This Greenhouse Film market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The greenhouse film market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.17 billion in 2024 to $6.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to crop yield enhancement, extended growing seasons, resource efficiency, crop protection, energy conservation.
The greenhouse film market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable agriculture, biodegradable films, vertical farming, global food security, smart agriculture technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include advanced materials, energy-efficient films, anti-reflective coatings, insect and pest control films, vertical farming films.
The increasing demand for food production is anticipated to drive the growth of the greenhouse film market in the coming years. Food production involves creating sellable food products using raw materials sourced from plants and animals. Plastic greenhouses can enhance and stabilize crop yields. For example, in May 2023, the Organic Industry Survey published by the Organic Trade Association, a membership-based business organization in the U.S., revealed that organic food sales in the United States reached $61,670 in 2022, reflecting a 4.3% increase from $59,149 in 2021. Thus, the rise in agricultural production is propelling the growth of the greenhouse film market.
The growing global population is anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the greenhouse films market. A rising population, characterized by an increasing number of people in a specific geographic area or globally, underscores the importance of greenhouse films in ensuring a stable and sustainable food supply. These films offer solutions to challenges related to resource scarcity, climate variability, and urbanization, addressing the food requirements of a growing global population. As of November 2022, reports from the United Nations indicated that the world's population had reached 8 billion people in 2022, with projections estimating it to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. The escalating population is a significant driver for the growth of the greenhouse films market.
Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the greenhouse film market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on creating new technological solutions to enhance their market presence. For example, in October 2022, Agriplast, a Spain-based manufacturer of greenhouse films, announced the launch of its ECOAGRI product line. This range includes not only films for greenhouses but also packaging products, with plans to expand into additional agricultural products soon. Among these innovations is Powerlux PNP, a perforated polyethylene film that offers the same benefits as nonwoven fabrics and is 100% recyclable.
Major players in the greenhouse film market are dedicated to innovation, exemplified by the introduction of new products like the UbiGro Inner-600 and UbiGro Inner-650. These greenhouse films are tailored for the UbiGro brand, catering to the greenhouse industry. Launched in November 2022 by UbiQD, Inc., a US-based advanced materials manufacturing company, the UbiGro Inner-600 is designed to enhance fruit sets and fruit size in crops such as cannabis, strawberries, floriculture, and tomatoes. On the other hand, the UbiGro Inner-650 is crafted for vegetative crop types and crops where overall plant growth is crucial. Both films are optimized for specific light-level conditions and individual crop types, providing reliable solutions for the greenhouse industry's diverse needs.

Greenhouse films are a crucial component in greenhouse infrastructure, providing a protective barrier for plants against external environmental factors. These films, made from main resin types such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), are specifically designed to create a controlled climate conducive to the optimal growth of plants.
The primary resin, LDPE, is widely employed in various applications such as shopping bags, dry cleaning bags, flexible bottles, as well as construction and agricultural films. Greenhouse films come with different functionalities, including diffused GHF, photo-selective GHF, and anti-dirt GHF. They are available in various widths, such as 4.5 meters, 5.5 meters, 7 meters, and 9 meters, and different thicknesses ranging from 80 to 200 microns, 200 microns, to over 200 microns. These films find application in cultivating vegetables, fruits, flowers, as well as transplants and ornamental plants.
