Major Agricultural Films Market Drivers

The factors driving the global agricultural films market due to increasing in the world population which results in growing demand for food especially in Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and other Asian countries, owing to rapid population development in this region. For instance, according to UN, in 2021 the world population stands at 7.7 billion and it’s expected to reach around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 10.9 billion in 2100. Additionally, increasing population further increase demand for food which puts pressure on agricultural productivity. An increase in demand for agricultural products can be achieved by adopting mulching, greenhouse, and silage technology. Agricultural films help in increasing agricultural productivity and improving crop quality minimizing soil erosion, increasing soil temperature, and others.

Improvement in production with quick harvesting is one of the key factors for plastic greenhouses. It protects vegetables from the effects of wind, frost, and rain, it ensures uniformly high quality and helps the vegetables, fruit and flowers to ripen faster. Moreover, modern plastic film can be adjusted specifically to many field-grown vegetables and fruits’ unique light and temperature requirements. At the same time, plastic film helps in reducing water consumption. Furthermore, it has water repellent properties, protects the plant from direct sunlight, and prevents other external conditions, resulting in lower energy and labour costs. Increasing use of this as a cover of the greenhouse will boost the growth of this market.

Restraint in the Agricultural Films Market

The installation cost of agricultural films is expensive as it requires proper framing, which all the farmers are unable to adopt. This material is a derivative of plastic which is harmful to the environment. Most of the farmers do not dispose of the plastic material properly, which creates a hazard for wildlife and humans. These key factors have augmented the negative growth of this segment. Moreover, government concerns related to environmental protection and resource conservation have hampered the growth of this market.
