Global Greenhouse Film Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Global Greenhouse Film Market was worth US$ 7 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 11 billion by 2029 and is predicted to register a CAGR of 7.70% from 2024 to 2029.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Greenhouse films are protective films that help create a controlled internal environment in the greenhouse for better crop performance and quality, regardless of the external environment. Greenhouse films are employed to cover the frame of crops grown in the greenhouse. They protect crops against bad weather such as heavy rains, strong winds, temperature variations, and snow. The selection of the film is based on the area where the crops are grown and their climatic conditions. These films can control the amount of sunlight, and temperature and provide physical protection to crops against wind, rain, and snow, among others. This creates the possibility of extending the rising season of fresh fruits, flowers, and vegetables throughout the year.

Greenhouse films are majorly used to increase the entering light content and reduce the entry of hazardous elements that can curb plant growth. They are an important aid in controlling the amount of sunlight, and therefore the temperature, inside a greenhouse and have therefore emerged as an important aid in the use of the greenhouse. Greenhouse films also help protect plants from adverse environmental conditions. The market is mainly driven by the rising call for greenhouses. Governments in many countries are struggling to prevent losses due to the improper use of greenhouse crops. Governments like India, Poland, and Canada encourage farmers to adopt different types of greenhouse films by offering subsidies for electricity and the resources employed in the greenhouse.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The escalating call for greenhouse crops, the increase in the area of ​​land under protected greenhouse agriculture, and the escalating emphasis on improving crop yields are driving the call for greenhouse films. The inability of the agricultural sector to meet the calls of the world's rising population has resulted in a steady expansion in the greenhouse market. By focusing on nutritious food and indoor agriculture to witness an increase due to land scarcity, the market can accumulate massive calls until 2023.

Escalating public spending on agricultural programs and maximizing food production by innovative means will likely generate a massive call from the greenhouse film market. Greenhouses provide a better quality of cultivation than conventional agriculture thanks to a higher level of expansion control, as well as the minimization of pest activity and the possibility of off-season cultivation through the use of artificial lights. Greenhouse agriculture It is also extremely efficient in terms of water conservation and offers a significant advantage in this regard compared to conventional agriculture. This is predicted to be a major driver for the global greenhouse film market during the foreseen period.

Technological advances in greenhouse films are also predicted to be a major driver for the worldwide market. UV-stabilized pressure greenhouse films, which provide improved protection for greenhouse-grown plants, are predicted to be extremely popular in the coming years, leading to the steady expansion in the worldwide greenhouse film market. However, the use of the greenhouse requires additional expenses, such as the temperature maintenance kit and the cost of labour, which slows down the expansion of the global greenhouse film market. However, the rising trend to produce off-season crops in the greenhouse should boost expansion in the coming years, as crops are a good source of income for farmers.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Greenhouse Film Market By Thickness

Among these, films having more than 150 microns in thickness have led the global marketplace for greenhouse films in the review period. This expansion is attributable to the increased adoption of thick films by farmers.

Global Greenhouse Film Market By Application

Among them, the flowers and ornamental segment dominated the worldwide greenhouse film market in 2018. Ornamental flowers and plants are grown mainly in greenhouses; therefore, its adoption is greater, which fuels the expansion of the segment.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Asia-Pacific dominated the greenhouse film market in 2023 and is predicted to continue to dominate during the foreseen period.

The region is predicted to expand with a healthy CAGR over the outlook period due to the availability of land to use greenhouses to grow out of season to meet the call of the population. The Asia-Pacific region is predicted to grow at the highest rate in the global greenhouse film market, in terms of both value and volume, from 2021 to 2026. In recent years, there has been an increase in the area of greenhouse lands in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, which has generated a great call for greenhouse films in the Asia-Pacific region. The escalating focus on improving productivity by area can only be achieved through the implementation of protected greenhouse agriculture, stimulating the market for greenhouse films in this area.
