Market Dynamics
ncreasing agricultural productivity to meet the everyday demands of an expanding population
Textiles currently have a significant role in agriculture, both climate and productivity. Agro-textiles keep soil from drying out, increasing crop output and improving product quality. These textiles shield farmers from harmful chemicals. For example, shade netting and thermal screens save 40 percent of the energy consumed in greenhouse heating. Textiles are currently being used to protect agro-products such as plants, vegetables, and fruits from the elements, weeds, and birds, among other things. Agriculture is recognized as an industry in many parts of the world because it allows a country to fully use all available land, regardless of environmental factors. Textile structures of various shapes manage temperature, rain, snow, waterfalls, and humidity environmental elements in shade houses, greenhouses, and other open fields. Wind, rain, and bird damage can all be avoided using shaded textile materials. Crop protection and weed management, in addition to shading materials, are key challenges. Various industrial advancements, such as capillary nonwovens, floating coverings, and textiles containing pesticides, fertilizers, superabsorbent polymers, and seeds, have produced novel shading and crop protection techniques, projected to fuel market expansion throughout the projection period.
The fluctuating prices of raw materials are a stumbling block to the worldwide market's expansion. Polymers used to make nets, such as BOPET and PET, are among the raw materials. These commodities' prices are volatile since they are depending on how well they trade on multiple stock exchanges. This price fluctuation can result in high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the market is being influenced by a lack of awareness about agriculture textiles among diverse farmers and producers, as well as the significant investment required to build up units for these materials. Government regulations on the usage of polymers are becoming more stringent, putting the market's growth at risk. All of the above reasons together are limiting the market's growth.
