Agriculture Nets Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agriculture Nets Market is accounted for $10.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $17.9 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. Agriculture nets are mesh or web constructed of HDPE plastic, which is a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene. These nets are frequently used in the agricultural sector to protect crops from UV radiation, insects, and birds. Additionally, horticulture, floriculture, and animal husbandry all use these nets. Because nets are reusable by nature and may be modified to a customer's specifications, they can be used repeatedly during many farming seasons. These meshes are also used in fishing, construction fencing, and window shelters.

According to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), the total country’s food grain production is estimated to be a record 291.95 million tonnes in 2021 and the demand for food grains is anticipated to increase to 345 million tonnes by 2030.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing practice of rooftop agriculture

The use of rooftop agriculture is quickly expanding, particularly in metropolitan areas where people are exploiting the empty space of the roof to grow delicious flowers, fruits, and fresh vegetables. Productive green roofs combine food production with ecological sustainability, including decreased rainwater runoff, to offer temperature benefits like the potential reduction of heating and cooling needs, better aesthetic value, and improved air quality. Terrace agriculture is becoming more and more popular, which has increased demand and opened up new market opportunities.

Restraint:

Environmental concerns

Agriculture nets are employed in a variety of applications in horticulture, aquaculture, and animal husbandry. These agricultural nets are primarily constructed of plastic, rubber, and metal elements. The plastic nets are made in large quantities since they are less expensive than other materials. Environmental concerns are being raised about the sustainability of plastic nets because bio-based plastic nets are easily biodegradable but conventional plastic nets made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl chloride are not. Therefore, the unfriendly aspect of farm nets may prevent the market from expanding.

Opportunity:

Rising initiatives to ensure food security

Since the green revolution, many actions have been taken by the international governments to strengthen their citizens' national food security and self-sufficiency. Additionally, a number of governments have intensified their focus on national food security as a result of rising population and food demands. The need for agricultural nets has increased as a result of these initiatives, which concentrate on finding ways for local farmers to boost agriculture productivity. This has served as the driving force behind the development of the agriculture net.

Threat:

Competition from substitutes

The increasing competition from replacement or alternative solutions available in the commercial trading environment is one of the major issues that businesses must contend with and has a significant impact on the size of the sector. When farmers are looking for strategies to shield their crops from damage from the outside world, pesticides and chemical fertilizers are their first choices. On a variety of cultivable ground, farmers continue to favour them the most. For the players in the sector, the popularity of the alternatives is a significant barrier to overcome.

Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic has affected the global agriculture nets market significantly. The persistence of the pandemic for a longer period has affected the supply chain as it got disrupted, and it became difficult to supply the raw products to the manufacturers, initially decreasing the production rate of agriculture nets. Consumers are trying to use the nets to boost yields and produce profit from the agriculture and allied sectors. Thus, post-COVID-19 the market is expected to bloom due to increasing initiatives for food security across globe and increasing usage of agriculture nets in other applications.

The non-woven segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The non-woven segment is expected to witness largest market share during the projected period. One of the complex manufacturing techniques used to make non-woven agricultural nets is chemical bonding. It offers the nets a sturdy foundation and makes it simpler to maintain the entire arrangement against environmental variables from the outside. Thermal fusion is another technology used in the manufacture of non-woven agricultural nets; it makes the procedure significantly simpler however, it uses a lot of energy.

The agriculture segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The agriculture segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In emerging nations increasingly than half of the people in these nations work in the agriculture industry, which is supported by the economy, and crop protection standards are becoming increasingly rigorous. The economy's liberalization has opened up a lot of room for the agriculture sector to expand in terms of both production and trade. The market is expanding as a result of all these factors.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the rising trend of horticulture and floriculture. The tremendous demand for high-quality goods in this region due to the rising disposable income available to individuals has played a vital role in the market's growth, which is predicted to continue in a similar fashion in the future. The region has also grown to be an important market for the use of agricultural nets as a result of the increased need for such materials in the fields of agriculture and fishing.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Due to the growing population, the constant demand for food and the unrestricted use of natural resources, there is a rising emphasis on the application of biological technology in agricultural operations as well as the development of new organic technology. Agriculture nets are increasingly being used as a result of technical advancements in modern greenhouses, which are making it simpler and more dependable for farmers to grow crops, fruits, and vegetables, among other things.
