Report Summary

The global greenhouse film market size was valued at USD 4.0 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Greenhouse plastic provides an enclosed and covered structure for maintenance of a controlled growing environment for crops. Greenhouse plastic is designed to trap the sun's rays and create a warm humid atmosphere for efficient growth of crops. It is developed to resist tearing, withstand extreme weather conditions, and create a stable environment.

It offers protection to crops against the effects of frost, wind and rain, while ensuring high quality and faster ripening, enabling harvest of several crops in one year. Market players also offer customized plastic film according to unique light and temperature requirements of many field-grown fruits and vegetables.The market growth is driven by factors such as increase in global population, and increasing demand for high quality food. There has been an increasing need to enhance agricultural yield along with growing focus on nutritious food products and indoor farming, which boosts the growth of the Greenhouse Film industry. Factors such as growing urbanization, and rising investments by government organizations on agricultural schemes influences the market growth.
