Agricultural Films Market to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2024-2028
The Agricultural Films Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 5095.8 million. Agricultural films, utilized extensively in modern farming, offer significant benefits such as maintaining soil temperature, reducing moisture loss, and enhancing crop yield by inhibiting weed growth. However, the environmental consequences of disposing plastic agricultural films, primarily made of polyethylene, pose substantial risks. These films, when discarded, can contaminate soil and water sources, leading to pollution and potential harm to aquatic life and terrestrial organisms. Furthermore, the burning of these waste materials releases hazardous gases into the atmosphere, posing health hazards such as respiratory diseases and cancer. In response to these challenges, farmers are increasingly adopting eco-friendly alternatives, such as biodegradable mulch films. These innovative solutions provide comparable benefits to plastic mulch films while mitigating environmental concerns through biodegradation.

Technavio analysts predict that the LLDPE subsegment will lead the Type segment during 2024 and 2028 In the agricultural sector, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) plays a pivotal role due to its unique properties. This soft and flexible material, which boasts an opaque appearance, exhibits superior impact strength, tensile strength, puncture resistance, and elongation compared to Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). In the packaging industry, LLDPE is extensively utilized in packaging films due to its robustness and durability. Furthermore, it is widely employed for the production of grocery bags, trash bags, and shrink-wrap films. LLDPE's versatility extends beyond packaging applications, as it is also a preferred choice in agriculture for irrigation and water storage. LLDPE water tanks are UV-stabilized and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use. The combination of their lightweight nature, ease of transportation, and desirable features, such as high impact resistance, good workability, electrical insulation properties, and excellent chemical resistance, significantly drives the demand for LLDPE in the global agricultural films market during the forecast period.
