The global agro textiles market size was USD 9,612.8 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 13,458.7 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the agro textiles market with a market share of 34.36% in 2019.


Agro textiles are textile materials utilized in the agricultural field. The continuous increase in population globally is putting stress on crops. This has led to the use of manmade fiber products for agricultural fields than natural fibers primarily due to the favorable price-performance ratio, ease of transport, storage, and long service life.


The types of agro textile products used include capillary mats for a greenhouse, netting products, shade cloth fabrics, crop covers, harvesting fabrics, harvesting net, landscaping fabrics, crop protection, and others. These textiles play a major role in providing the crops with a controlled environment, protection from weathering, frequent climate change, and offer optimum conditions for plant growth. Their properties include high tensile strength, protection from solar radiation, biodegradability, abrasion resistance, potential to retain water, and resistance to microorganisms.

The durability of Agro Textile Products and Their Sustainability to Lead the Market Growth


Agro textiles are used in farming, horticulture, and animal husbandry. They are used to control the hazardous effects of the environment and climate on crop production, protecting the crop not only from external factors but also improving the overall crop yield. The rapid growth in population is surging the demand for food supply, which is resulting in the expansion of crop production.


Changing consumer lifestyles and rapid urbanization is causing demand for organic and quality products. Therefore, to fulfill these demands, high-quality textile products are used in the agriculture sector. The setting up of agro textile infrastructure is an expensive process, as the products have high tensile strength, resistance to heat, and other properties. Various types of polymers are used with properties such as easy processability, environmental resistance, and constructive lightness. Growing demand for sustainable fabrics that work for a longer period and provide great functionality is supporting agro textiles market growth.


DRIVING FACTORS


Growing Demand From The Agriculture Industry To Drive The Market Growth


Increasing the output of the agriculture industry is supporting the growth of this market. Income growth in developed countries such as the U.S. and Germany, and developing countries such as India, China, and Mexico has accelerated a dietary transition to higher consumption of fruits and vegetables, meat, which has led to corresponding pressure on output and natural resources. A significant extension in the use of water, land, and other resources for agricultural purposes is supporting the high demand for food from the consumers.


Moreover, change in the lifestyle of consumers is driving demand for organic, dietary, and natural foods. These demands have surged the use of these textiles for greater crop yielding and good quality food. Urbanization and climate change have affected crop growth, causing farmers to adopt new textile technologies to improve the yield and to fulfill consumers' demand for food. Governments are focusing on increasing agricultural productivity, improve integration, and encourage innovation in supply chains towards achieving a sustainable global food balance. This has led to high growth in crop production to support the growing food demand, which in turn is leading the growth of this market.


Innovations in the Agro-textiles Industry is Driving the Market Growth


Growing innovations in advanced materials, greenhouses, and crop covers industries, also being used for irrigating gardens and landscapes, shall augment the industry growth. Hydrating tubes with micropores in the tube are designed to efficiently water the plants, which is then buried under the soil layer for a continuous supply of water. Polypropylene shade nets are treated with additives and pigments to help in providing effective protection from weathering, sun, and hail.


Advanced knitting is done on the fabrics to provide different degrees of shades according to the plant’s requirement. Some advanced nets are also used to reduce the harvest time and improve handleability, maintenance cost, and lower the irrigation cost. The aforementioned technologies adopted by farmers as well as producers to improve the crop yield are supporting this market expansion.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Fluctuating Raw Material Prices Shall Hinder Market Growth


The restraining factor affecting the growth of the global market is the fluctuating prices of raw materials. The raw materials include polymers, used for making nets such as BOPET, and PET. Prices of these materials are volatile as they are based on their trading performance on various stock exchanges. This volatility in the prices can lead to high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, very little awareness about agro textiles among various farmers and producers is affecting the market, along with the high investment required for setting up units for these materials. Rising governmental regulations on the use of polymers may risk the market growth. All the above factors together are limiting the growth of this market.


SEGMENTATION


By Product Analysis


Fishing Nets to Gain Impetus during the Forecast Period


Based on product, the market is segmented into shade nets, mulch nets, fishing nets, anti-hail & bird protection, and others. Among these, fishing nets is the largest segment due to prominent growth in the fishing industry led by the increasing demand for fish. These factors can be attributed to the increasing application of fish in the extraction of oil, food, and skincare products. The shade nets segment is expected to show significant growth due to agricultural business.


Moreover, mulch nets provide protection to plants by acting as a blanket structure and enhance plant growth by retaining moisture and moderating soil temperature. Rising demand for high crop yields is surging the demand for mulch nets. Also, high-value crops are environmentally sensitive, and cold weather conditions can destroy the crop, as well as many birds and animals can damage the crop by eating it. Anti-hail & bird protection nets provide high isolation while also providing ventilation and protecting the crops from damage. All the above factors are expected to drive this market.


By Application Analysis

Aquaculture to Dominate the Market during the Forecast Period


Based on application, the agro textiles market is segmented into agriculture, aquaculture, horticulture & floriculture, and others. The aquaculture segment dominated the market in 2019 and is likely to continue its dominance during the forecast period due to growth in the fishing industry.


Aquatic plants such as seaweeds are an important part of aquaculture as they provide nutrition and vitamins. There has been a decline in the market presently due to coronavirus outbreak that has affected the aquaculture market as consumption of aquatic animals has decreased abruptly, causing a high economic loss and decline in the market.


The agriculture sector is expected to show a favorable growth rate during the forecast period on account of high population growth. These textiles are used in preventing soil erosion and improving crop yield, owing to increasing demand for food from the consumers. The growth of the market is affected due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and is expected to show a slight decline in the agricultural sector. Horticulture & floriculture segment having significance in biotechnology is also expected to positively affect market growth.
