Agricultural Textiles Market Report 2026

The agricultural textiles market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.8 billion in 2025 to $15.01 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of horticulture and floriculture activities, rising need for crop protection materials, growth in aquaculture operations, adoption of synthetic textile solutions, increasing use of protective farming infrastructure.

The agricultural textiles market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.7 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for sustainable agricultural textiles, rising adoption of biodegradable fibers, expansion of precision farming applications, increasing climate variability impacts on agriculture, growth of high-value crop production. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of uv-stabilized textile products, rising use of biodegradable agricultural fabrics, growing demand for shade and protection nets, expansion of crop and livestock covering solutions, enhanced focus on climate-resilient farming.

The increasing demand for agricultural products is anticipated to drive the expansion of the agricultural textiles market in the coming years. Agricultural products encompass any commodity or product derived from farming, whether raw or processed, including those obtained from livestock. Agricultural textiles serve to protect these products from birds and insects, while also providing shade to crops, which contributes to higher yields. For example, in February 2025, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), a federal agency in the United States, reported that the value of U.S. agricultural exports reached approximately US$ 176.0 billion in 2024, marking a 1% rise compared with 2023. Consequently, the growing demand for agricultural products is supporting the growth of the agricultural textiles market.

Major players within the agricultural textiles market are actively pursuing innovative solutions, notably emphasizing the introduction of biodegradable insect nets. These specialized nets or mesh structures serve the purpose of shielding plants in agriculture and horticulture from insect infestations. They are crafted from materials engineered to naturally decompose and disintegrate over time through biological processes, such as microbial activity and exposure to environmental elements. An illustrative example occurred in January 2023 when Andermatt Home and Garden, a Switzerland-based company specializing in bio-based solutions employing microorganisms for insect pest management, unveiled InsectoNet. This plastic-free, biodegradable insect net, designed for gardens, is exclusively composed of uncomplicated corn starch, derived from corn kernels, enabling it to naturally biodegrade.
