Factors Affecting the Growth of the Agricultural Films Industry:    

• Increasing Demand for Crop Protection:

Agricultural films provide a physical barrier that helps protect crops from pests, insects, and diseases. This protection is crucial for maintaining crop health and maximizing yields, especially in regions prone to pest infestations. Moreover, films can shield crops from adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain, wind, hail, and excessive sunlight. This protection helps in preventing crop damage and maintaining optimal growing conditions, thereby improving yield and quality. Besides this, by creating a controlled environment around the plants, agricultural films can promote faster and healthier crop growth. They help in maintaining stable soil temperatures, preserving soil moisture, and reducing evaporation, which are all beneficial for plant development.

• Rising Adoption of Greenhouse Farming:

Agricultural films, such as polyethylene films, are used extensively in greenhouse structures to regulate temperature and humidity levels. They help create a controlled environment that is conducive to optimal plant growth throughout the year. Furthermore, films designed for greenhouse applications have specific light transmission properties that allow the right amount of sunlight to reach the plants. This ensures adequate photosynthesis and promotes healthy growth, particularly in regions with limited sunlight. In line with this, greenhouse films act as a protective barrier against external elements like wind, rain, and hail, which can otherwise damage crops. They provide a shield that helps maintain crop health and reduce the risk of pest infestations.

• Technological Advancements:

Continuous research and development (R&D) activities are leading to the creation of agricultural films with improved properties, such as ultraviolet (UV) resistance, durability, and mechanical strength. These films are better equipped to withstand harsh environmental conditions and offer longer service life. In addition, modern agricultural films are equipped with innovative functionalities like light diffusion, anti-condensation coatings, and infrared-blocking capabilities. These functionalities help optimize light distribution within greenhouses, reduce moisture-related issues, and regulate temperature more effectively.
