Greenhouse Film Market Size

ID: MRFR//1192-CR | 197 Pages | Author: Priya Nagrale| December 2018

The global greenhouse films market is witnessing a transformation driven by technological advancements and innovation in film materials. The adoption of new-generation greenhouse films, leveraging advanced seven-layer technology, is a significant trend that promises substantial growth prospects for manufacturers. These films offer enhanced durability, thermal regulation, and light transmission, catering to the evolving needs of modern agriculture.

A prominent trend shaping the market is the shift towards integrated pesticide management and the establishment of high-tech plant factories. This transition aligns with the industry's focus on sustainable agriculture and efficient crop protection measures. Farmers are increasingly integrating advanced film solutions that offer not just protective covering but also aid in pest management, ensuring optimal crop growth and yield.

Manufacturers within the global greenhouse films market are actively engaged in product development and expanding their product portfolios to meet the diverse needs of the agriculture sector. Continuous efforts toward creating films that are UV-resistant, possess high tensile strength, and offer optimal light transmission characteristics are driving innovations in the industry.

However, despite the market's positive trajectory, challenges persist. A significant hurdle is the lack of awareness and adoption of protected cultivation practices, particularly in countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand, and South Korea. The limited understanding of the benefits and advantages of greenhouse films in these regions is impacting the demand trajectory. This gap in awareness presents an obstacle in the widespread adoption of greenhouse films and could potentially hinder market growth in these areas.

To overcome these challenges, industry players are investing in educational initiatives and outreach programs aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of protected cultivation using greenhouse films. Efforts to educate farmers and stakeholders about the potential advantages, including increased yield, resource efficiency, and better crop quality, are crucial to unlocking the full potential of the greenhouse films market in regions with lower adoption rates.

Overall, while technological advancements and product innovations continue to drive growth, addressing the awareness gap remains pivotal for the global greenhouse films market to realize its full growth potential in all regions.

Greenhouse Films Market Trends




  • Growing need for nursery-cultivated crops is driving the market growth




The growing need for nursery-cultivated crops, expanding property area following greenhouse-maintained agriculture, and increasing focus on improving farming yield drives the greenhouse film market over the forecast period. Population growth across the globe has compelled increased agricultural output. This rising disposable income in emerging countries has caused enhanced dietary changes, thus surging the  food demand. The yearly land utilization for agricultural crop production has impacted soil nutrient content. This factor drives the Market CAGR.


Additionally, as the cultivated area increases in the protected area, products such as U.V. light are added, and R&D activities are focused on creating different types of greenhouse films. Anti-radiation, NIR blocking, fluorescent, and superheat. U.V. protection film protects plants from diseases and pests. Plastic film used as a greenhouse cover has been developed as a new material with optical and optical properties. Nano greenhouses increase efficiency in the temporary harvest. Porous polycarbonate is the greenhouse coating raw material called NANO. Furthermore, as the cultivated area increases in the protected area, products such as U.V. light are added, and R&D activities are focused on creating different types of greenhouse films. Anti-radiation, NIR blocking, fluorescent, and superheat. U.V. protection film protects plants from diseases and pests. This film prevents the U from spreading. The rays are irradiated in the greenhouse to reduce the growth of pests and diseases. Near-infrared blocking film blocks radiation and promotes plant growth. The fluorescent film only allows 300 nm-700 nm spectral radiations to enter the greenhouse. Therefore, technological advances such as soil fumigation, drip irrigation, and crop aeration should offer job opportunities. Thus, driving the Greenhouse Films market revenue.
