The global greenhouse film market is estimated to reach USD 4.70 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 10.96% from 2016 to 2021. The increasing demand for greenhouse cultivated crops, increasing land area under greenhouse protected farming, and the increasing focus on improving agricultural yield are driving the demand for the greenhouse film.

Greenhouse films are protective films which help in creating a controlled internal environment in the greenhouse for better crop yield and quality, regardless of the external environment. These films can control the amount of sunlight, temperature, and provide physical protection to crops from wind, rain, and snow among others. This creates the possibility of extending the growing season for fresh fruits, flowers, and vegetables through the year.

Greenhouse film with thickness size 200 microns are more in demand and are projected to grow at the highest rate from 2016 to 2021 in terms of volume. The major demand for 200 microns is from the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East & Africa. This is because the 200 microns film is better suited for the hot climatic conditions in these regions, and the film is manufactured with the five layer technology which helps in preventing harmful UV rays reaching plants and thus protecting them.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest rate in the global greenhouse film market, in terms of value and volume, from 2016 to 2021. In recent years, there has been an increase in the land area under greenhouse farming in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India which has resulted into high demand for the greenhouse film in the Asia-Pacific region. The growing emphasis on improving the productivity per area can be only achieved by implementing greenhouse protected agriculture, thus driving the market for the greenhouse film in this region.

The market for greenhouse film in India is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period, as the area under greenhouse protected farming is increasing at a high rate.
