substance consumed by living organisms to supply the nutrients and energy required for growth, maintaining health, and performing bodily functions. Agricultural nets are utilized in various ways across farming fields to protect crops and enhance the development of plants grown for food production. For example, in September 2025, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), a U.S.-based federal agency, total U.S. food expenditures (food-at-home + food-away-from-home) increased to US$ 2.58 trillion in 2024, up from approximately US$ 2.48 trillion in 2023. Consequently, the growing demand for food is fueling the growth of the agriculture net market.

Major companies operating in the agriculture net market are emphasizing technological innovations, such as durable and eco-friendly woven groundcovers, to address the growing need for long-lasting weed management solutions with minimal environmental impact. Durable and sustainable woven groundcovers are high-strength, interlaced polypropylene (PP) fabrics designed to prevent weed growth while providing extended durability and integrating recycled materials to reduce environmental footprint. For example, in June 2023, Beaulieu Technical Textiles, a Belgium-based technical fabric manufacturer, introduced RECOVER, a pioneering groundcover for nursery use. RECOVER contains 30% post-industrial recycled PP, resulting in up to 35% lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional alternatives. Its dense black-and-white weave ensures effective weed suppression, offers UV resistance up to 900 kLy, and maintains dimensional stability across different temperatures. The material provides high friction resistance for mechanical strength, and its thermally balanced construction allows precise plant placement, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor horticultural applications.
