Agricultural Films Market Growth Fueled By Sustainable Farming Practices

Meticulous Research®— a leading global market research company, published a 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 2032.’
According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, by 2032, the Agricultural Films Market is expected to be worth around $23.39 billion, growing at a CAGR of about 6.9% during 2025–2032. The reasons behind this growth are not surprising. More people mean more food, and farming alone cannot keep up without new tools. On top of that, climate change and unpredictable weather make things harder. In other words, farmers need ways to protect crops and improve yields, and that’s where agricultural films are finding their place. These films come in different forms. Greenhouse films help create controlled conditions, while mulch films and agricultural mulches protect the soil and keep moisture locked in. For livestock feed, silage films and agricultural ...
... stretch wrap play an important role in storage and preservation. One of the more interesting trends right now is the move toward biodegradable agricultural film. It is gaining ground mostly in developed regions, where stricter environmental rules and consumer demand for greener solutions are shaping choices. Of course, the market has its downsides. Installation is expensive, and regulations on plastics are getting tighter each year. Plastic waste is also a sticking point that keeps coming up. At the same time, though, there are opportunities worth noting. The spread of nano greenhouses and the push for biodegradable options could give stakeholders plenty of room for growth over the next decade.
Key Players
Some of 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 Álvarez 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).
The agricultural films market is segmented based on type (greenhouse films {classic greenhouse films, macro tunnels/walking tunnels, and low tunnels}, mulching films {black mulches, transparent or clear mulches, and other mulches}, silage films {silage stretch wraps, silage sheets, and silage bags}, and other applications), raw material (conventional plastics {linear low-density polyethylene [LLDPE], low-density Polyethylene [LDPE], high-density polyethylene [HDPE], polypropylene [PP], and other conventional plastics}), biodegradable plastics {thermoplastic starch, polyhydroxyalkanoates [PHA], polylactic acid [PLA], and other biodegradable plastics}), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.
Based on Type, Mulching Films Dominate the Agricultural Films Market in 2025
In 2025, mulching films are expected to hold the largest share of the Agricultural Films Market. This is not surprising when you look at the benefits. These mulch films keep weeds from spreading, reduce water loss, help regulate soil temperature, and ultimately boost crop yields. On top of that, they cut down on pesticide use and help conserve water — both of which line up with the push for more sustainable farming. Farmers in many regions see these advantages not just as environmental gains but also as cost savings, which explains why agricultural mulches have become so widely adopted. At the same time, the greenhouse films segment is set to grow quickly through 2025–2032. What is driving this rise is a mix of practical and economic factors: relatively low installation costs, the ability to protect soil, better control over climate conditions, and improved pest and disease management. The durability of modern greenhouse films also makes them attractive compared to older solutions. Together with the increasing role of biodegradable agricultural film, as well as the use of silage films and agricultural stretch wrap for crop and forage protection, greenhouse applications are expected to become one of the most dynamic areas in this market.
Based on Raw Material, Conventional Plastics Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share
Based on raw material, the conventional plastics segment is set to hold the largest share of the Agricultural Films Market in 2025. The reasons are straightforward. Conventional plastics are cheap, easy to source, and very reliable. They also bring strong mechanical properties good flexibility, resistance to cracking, UV protection, and high tensile strength. In fact, these films can even be made thinner while still handling environmental stress and showing solid resistance to chemicals. Because of these qualities, conventional plastics are still the go-to choice for many farm applications. They are widely used in greenhouse films, mulch films, and agricultural mulches for crop protection. They also play a big role in forage storage through silage films and agricultural stretch wrap. Although biodegradable agricultural film is gaining attention in developed regions, thanks to sustainability rules and consumer pressure, plastic-based films remain dominant mainly due to their cost-effectiveness and proven performance on a large scale.
Based on Geography, Asia-Pacific Expected to Dominate with Strong Agricultural Film Adoption
Based on geography, the Agricultural Films Market is split into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Out of these, it is Asia-Pacific that really stands out in 2025, holding the largest share. It is not hard to see why. Populations are rising fast, food demand keeps climbing, and farmers are under pressure to grow more with less. That is where mulch films, agricultural mulches, and greenhouse films come in they help manage soil, hold moisture, and boost crop yields. Take China and India, for example. Both have government support in place, whether through subsidies or export policies, and that makes it easier for farmers to adopt these modern techniques. Add in the push for high-value fruits and vegetables, and demand for silage films and agricultural stretch wrap is only going up. Now, biodegradable agricultural film is still a smaller piece of the puzzle here. It costs more, and conventional plastics are easier to find. But with plastic waste becoming a bigger concern, biodegradable options will gain ground over the next few years.
