Agricultural Films Market by Type (Greenhouse Films, Mulching Films, Silage Films), Raw Material (Conventional Plastics {LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE}, Biodegradable Plastics {Thermoplastic Starch, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acid})-Global Forecast to 2031

According to a new market research report titled, 'Agricultural Films Market by Type (Greenhouse Films, Mulching Films, Silage Films), Raw Material (Conventional Plastics {LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE}, Biodegradable Plastics {Thermoplastic Starch, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acid})-Global Forecast to 2031,' by Meticulous Research(R), the agricultural films market is projected to reach $23.39 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2024 to 2031. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the agricultural films market across five major geographies, current market trends, size, and recent developments, and the forecast for 2031.

Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and an in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report conducts the impact analysis of the key industry drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges. The growth of the agricultural films market is driven by the increasing food demand owing to the rise in population, adverse effects of global warming and changing climate conditions, growing demand for high-quality food crops, and rising innovations in agricultural films. However, the high cost associated with the installation and stringent environmental regulations on plastic usage are restraining the growth of this market.

Moreover, the rising number of nano greenhouses and the growing number of biodegradable films in developed regions are expected to generate significant growth opportunities for the stakeholders in this market. On the other hand, environmental concerns and plastic waste pose major challenges to market growth.

Key Players

The key players operating in the agricultural films market are Berry Global Group, Inc. (U.S.), Coveris Flexibles UK Ltd. (U.K.), RKW SE (Germany), BASF SE (Germany), Ab Rani Plast Oy (Finland), Exxon Mobil Corporation (U.S.), POLIFILM GmbH (Germany), PLASTIKA KRITIS S.A. (Greece), Armando Alvarez S.A. (Spain), Novamont SpA (Italy), Groupe Barbier (France), Sigma Plastics Group (U.S.), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Agripolyane (France), and Trioworld Industrier AB (Sweden).

Based on type, the agricultural films market is segmented into greenhouse films, mulching films, silage films, and other types. In 2024, the mulching films segment is expected to account for the largest share of the agricultural films market. The segment's large market share is mainly attributed to its benefits, such as inhibiting the growth of weeds, preventing moisture loss, regulating soil temperature, and improving crop yield. In addition, mulching films minimize the need for pesticides and conserve water, which aligns with sustainable and environmentally friendly farming techniques. Farmers across a variety of agricultural landscapes appreciate the economic and environmental benefits of mulching films, which has led to their widespread use.

However, the greenhouse films segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period of 2024-2031. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly driven by its low installation costs, increased soil protection, controlled climatic conditions, control of pests and diseases, and the high durability of greenhouse films.

Based on raw material, the agricultural films market is segmented into conventional plastics and biodegradable plastics. In 2024, the conventional plastics segment is expected to account for the largest share of the agricultural films market. The segment's large market share is mainly attributed to its easy availability, low cost, excellent mechanical properties, flexibility, resistance to cracking and UV rays, and high tensile strength. In addition, it can be employed to make thinner films with better environmental stress and good resistance to chemicals.

Based on geography, the agricultural films market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to account for the largest share of the agricultural films market. The large share of this regional market is mainly attributed to the increasing population, growing awareness about the benefits of modern farming techniques, rising demand for food, favorable regulations & government policies on agricultural produce & trade, and growing emphasis on high-value and export-oriented cultivation of fruits & vegetables.
