The global biodegradable mulch films market value
is expected to reach USD 64.3 million by 2024, according to a new report by
Grand View Research, Inc. Growing population coupled with depleting arable land
is anticipated to drive the market growth over the next eight years.
Biodegradable mulch films are used to enhance crop quality by suppressing weed
growth and maintaining soil temperature.
Biodegradable mulch films have a
lower environmental impact as they do not produce any harmful waste, and their
disposal is easy. Government regulations promoting bio-based product usage,
especially in Europe and North America is expected to drive market growth over
the foreseeable future. Key players in the industry have been investing in
R&D to develop fully bio-based mulch films.
Fruits & vegetables emerged
as the leading crop using biodegradable mulch films and accounted for 51.1% of
total market revenue in 2015 and is also anticipated to witness the fastest
growth over the next eight years. The high growth may be attributed to biofilm
ability to prevent fruits from rotting by preventing contact between fruit and
soil.

Further key findings from the
report suggest:
- Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was the leading raw
material in 2015 and is expected to reach a market worth USD
47.3 million by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2016 to 2024.
The high demand may be attributed to the easy availability of starch at
low prices coupled with an inability to produce any harmful products when
placed in soil.
- Starch blended with polylactic acid (PLA) is also
expected to witness a brisk growth over the forecast period. The high
growth may be attributed to their advantage of being produced from 99%
biobased material coupled with growing PLA films demand particularly in
Europe.
- Asia Pacific was the major consumer and accounted for
64.1% of global revenue in 2015 and is expected to witness the fastest
growth in the biodegradable mulch film market over the next eight years
owing to growing industrialization resulting in rising food demand.
- Major companies operating in the global biodegradable
mulch film industry include Kingfa Sci & Tech Co Ltd, Al-Pack
Enterprises Ltd, BioBag International AS, RKW SE, AEP Industries Inc,
BASF, Novamont, British Polythene Industries PLC, Armando Alvarez and Ab
Rani PlastOy. Major companies have been adopting various strategies such
as M&A, joint ventures, new product development and capacity
