Greenhouse Film Market Report 2026

The greenhouse film market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.63 billion in 2025 to $7.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of protected agriculture practices, rising demand for year-round crop production, increasing adoption of greenhouse farming, growth in horticulture activities, availability of polymer-based agricultural films.

The greenhouse film market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.79 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing food security concerns, rising adoption of precision agriculture, expansion of commercial greenhouse farming, growing demand for high-efficiency agricultural inputs, increasing investments in controlled environment agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of uv-stabilized greenhouse films, rising demand for climate-controlled agriculture solutions, growing use of photo-selective films, expansion of high-durability greenhouse coverings, enhanced focus on yield optimization.

The increasing demand for food production is expected to drive the growth of the greenhouse film market in the coming years. Food production refers to the creation of marketable food products using raw materials derived from plants and animals. The rise in food production is largely attributed to the growing global population, which is creating higher demand for a stable and increased food supply. Greenhouse films support food production by enabling a controlled growing environment that protects crops and improves growth conditions, helping farmers increase yields more efficiently. For example, in July 2025, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, a Canada-based government department, the food and beverage processing sector remained the country’s largest manufacturing industry by production value in 2024, generating $173.4 billion in goods. This accounted for 20.3% of total manufacturing sales and contributed 1.6% to Canada’s GDP. Exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record $59.8 billion, reflecting a 3.8% increase from 2023 and representing 34.5% of the sector’s total production value. Therefore, the growth in agricultural output is supporting the expansion of the greenhouse film market.

Major companies operating in the greenhouse film market are emphasizing the development of innovative solutions, including multi-layer greenhouse films, to improve light diffusion, enhance UV resistance, and regulate temperature more effectively to support higher crop productivity. Multi-layer greenhouse films are advanced protective coverings produced using multiple co-extruded polymer layers, with each layer designed to perform specific functions such as UV shielding, light diffusion, thermal insulation, and anti-drip performance. Together, these layers create a more stable and efficient growing environment by improving light quality, reducing heat loss, limiting condensation, and increasing durability compared with conventional single-layer films. For example, in April 2025, Plastika Kritis S.A., a Greece-based manufacturing company, introduced a new range of advanced greenhouse films with improved light-diffusion, heat-management, and anti-drip features aimed at boosting crop performance and withstanding varying climatic conditions. These next-generation films use specialized additives to optimize light transmission, maintain lower internal temperatures during periods of intense radiation, and prevent moisture from dripping onto crops. The product portfolio also includes innovative humidity-responsive and anti-reflective variants that adjust to changing weather conditions, providing growers with greater flexibility, improved yields, and extended film lifespan compared with traditional greenhouse coverings.

In August 2023, DENSO Corporation, a Japan-based automotive manufacturer, made a strategic move by acquiring Certhon Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is poised to bolster DENSO's presence in the greenhouse film market, facilitating the development of new technologies for greenhouse films and supporting the global greenhouse industry's growth. Certhon Group, based in the Netherlands, specializes in the design and construction of greenhouse films. This strategic acquisition underscores the commitment of major companies to expanding their capabilities, fostering innovation, and strengthening their positions in the dynamic greenhouse film market.
