The nonwoven weed control fabric market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.21 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The forecast period growth is expected to be driven by a growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, an increasing adoption of landscaping and gardening activities, a rising awareness of soil health, the expansion of commercial agriculture, increased government support for eco-friendly farming solutions, and a heightened need for effective weed management solutions. Key trends anticipated during this period include advancements in biodegradable materials, improved ultraviolet (UV) protection, enhanced durability, the integration of smart technology for soil monitoring, the adoption of eco-friendly manufacturing processes, customization for various agricultural needs, and innovations in sustainable farming practices.
The growth of the agricultural industry is projected to drive the expansion of the nonwoven weed control fabric market in the future. The agricultural sector is expanding due to rising global demand for food, biofuels, and sustainable farming practices. Nonwoven weed control fabric provides a sustainable alternative to herbicides by preventing weed growth while preserving soil health, making it essential for enhancing crop yields and efficiency in farming. For example, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK government agency, reported a 3.4% increase in the agricultural sector from 2021 to 2022. As a result, the growth of the agricultural industry is fueling the demand for nonwoven weed control fabric.
Companies in the nonwoven weed control fabric market are focusing on developing innovative products made from recycled materials to improve sustainability and address the increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly options. Incorporating recycled materials aims to reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional synthetic fabrics by using recycled polypropylene or biodegradable alternatives, aligning with global initiatives to minimize plastic waste. For instance, in June 2023, Beaulieu Technical Textiles, a Belgium-based textile manufacturer, introduced RECOVER, a new line of nonwoven fabrics designed with sustainability in mind. This durable and eco-friendly weed control fabric is made from polypropylene (PP) containing 30% recycled content, reducing carbon emissions by up to 35%. It is resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light and can endure mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations. Its dense fabric effectively blocks light for optimal weed control, while its black-and-white design promotes thermal balance and facilitates easy plant placement.
