According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The Australia Agricultural Films Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 1057.4 Million by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 9.09% from 2025 to 2035. The agricultural films market in Australia is driven by expanding use of protected agriculture, the need to conserve water, the expansion of greenhouse farming, climate variability, and increased awareness of cutting-edge farming technologies.

Market Overview

The Australia agriculture films market comprises plastic films, which are further used in farming to improve the yield and protection of crops. These films are being used for different purposes such as mulching, covering greenhouses, wrapping silages, and making tunnels, which help in the preservation of moisture, very good regulation of soil temperature, weed control, the quality of yield improvement, and protection of crops from bad weather, pests, and UV rays through a variety of agricultural practices.

Australia's agriculture sector embraces the use of synthetic films through various programs such as the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program, which allocates $302 million, innovation grants for eco-friendly farming, and the National Agricultural Plastics Stewardship Scheme that supports the recycling of mulch and silage films. Through R&D Tax Incentives, the production of high-tech and green agricultural films continues to gain momentum, which in turn enhances both productivity and sustainability in farming.

Australia's BioAgri soil-biodegradable mulch film is an innovative solution to support eco-friendly agriculture. Its presence makes it possible to have agricultural films that are completely compostable, plastic-free, and that dissolve in soil without being taken away, thus promoting sustainability and reducing waste at the same time. New trends will include biodegradable films widely used in agriculture, multi-layer greenhouse films with UV stability, and sensor-integrated smart films to yield more and maintain a healthy environment.
