San Francisco, Oct. 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Agricultural Films Market size is anticipated to reach USD 10.5 billion by 2020, as per a new research report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Increasing need to raise agricultural productivity, in order to meet surplus demand by growing population is anticipated to drive growth. Limited arable land coupled with challenges to produce crops rich in nutrition is also likely to drive agricultural films market demand. Introduction to new improved farming techniques in the recent years may play a key role in industry development. Recyclability & environment issues attributed in these films are expected to restrict industry growth as they mainly contain synthetic polyethylene as raw material.
LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) was the leading raw material segment, accounting over 55% of total demand in 2013. LLDPE is likely to witness high growth rates over the forecast period owing to flexibility & moisture blocking properties coupled with cost attractiveness over other raw materials. Linear Density Polyethylene (LDPE) occupied the second largest market share and is likely to witness moderate growth rates with an estimated CAGR of 5.8% from 2014 to 2020.
