Agriculture textiles are prepared by knitted, woven, or non-woven techniques, especially for controlling and preserving the environment and resources for various applications, including agriculture, forestry, horticulture, or landscape gardening. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Agriculture textiles market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors such as the growing need to increase agro productivity to fulfill the daily requirement of the growing population and the increasing product demand, as it aids in enhancing crop quality and helps in improving overall productivity, are anticipated to drive the agricultural textiles market growth during the forecasted period. Further, the various uses of agro textiles to enhance germination in nurseries, protect soil from moisture evaporation and erosion and provide safety from environmental and climatic factors such as hail, rain, and sunlight all support the industry's growth. Furthermore, favorable government policies developing sustainable practices in agriculture and associated sectors are predicted to boost product demand during the forecasted period. However, high raw material costs and initial costs for the infrastructure setup will be expected to impede the agriculture textile market's growth during the forecasted period.
Agrotextiles can control climate and ecological degradation, save energy, improve product quality, and do other things. Some of the applications of agricultural textiles are ground cover, windshields, insect meshes, crop covers, fishing nets, and nets for bird protection.
The increasing focus on healthy living has led to a rise in the demand for natural and organic products in all consumer products. The consumer mainly focuses on the environmental impact of synthetic fibers and the sustainability of manufacturing processes, which have augmented the use of natural fibers in agro-textiles. Woven fabrics are thicker and stronger than other textiles, which is why they are helpful in protective applications like packaging or ground covers. The products are used in horticulture, aquaculture, landscape, forestry, and animal husbandry applications. They are used to safeguard livestock and crops during transportation and protect them from animals, insects, fungi, weeds, etc. These agricultural textiles are also used in capturing and shading applications and irrigation. This has increased demand for farm products for manufacturing products in all industries. The consumer focus on the sustainability of producing processes and the environmental effect of synthetic fibers has surged the use of natural fibers in agro-textiles. Natural fibers are biodegradable and have high strength and moisture retention. In addition, the simplicity of handling knitted fabric and the adaptability in terms of the usage of textiles created by knitting methods have increased product demand. Various techniques, such as chemical bonding, thermal fusion, and mechanical entanglement, make non-woven fibers. The producing process consists of a web form that provides mechanical strength and later adds different properties according to the end use of the fiber. Moreover, several innovations using advanced materials have created crop protection and shadings methods, such as capillary non-wovens and floating covers, which will help the market's growth. Also, growing standards of global farming in the manufacturing of safe food will be a significant driving factor for the market's growth.
Asia Pacific has emerged as one of the leading producers as well as consumers of agricultural textiles. Asia-Pacific region as a result of economic contraction and market saturation in Europe and North America. The growing population in the area supports the increased demand for agricultural production, which encourages the use of advanced agriculture activities. Research and development into more sustainable farming practices and an increasing affinity toward organic products will drive the industry during the forecasted period. The region's high share can be accredited to the growing demand for agricultural products due to the rising population and changing consumer preferences. Agro textiles are used considerably in the agricultural sector. They decrease the requirement for water, harmful pesticides, and fertilizers and boil down to an eco-friendlier technique for handling agricultural and horticultural activities, which is predicted to drive the market in the forecasted period. Agriculturists demand agro textiles due to their exceptional environmental resistance, mechanical properties, and durability, which can improve agronomic products' quality, quantity, and safety. Agrotextiles such as windshields, bird nets, hail protection nets, mulch mats, and harvesting yields, among others, have gained popularity in recent years. Manufacturers prefer synthetic fibers such as polyolefin due to their various properties. In contrast, natural fibers are used more in specific applications such as fiber strength, lightweight, moisture retention, and the possibility of extended life. Agrotextiles exhibit multiple properties for various applications and are required to possess properties such as tensile strength, biodegradability, abrasion resistance, stable construction, and lightweight, among others. The rising use of this product in various industries, including aquaculture and horticulture, is expected to influence this market significantly. Agrotextiles are textile materials used in agriculture, aquaculture, horticulture, and floriculture. It aids in protecting crops, flowers, and vegetables from birds and animals, capturing fish, and providing shade from construction and other building works. The increasing demand for industrial fishing and seafood across the globe primarily supports market dominance. In addition, the growing population of "health freaks" who eat fish for its nutritional value adds to the segmental market value. Furthermore, the increasing demand for products such as cod and shark liver oil in developing countries further bolsters their market value.
The market's key players are B&V Agro Irrigation Co., Beaulieu Technical Textiles, Belton Industries, Inc., Capatex Ltd., and Diatex SAS.
In January 2020, Diatex introduced a tailor-made plant protection system and several other advanced crop field protection products at the trade fair for horticulture, IPM Essen 2020, in Germany.
