Agricultural Films Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 – 2026
Agricultural films are made up of different resins including linear low density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate/ethylene butyl acrylate, and reclaims. These films provide a protective layer and suitable environment for crops, fruits, and vegetables. These protective films are placed over soil, wrapped around fodder, or covered over greenhouses in order to maintain the desired climatic conditions. Agricultural films are widely used in farming applications such as greenhouse, mulching, silage, and tunnels. These films are employed in modern farming. Agricultural films are gain popularity across the globe, as they help maximize the agriculture output.
Agricultural films are extensively utilized by rural farmers. They are also used in commercial agricultural practices. Demand for food items such as crops, fruits, and vegetables has been increasing due to the growth in the global population. Key regions across the globe are focusing on maximizing the agriculture output. Agricultural films are used to provide desirable climate, enhance soil nutrients, and maintain the value of nutrients. Usage of mulching, greenhouse, and silage bags increases the production rate by 20% to 35%. Furthermore, economies are shifting their focus on expanding the agriculture output. This is anticipated to propel the agricultural films market during the forecast period.
Developing economies in Asia Pacific such as China and India are major producers and consumers of agricultural film products. Agricultural films are employed to protect crops. Plastic mulch creates an artificial climate for crops, and this can be controlled elements require for crop growth such as, water, temperature, and nutrients. It is primarily applied in the horticultural sector to enhance production and quality of vegetables and fruits.

In terms of application, the global agricultural films market has been segmented into greenhouse, mulching, and silage. Greenhouse and mulching segments held more than 75% share of the market in 2017 due to their wide consumption in farming. Greenhouse films and tunnel provide climate monitoring features. Silage agricultural films protect food from fermentation and help maintain its nutrient value for a long time. Silage is primarily used to pack food with minimum oxygen content. It helps prevent spoilage.
