According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The United States Agricultural Films Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 5,911.5 Million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.20% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States agricultural films market is propelled by the agricultural production, the need for modern agricultural methods, and sustainable farming. Products made of agricultural film are used to protect crops in greenhouses and allow them to survive extreme weather.

Market Overview

Specialized plastic polymers called agricultural films are used in farming to protect plants and increase crop yields. These films have a number of uses, such as controlling temperature, retaining moisture, protecting soil, and controlling pests. The growing regional population and the resulting increase in food demand are the main drivers of the agricultural films industry in the United States. In order to guarantee food security, there is an increased demand for effective agricultural methods as the population continues to grow. The market is also growing as a result of farmers' growing awareness of the benefits of agricultural films in boosting crop yields. Also, the growing use of advanced farming methods, such as mulching, greenhouse cultivation, and soil preservation using agricultural films, further boosts market expansion. The market for agricultural films is boosted by the growing trend of precision farming, which uses technology to maximize crop harvests. Precision farming techniques that incorporate agricultural films promote greater output by improving temperature regulation, weed control, and water management. An increased reliance on protective agricultural films to minimize unfavorable weather conditions and maximize crop development has resulted from the effect of climate change on conventional farming methods. Because of their ability to adjust to shifting environmental conditions, agricultural films are seen as essential equipment in contemporary agriculture, propelling the market's steady expansion.

Modern agricultural techniques that heavily depend on agricultural films, such as plasticulture and greenhouse farming, are encouraged by the US government. These methods help in increasing crop yields, protecting crops against pests and diseases, and making the most use of available resources. The use and acceptance of agricultural films are determined by government policies, such as rules and subsidies.

Driving Factors

The growth of the United States agricultural films market is driven by the application of plastic films in agriculture has increased as such of the growing demand for food. These films are utilized in silage, mulching, irrigation systems, and low tunnels. Agricultural films boost crop yield, which leads to a larger harvest and production. As a consequence, they are used to enhance crop output in modern agriculture. In addition to the standard, the film industry focuses on developing reasonably priced nano-greenhouse films for use in agriculture. Because of this, films don't need electricity, making them ideal for locations without electricity.

Restraining Factors

The negative environmental effects of plastic are one of the problems facing the US agricultural film business. Growing consumer demand for sustainable alternatives and regulatory scrutiny have resulted from growing awareness of plastic contamination in soil, waterways, and ecosystems.

Market Segmentation

The United States Agricultural Films Market share is classified into raw material and application.

• The LDPE segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States agricultural films market is segmented by raw material into LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, EVA/EBA, reclaims, and others. Among these, the LDPE segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is driven by being widely available, affordable, highly impact resistant, electrically insulating, and chemically resistant. LLDPE is widely utilized in agriculture. These films have a variety of qualities, including high tensile strength, resistance to UV rays and cracks, moisture barrier, and temperature-adjustable qualities. These films have an advantage over conventional ones because of their superior performance and affordable prices.

• The mulching segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States agricultural films market is segmented into greenhouse, mulching, and silage. Among these, the mulching segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Segmental growth is mostly driven by a good number of contributory factors, such as restricting weed growth, reducing water loss, controlling soil temperature, improving crop health, and supplying a good amount of heat and moisture. Hopefully, mulching films can limit water and pesticide usage, which promotes environmental and sustainable agriculture practices. In general, mulching is common and used according to soil conditions because farmers of varied farming practices use mulching films and realize the economic and environmental benefits of mulching films.
