North America Agricultural Films Market Analysis

The North America Agricultural Films Market size is estimated at USD 1.32 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 1.78 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

North American countries, particularly the United States, Mexico, and Canada, are major producers and exporters of various crops. This agricultural prominence drives the demand for efficient farming practices, including the use of agricultural films in the region. Agricultural films serve multiple purposes, including soil protection, greenhouse farming, and mulching. These films provide significant benefits such as reduced soil erosion and compaction, temperature control, nutrient conservation, improved seed germination, weed control, and UV ray protection. These advantages contribute to the increased adoption of agricultural films across North America.

The increasing organic agricultural land in the region is driving the demand for biodegradable agricultural films in North America. According to FiBL (Research Institute of Organic Agriculture), Mexico's organic agricultural land increased from 238,075 hectares in 2021 to 432,140.8 hectares in 2022. Additionally, the declining arable land in North America has encouraged the adoption of protected agriculture practices, particularly greenhouses. These structures require agricultural films to maintain optimal growing conditions for crops, thereby expanding the agricultural films market.

The expanding population and rising vegetable consumption are increasing greenhouse vegetable production areas, driving the demand for agricultural films in the greenhouse segment. According to Statistics Canada, commercial greenhouse vegetable operations in Canada produced 802,163 metric tons of vegetables in 2023, a 7% increase from 2022, across 920 facilities. Ontario dominated the greenhouse vegetable production in 2023, accounting for 72% of Canada's total output, while British Columbia and Quebec contributed 14% and 8%, respectively. The growing demand for greenhouse fruits and vegetables has stimulated greenhouse investments in Canada, consequently increasing the demand for agricultural films.

Companies in the agricultural film market are expanding their presence through partnerships and strategic activities in the region. The advantages of agricultural films, combined with these business initiatives, are contributing to market growth during the forecast period.
