Posted by Komal Boudhh on June 1st, 2021

Market Analysis 

The biodegradable mulch films market is likely to grow at a 7.6% CAGR by 2022 according to the latest analysis by Market Research Future (MRFR). Biodegradable mulches offer an alternative to plastic mulch films for water conservation, soil temperature moderation, and weed control. These films are made of plant starch. Owing to its unique characteristics and beneficial use, biodegradable mulch films are in great demand. 

Various factors are propelling the global biodegradable mulch films market share. As per the current MRFR report, such factors include the support from the government for organic mulching, rising environmental concerns, which has shifted the focus towards eco-friendly mulch films, growing applications in agriculture, increasing demand in the greenhouse, and depleting arable land. 

On the contrary, high installation cost & lack of availability may impede the global biodegradable mulch films market growth over the forecast period. Besides, the supply chain disruption, shortage of materials & subcontractors, and termination of contracts for controlling expenses due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are also impacting the market growth. However, the initiatives by the government and ease in restrictions create hope for the impending recovery of the global biodegradable mulch films market. 

Market Segmentation

The MRFR report offers an inclusive segmental analysis of the global biodegradable mulch films market based on composition and biodegradable plastic. 

By composition, the biodegradable mulch films market is segmented into starch blended with polylactic acid (PLA), starch blended with polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), and starch. Of these, the starch segment will lead the market over the forecast period for its low cost. 

By biodegradable plastic, the biodegradable mulch films market is segmented into aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters (AAC), thermoplastic starch (TPS), and controlled degradation masterbatches. Of these, the TPS segment will dominate the market over the forecast period.
