Analyst Perspective

The global biodegradable mulch film market is estimated to register a CAGR of 8.4%. Increasing government regulations, consumer preference for eco-friendly products, and expansion of organic farming drive the demand for biodegradable mulch films. The market extends beyond agriculture to encompass landscaping, horticulture, and erosion control, offering further potential growth. The shift towards sustainable agriculture creates a vast opportunity for biodegradable mulch films. However, higher costs, limited awareness and availability, and technical barriers are significant factors that may restrain biodegradable mulch film growth.

Market Overview

Biodegradable mulch films represent a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic mulches in agriculture.  Composed of organic materials such as starch, cellulose, or polylactic acid, these films break down naturally over time reducing environmental impact. Biodegradable mulch films play a crucial role in modern agriculture by boosting crop yield, enhancing quality, controlling weeds, and reducing water usage and pesticide dependency. Unlike traditional mulch films made from fossil-based polymers, these films use bio-based polymers. Biodegradable mulch films offer sustainable solutions for improved farming practices and environmental impact. As the technology for biodegradable mulch film improves, the cost of these products is coming down. Growing population and surge in crop demand are significant growth opportunities for biodegradable mulch films. Governments worldwide are increasingly enacting policies restricting traditional plastic mulch film use.

Market Drivers     

  • Traditional plastic mulch films are a significant source of plastic pollution, as they often end up in landfills or waterways. Biodegradable mulch films from polylactic acid or cellulose offer a more sustainable alternative.
  • Consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental consequences of their decisions. They increasingly demand sustainable products, which drives demand for biodegradable mulch films, which are considered more eco-friendly.
  • Biodegradable mulch films can offer several benefits for crop yields, such as improved soil retention, weed suppression, and temperature control, leading to increased yields and profit for farmers.
  • The greenhouse industry is growing rapidly, and biodegradable mulch films are a popular choice for greenhouse growers, which helps to create a controlled environment for crops and improve yields.
