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.

In July 2021, UbiQD announced a partnership with Solvay for its UbiGro line of greenhouse films. The collaboration was instrumental in moving quantum dot-powered fluorescent greenhouse covers forward. The quantum dots manufactured by UbiQD convert blue and ultraviolet light into colors that are more photosynthetically active. According to UbiQD, this film increases greenhouse productivity by 20%. Solvay is expected to leverage its expertise in additives for greenhouses films to reach out to a bigger customer base.

In 2024: Saint-Gobain launched new greenhouse films with improved durability and light transmission for enhanced crop growth.

In 2023: Avery Dennison introduced advanced greenhouse films with enhanced insulation and UV protection.

Greenhouse Films Market Segment Insights
