Summary

The Mulch Films market is projected to grow from USD 7.8 Billion in 2023 to USD 10.6 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. As the world's population continues to increase, there is an escalating demand for food to meet the nutritional needs of billions of people. The current global population is nearly 7.9 billion and is projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. To address this challenge, the agricultural industry has to enhance productivity and efficiency. Mulch films provide a sustainable and effective solution to this. They are used to create a protective cover over the soil, helping to regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, and suppress weed growth. These benefits, in turn, lead to improved crop yields. This may help boost agricultural productivity and help fulfill the growing demand for food.
“The black mulch in mulch films type segment is expected to be one of the dominant segments in the Asia Pacific region.”
The Black mulch segment in mulch films has emerged as one of the dominant segments in the Asia Pacific region, and this growth can be attributed to several factors, making it particularly suitable for the agricultural landscape in this area. Black mulch films have gained popularity due to their ability to control weed growth effectively. Weeds can be a significant challenge in Asian agriculture, where labor costs for weeding are relatively high. Black mulch films, by blocking sunlight and preventing weed growth, not only reduce the need for labor-intensive weeding but also conserve soil moisture, enhancing overall crop health. Moreover, according to MDPI study report of “Mulching as a Sustainable Water and Soil Saving Practice in Agriculture” made in 2022, Black plastic mulch could boost water productivity, rice yield, and quality while also conserving soil moisture quality.
“Horticulture is one of the segments that is projected to grow in the application segment during the forecast period.”
Horticulture, which includes the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants, places a premium on crop quality and precision farming. For instance, in the cultivation of high-value crops like strawberries, the use of mulch films, specifically designed for horticultural purposes, has resulted in several advantages. Mulch films regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, and prevent soil compaction, creating an environment conducive to optimal crop growth. The enhanced weed control capabilities of mulch films are particularly vital in horticulture, as they ensure that valuable horticultural crops are not compromised by weed competition.
Furthermore, mulch films also protect the fruit or vegetable from direct contact with the soil, reducing the risk of spoilage and disease. The precision and control offered by mulch films in horticulture align with the increasing demand for high-quality produce, organic farming, and sustainable practices, making it a thriving segment in the mulch films market. As consumers increasingly seek fresh and nutritious produce, horticultural applications stand to benefit significantly from the adoption of mulch films.
