Agricultural Film Sales Outlook for North America (2023 to 2033)
Agricultural film sales in North America are pegged at US$ 1.34 billion in 2023 and are projected to increase at a CAGR of 3.9% to reach US$ 1.97 billion by 2033-end, according to a new study by seasoned analysts at Fact.MR.
Agricultural films, often referred to as plasticulture, involve the utilization of plastic materials in diverse agricultural contexts. The objective of this report is to assess both the present and projected developments within the agricultural film, driven by the anticipated demand for these materials by farmers worldwide.
The primary driver fueling market expansion is the growing focus on enhancing agricultural production in response to the increasing food requirements of a growing population. Furthermore, agricultural films contribute to the expansion of controlled farming areas by offering materials that support agricultural activities. Farmers are anticipated to embrace agricultural films due to their versatility and ease of production.
There will likely be a rise in demand for biodegradable agricultural films in the near future due to growing environmental concerns. These environmentally responsible substitutes assume a critical function in deterring weed growth, managing temperature, conserving soil nutrients and moisture, and improving plant stability. Furthermore, governments across the globe are actively endorsing sustainable farming and eco-conscious agricultural methods.
Silage is a fermented forage or feed that is often manufactured from grass, maize (corn), or other crops. Silage covers are specialized plastic sheets or films that are used in agriculture to protect and preserve silage. Animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats are the main types of livestock that use silage as food. Silage coverings are essential to the ensiling process because they seal the silage material airtight, preserving its nutritional content and preventing rotting.

What's Leading to the Rising Need for Agricultural Films in North America?
“Evolving Climate and Sustainable Farming Practices Contributing to Increasing Demand for Agricultural Films"
The agricultural film sector is being propelled by the growing acceptance of sheltered cultivation techniques, efforts to amplify agricultural yield, the uptake of mulching films, and the surging interest in biodegradable film solutions. As the global population continues to rise and available arable land diminishes, concerns regarding food security are mounting, consequently driving the need for agricultural films to enhance agricultural productivity.
These films contribute significantly to soil preservation, greenhouse farming, and mulching, offering advantages such as diminished soil erosion and compaction, temperature regulation, nutrient preservation, enhanced seed germination, weed management, and UV shielding.
“Growing Use of Greenhouse Films in Crop Protection and Yield Enhancement”
Increasing use of greenhouse films represents a significant trend in modern agriculture. Greenhouse films, often made of specialized polyethylene or other materials, are employed to create controlled environments for plant cultivation.
Greenhouse films provide a protective barrier against adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases. They create a controlled microclimate that allows farmers to extend the growing season, protect delicate crops, and enhance overall yield and quality.

What Makes Greenhouse Plastic the Ideal Choice for Agricultural Film Production?
"Greenhouse Plastic Revolutionizing Crop Cultivation and Agricultural Productivity"
| Attribute | Greenhouse Plastics |
|---|---|
| Segment Value (2023E) | US$ 478.9 Million |
| Growth Rate (2023 to 2033) | 3.3% CAGR |
| Projected Value (2033F) | US$ 667.5 Million |
The greenhouse plastic segment is anticipated to secure the major share of revenue throughout the projected period. This projection is underpinned by the growing utilization of greenhouse films to enhance crop production and foster crop growth, serving as significant drivers for market revenue expansion. Greenhouse films are temporary structures designed to establish controlled environments conducive to crop cultivation.
They find application in both mulching and greenhouse systems due to their ease of maintenance. The use of greenhouse films in agriculture has seen a surge due to their ability to accelerate the ripening process of fruits and vegetables, resulting in higher crop yields within limited arable land. Moreover, factors such as cost-effective installation, enhanced soil protection, regulated climatic conditions, and the remarkable durability of greenhouse films have further propelled their adoption on a regional scale.
Why is LLDPE the Preferred Material for Agricultural Films?
"Surging Demand for LLDPE in Agricultural Films and Packaging Due to High Tensile Strength”
| Attribute | LLDPE |
|---|---|
| Segment Value (2023E) | US$ 209.8 Million |
| Growth Rate (2023 to 2033) | 3.6% CAGR |
| Projected Value (2033F) | US$ 301.2 Million |
During the anticipated period, the linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) segment is anticipated to register a significant revenue growth rate. This is attributable to the growing use of LLDPE, principally because of its affordability and excellent tensile strength, in both the packaging and agricultural sectors.
LLDPE differs from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) since its structure doesn't have long chain branching. This is due to its characteristics, which include increased flexibility, enhanced product performance, and increased puncture resistance. LLDPE also provides benefits such as a better moisture barrier and greater UV resistance, which greatly adds to the revenue growth of this segment.
Competitive Landscape
Prominent manufacturers of agricultural films have made substantial investments, research and development activities to bring biodegradable and extended shelf-life products to market. These leading companies are forging partnerships with biotechnology firms to ensure the continuous advancement of sustainable product innovations in the coming years.
- May 2022- Berry Global collaborated with Poly-Ag Recycling and Cleanfarms to create Canada's circular economy. The goal of this recycling program was to salvage discarded grain sacks and agricultural films and turn them into fresh material. Berry uses the reprocessed cleanfarms recycled farm films for packaging freshly created goods after Poly-Ag.
