The North America agricultural films market size is estimated to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the wide use of agricultural films across farming applications such as silage, mulching, greenhouse, and tunnels.
Agricultural films are used to safeguard the crops from pests, covering greenhouses, and cover over soil or wrapped around fodder. Films as are low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) or polyethylene (PE) plastic films are light in weight. The raw materials used for making the film covers are ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) or ethylene-butyl acrylate (EBA) copolymers, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) for mulching mulches. Silage bag is also one of the forms of agricultural film.
These films are used increasingly to preserve and nurture plant health by preventing water loss. The most important agricultural applications of plastic films are walk-in tunnel and low tunnel covers. Few of the key features of these agricultural films are durability, optical properties (visible, near infrared, and middle infrared), and the anti-drip or antifog effect.

On the basis of applications, the market is divided into greenhouse, silage, and mulch. The greenhouse segment is expected to constitute a key market share during the forecast period due to increasing floriculture & horticulture practices and uncertain climatic conditions. Greenhouse films help in improving the productivity of the soil.
In terms of types, the market is segmented into low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)/ethylene butyl acrylate (EBA), reclaims, and others. The linear low- density segment is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period owing to properties such as higher puncture resistance, high tensile strength, moisture barrier, resistance to sunlight & cracking, and suitable low-temperature properties.
On the basis of geographies, the market is categorized as US, Canada, Mexico, and Rest of North America. The US is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to the adoption of advanced farming techniques. Shifting focus of consumers toward biodegradable films is anticipated to spur the market expansion in the country.
