Market Overview:
The global biodegradable agricultural mulch film market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X%. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for environment-friendly agricultural mulch films. Based on type, the starch-based segment is expected to account for a major share of the global biodegradable agricultural mulch film market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high biodegradability and compostability of starch-based films as compared with other types of biodegradable agricultural mulch films. The starch blend with PLA segment is projected to register highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its superior properties such as high strength and low permeability. On basis of application, fruits & vegetables segment accounted for majority share in 2017 and is anticipated grow at significant rate over next few years owing rising awareness about benefits associated with using biodegradable agricultural mulching films among farmers across globe .
Product Definition:
A biodegradable agricultural mulch film is a thin sheet of plastic used to cover the ground and protect plants from the weather. It breaks down over time, allowing the soil to breathe and moisture to reach the roots. This helps keep plants healthy and can improve yields.
Starch-based:
Starch-based mulch film market is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. The growth of this market can be attributed to its ability to provide multiple benefits such as it improves water retention, helps in temperature regulation, increases soil fertility and also provides protection against UV rays which are likely to increase the demand for starch-based mulch films in agricultural applications.
Starch Blend with PLA:
Starch blend with PLA is a biodegradable agricultural mulch film which consists of polylactic acid (PLA) and starch blended together. It has high mechanical strength, tensile strength, and flexural modulus as compared to other biodegradable agricultural mulch films. Starch-based mulch films are expected to be an effective alternative for petroleum-derived synthetic polymers such as PET in the market.
Application Insights:
Fruits and vegetables emerged as the largest application segment in 2017, accounting for over 60% of the global demand. The growing importance of organic farming is expected to be a key factor driving product demand in this segment. Biodegradable agricultural mulch films are used during the production process of fruits and vegetables to maintain soil temperature, control weeds, conserve water and nutrients by reducing evaporation rates while enhancing plant growth.
The grains segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising awareness among farmers regarding crop protection products that can be used without having an adverse impact on crops. Mulch films help protect soil from erosion due to wind or water when applied appropriately according with each type of land use such as horticulture or agriculture land use types respectively.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has a large number of farmers who have adopted modern farming practices. It also has a huge agricultural output, which includes fruits and vegetables, grains, horticultural crops, tea gardens and others.
The biodegradable agricultural mulch film provides multiple benefits such as reduction in soil erosion due to heavy rainfall or snowfall by acting as an effective rainwater collector while simultaneously keeping soil moisture intact thereby reducing water logging on roads during monsoon season or preventing run-off into lakes & reservoirs during heavy rainfall thus saving water resources.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for organic food products: The global market for organic food is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 14% from 2016 to 2021. This growth is driven by the increasing awareness about the benefits of organic food, such as improved nutrition and health, and environmental sustainability. Biodegradable agricultural mulch film can be used to produce organically certified crops, which will drive its demand in the coming years.
- Rising population and shrinking arable land: The world’s population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, putting pressure on the availability of arable land. Biodegradable agricultural mulch films can help reduce this pressure by improving soil fertility and moisture retention, thus helping farmers achieve higher yields with less land area.
- Stringent regulations on plastic waste: Governments around the world are increasingly implementing stringent regulations on plastic waste disposal in an effort to reduce environmental pollution levels. This is driving demand for biodegradable alternatives such as biodegradable agricultural mulch films that decompose easily without leaving any harmful residues behind..
