Market Overview

Agricultural textile (agro textile) products safeguard farmers from toxic pesticides and chemicals, enhance production, and protect soil from drying up. Recently, the term "agro-textile" has been used to classify the knitted materials, woven, and non-woven used in horticulture and agriculture. A healthy farming culture is produced by using fewer toxic pesticides and herbicides, which is also an environmentally beneficial approach. Agricultural textiles can improve the safety of agricultural products, quantity, and quality due to their exceptional mechanical potentiality, resistance to the environment, ease of processing, and durability characteristics. Agriculture has used textile fabrics for a very long time. The majority of textile materials are created using synthetics in an array of decompositions and are either woven or nonwoven in fabrication. The use of textiles has enlarged to prevent agricultural products including plants, vegetables, and fruits from the elements, weeds, and birds. Agriculture can act as a partnership, improving one another's strengths to create a new iteration of the "agro-textiles" revolution. It also administers various perspectives and solutions to the concerns the agriculture sector is currently facing, overlooking the textile industry.

Driving Factors
The increase in demand for agricultural products is expected to drive the growth of the global agricultural textiles market going forward. Agricultural products refer to any agricultural commodity or product, whether raw or processed, that includes any commodity or product that is obtained from livestock. Agricultural textiles are used to safeguard agricultural products from birds and insects, and they also help give shade to plants, which helps to enhance crop output. In addition, the increase in sustainable agriculture practices is anticipated to drive the agricultural textiles market going forward. Sustainable farming operations include environmentally and socially responsible farming approaches that aim to extend long-term crop productivity while lowering negative impacts on the environment and promoting fair working conditions for farmers. Agricultural textiles provide solutions to improve crop production, reduce water consumption, and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, driving the growth of the agricultural textiles market. 

Restraining Factors
Greater expenses of raw materials significantly hamper the growth of the global agricultural textile market. The market is facing obstacles due to an increase in raw material prices. Consumer needs shifts, high oil prices, and global trade patterns influence it. Most agricultural textile producers face challenges in obtaining significant profit margins amid the change in raw material prices that continues to impact their financial performance. Oil prices in Middle Eastern countries play a crucial role in the price dynamics of polypropylene as the region controls the production of crude oil. An extended supply of crude oil pulls down its prices, thereby making the market volatile to the extent that considerable producers try to curtail their production to moderate the price of the raw material. 
 

Market Segmentation

The global agricultural textiles market share is segmented into product, material, and application.

• The knitted segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the product, the global agricultural textiles market is segmented into woven, knitted, non-woven, and others. Among these, the knitted segment dominates the market with the largest market share through the forecast period. The overall income is due to the fabrics several uses, including bird netting, hail protection, and impact protection in the form of wind control. The demand for the product has increased due to the ease of handling knitted fabric and the variety of textiles manufactured by knitting techniques. There are several ways to create non-woven fibers, including mechanical entanglement, thermal fusion, and chemical bonding. During the production process, a web is formed, which initially adds mechanical strength and then other qualities based on the fiber's intended application.

• The polyethylene segment is anticipated to hold a significant share of the agricultural textiles market over the forecast period.

On the basis of material, the global agricultural textiles market is classified into polyethylene, nylon, polypropylene, polyesters, and others. The polyethylene segment is expected to have a significant share of the agricultural textiles market in the forecast period. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer with a volatile crystalline structure that, depending on the type, has a wide range of applications. Polyethylene is one of the most widely used materials for agricultural textiles, and it is slightly more expensive than polypropylene.

• The aquaculture segment accounted for the largest revenue share through the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global agricultural textiles market is segmented into agriculture, horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, and others. Among these, the aquaculture segment accounted for the largest revenue share through the forecast period. Growing seafood consumption and the growing use of aquatic life in a variety of industries, including nutraceuticals, medicines, and cosmetics, have contributed to the expansion of aquaculture and, in turn, the rise of the fishing net market. The crops that are produced behind shade nets are selected based on their tolerance for light. They also aid in boosting summertime agricultural productivity and minimizing damage from extreme heat. They are utilized in many different processes, including vermicomposting, floriculture, and nursery operations.
