Technological developments are claiming extensive player attention to offer improved and superlative agro textile options, thus fostering growth in the global Agro Textile Market

Agro textile is the textile material used in the agriculture fields, the growing population deters crop production. This led to the usage of manmade artificial fibre products in agriculture fields. The artificial fibres are used more compared to natural fibres as they have favourable prices, ease of transportation and storage and improved productivity.

Agro textiles are witnessing massive adoption in developing harvesting fabrics and nets, crop protective covers, and the like. Advances in diverse end-use applications are likely to leverage new growth opportunities for the global agro textile market in the forecast era.

Agro textile plays a key role in protecting the crops from various environmental conditions such as climate change, weathering, and also provide growth conducive environment for plant growth.

Therefore, in the greenhouse-based plat culture, agro textiles are gaining rampant adoption, more specifically across agri-based economies. These ongoing developments are allowing large scale growth in the global agro textile market. The agro textile fabrics include numerous properties such as tensile strength, high resistance of abrasion, microorganisms and protection from solar radiation and they are biodegradable in nature. As global awareness on environmental protection picks momentum, reliance on biodegradable alternatives holds promise, thus allowing the global agro textile market to grow exponentially.

The global agro textile market has registered substantial growth in the past decades and is further expected to show promising growth to reach over USD 13,464.39 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period 2018-2028.

Owing to their excellent performance, agro textiles are used to control and protect environmental conditions and resist detrimental effects on crop production and yields.

The growing advancement in technology and innovation in crop production is also being the reason for market growth. The agro textile materials are used for irrigating the landscape, crop covers in fields and in the greenhouse. The hydrating tubes used in the fields are designed to be significantly used to water plants, which are buried under the layer of soil for non-stop supply of water. The shade nets are used with pigments to protect from climatic conditions.

Furthermore, the changing lifestyle and preference of the consumer are fuelling the market growth for organic and natural foods. These demands have increased the usage of agro textile for crop yielding and high-quality food. The growing urbanization and climatic conditions have affected the crop growth, which insisted the farmers use and adopt the agro textile technique to improve the plant growth yield aligning with consumer needs.

Moreover, the governments also have taken initiatives towards the demand for crop production, by focusing on increasing agriculture productivity by improving and encouraging a better integration and supply chain for sustainable food balance.

The factor which affects the growth of the agro textile market is fluctuations in raw material prices. The raw materials include polymer for making nets, and covers, the prices of these raw materials depends upon the trading performance in the stock exchange. The higher prices may lead to an increase in manufacturing cost which will significantly increase the product price.
