Increasing Deployment of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) to Aid the Global Greenhouse Film Industry Growth

Based on plastic type, the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) segment is predicted to hold a significant market share in the greenhouse film industry. This growth can be attributed to the increased demand for durable and efficient greenhouse films that can withstand extreme climates. In addition, other important advantages offered by these films include high quality, thickness, improved transparency, enhanced flexibility, resistance to extreme environmental conditions such as excess sunlight, and others. Furthermore, its sustainable nature is also anticipated to provide a thrust to the market. These factors are predicted to aid the industry growth in the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific to Account for a Significant Market Share in the Global Greenhouse Film Industry

The Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold a significant share of the greenhouse film industry in the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the presence of leading market players in the region. In addition, the heightened investments in the agriculture industry are also contributing to the market growth. For instance, in China, the greenhouse agriculture production witnessed a boom with the insurgence of the COVID-19 virus. Moreover, the growing global population, augmenting the demand for food crops, coupled with the rising demand for improved agricultural yield, is also predicted to bolster the overall market growth in the coming years.

Greenhouse Film: Market Segmentation

Greenhouse films are plastic materials used to cover the roof and sides of a greenhouse. Greenhouses help create a suitable environment for plants that ensures uniform quality, protects fruits and vegetables from rain, wind and frost, and also facilitates faster ripening of crops. These films come in a variety of forms to help with the needs of a range of crops by allowing only the required amount of light and temperature into the greenhouse. These films help reduce water consumption by decreasing the amount of evaporation. In addition, some other properties of greenhouse films include solar irradiance and durability.

By plastic type, the market is segregated into:

• Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
• Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
• Others

On the basis of thickness, the market can be segmented into:

• Less than 200 Micron
• Equal to 200 Micron
• Greater than 200 Micron
• Others

Based on width, the industry can be distributed into:

• 4.5 Metres
• 5.5 Metres
• 7 Metres
• 9 Metres
• Others
