Market Overview:
The global degradable agricultural mulch market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing awareness about the benefits of using degradable agricultural mulch among farmers and growers. Degradable agricultural mulch helps in improving soil health, reduces erosion, and improves water retention. It also helps in suppressing weed growth and maintaining soil temperature. These factors are driving the demand for degradable agricultural mulch across the globe. The global degradable agricultural mulch market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is divided into starch-based, starch blend with PLA (polylactic acid), and others (including bio-based PE films). The starch-based segment accounted for a major share of the global market in 2017 owing to its high biodegradation rate as compared to other types of degradable Agricultural Mulches available in the market. On account if application, it is classified into fruits & vegetables; grains; horticultural crops such as flowers & nursery plants; turfgrass & ornamentals; and others including forestry applications).
Product Definition:
Degradable agricultural mulch is a biodegradable material that is used to cover the soil in order to suppress weeds, retain moisture and improve the soil quality. Degradable agricultural mulch breaks down over time, returning nutrients to the soil. This improves the overall health of the plant and helps reduce erosion.
Starch-based:
Starch-based, it's usage and growth factor in Degradable Agricultural Mulch market? Starch is a carbohydrate polymer that is obtained from the germination of plant seeds. It is naturally found in cereals & grains such as rice, wheat, maize & oats. The global starch industry has been witnessing strong growth over the past few years owing to increasing demand for food products across the world especially in emerging economies including China and India.
Starch Blend with PLA:
Starch blend with PLA is a new product that has been developed to improve the physical properties of agricultural mulch. The product improves water retention and helps in maintaining soil temperature, which makes it more suitable for use around plants. It also increases the durability of mulch by several folds as compared to traditional starch-based products.
The global degradable agricultural mulch market size was valued at USD 3,500 million in 2015.
Application Insights:
Fruits and vegetables, grains, horticultural and others are the major application areas of the product. In 2017, fruits and vegetables accounted for more than 60% of the global demand. Rising awareness among consumers about healthy eating habits coupled with increasing disposable income in emerging economies such as India and China is expected to drive segment growth over the forecast period.
Growing environmental concerns regarding food waste along with rising awareness regarding green farming techniques has driven farmers to adopt new methods for reducing crop loss without compromising on production quality is expected to open new avenues for industry growth over the next eight years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest and fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The growth in this region is attributed to increasing awareness among farmers regarding the use of degradable agricultural mulch. China, India, Japan, Australia are some of the major producers and consumers of these products in this region. Asia Pacific was followed by North America which accounted for a share of more than 20% in 2017 owing to high demand from U.S.
The European market also held a significant share due to growing awareness about environmental protection coupled with stringent regulations laid down by EU Parliament and Council concerning soil health improvement (SHIP) directive 2004/42/EC and other related directives such as 2006/105/EC etc.
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 foods, such as improved nutrition and health, and environmental sustainability. Degradable agricultural mulch helps in improving the quality of soil and increases yield by reducing water evaporation, thus driving the demand for degradable agricultural mulch.
- Government initiatives supporting sustainable agriculture: Governments around the world are promoting sustainable agriculture through various initiatives such as subsidies, tax breaks, and grants. For instance, in 2015, the government of India announced a subsidy program worth INR 1 billion (~US million) to promote use of bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers in agriculture. This will help drive demand for degradable agricultural mulch as it helps reduce dependence on chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
- Rising consumer awareness about environment conservation: There has been a growing trend among consumers worldwide to adopt environmentally friendly practices that can help conserve resources such as energy and water consumption reduction methods etc., which also includes using biodegradable products instead of conventional plastics or other non-biodegradables materials whenever possible .This trend is expected to continue over the next few years owing to increased public awareness about climate change effects on environment degradation .This would lead Agricultural Mulching Film manufacturers shift their focus towards developing more eco
