市場動態

新耕作技術日益普及

近年來，隨著城市化的不斷發展，肥沃的可耕地越來越少，垂直耕作、水培和魚菜共生等新的耕作技術已經越來越受歡迎。阿拉伯聯合大公國、新加坡和以色列等國家正在大規模採用垂直耕作和水培技術，在缺乏耕地的情況下增加國內新鮮水果和蔬菜的生產。

幾乎所有的新農業技術都廣泛地依賴於農業塑膠的使用，以實現絕緣和小氣候控制。塑膠可以保護農作物免受惡劣天氣條件、蟲害、疾病和紫外線輻射的影響。此外，塑膠還能促進水和養分的有效分配，最佳化作物生長和生產力。

日益嚴重的氣候變化

氣候變化促使了不可預測的天氣事件的增加，包括乾旱、洪水和極端溫度。此外，氣候變化的嚴重性不斷上升，增加了農業害蟲和雜草的分佈範圍，從而造成更多的作物損失的可能性。據稱，大氣中二氧化碳水平的上升也會降低糧食作物的營養價值。

農業塑膠通過提供保護性結構，如溫室和隧道，幫助減輕這些天氣事件的影響，使作物免受惡劣天氣條件的影響。通過創造一個可控的環境，塑膠使農民能夠在一個更穩定和有利的氣候下種植作物，減少與氣候變化和不可預測的天氣模式有關的風險。

有限的回收基礎設施

近年來，廣泛使用塑膠的替代性耕作方法得到了極大的發展，然而，回收基礎設施的規模還沒有達到這種成長的程度。一些國家對塑膠垃圾的產生和回收有著極其嚴格的規定。由於處理塑膠垃圾的基礎設施有限，這些國家的農業生產者面臨嚴厲的法律處罰。

雖然回收計劃的勢頭越來越好，但由於回收基礎設施有限，農業塑膠行業面臨著挑戰。農用塑膠的複雜性質，如多層薄膜和被污染的材料，使得回收更加困難。缺乏適當的收集、分類和回收設施限制了農業塑膠的回收選擇，促使廢物增加。

COVID-19影響分析

COVID-19大流行病擾亂了全球供應鏈，對全球農業產業產生了重大影響。封鎖和勞動力短缺影響了農業活動，促使對農業塑膠的需求減少。由於大流行病的限制，農業塑膠的生產也受到了乾擾。

此外，經濟衰退和消費者支出的減少對農產品的需求產生了連鎖反應，間接影響了農業塑膠的需求。然而，在大流行病過後，農業部門出現反彈，促使對農業塑膠的需求回升。

人工智慧的影響

人工智慧（AI）技術的進步有可能徹底改變農業，影響農業塑膠的使用。由人工智慧驅動的解決方案，如精準耕作和自主系統，可以最佳化資源分配、作物管理和產量預測。這些技術在某些應用中減少了對過度使用塑膠的需求，如根據植物需求精確供水的精準灌溉系統。

人工智慧還可以促進農業塑膠使用方面更好的數據驅動決策，提高其效率並減少浪費。數據驅動的農業塑膠使用將有助於遏制微塑膠污染對糧食生產的影響。人工智慧還可以應用於最佳化新塑膠的研發過程。

烏克蘭-俄羅斯的影響

烏克蘭-俄羅斯戰爭擾亂了烏克蘭和俄羅斯的農業產業，從而促使這兩個國家對農業塑膠的需求減少。歐盟和美國對俄羅斯經濟的所有主要部門，包括農業，實施了嚴格的經濟制裁。這些制裁促使俄羅斯轉向亞洲供應商，以滿足其對農業塑膠的需求。

由於俄羅斯中斷了對該地區的供應，這場戰爭還造成了歐洲能源價格的大幅跳升。高能源價格侵蝕了歐洲塑膠製造商的競爭力。這種情況為亞洲和北美製造商創造了以歐洲為代價增加其市場佔有率的機會。

Market Overview

The Global Agricultural Plastics Market reached US$ 10.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 17.1 billion by 2030 growing with a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The growth of renewable energy projects will be a key factor in driving the demand for agricultural plastics in the medium term.

The global agricultural plastics market is witnessing continuous evolution, with new advances in farming technology. The expansion of vertical farming, especially in urban and semi-urban areas in developed countries will create new opportunities for the development of new types of plastics uniquely suited to its needs.

Plastic manufacturers are modifying their production processes to improve sustainability in the industry. For instance, in May 2023, Dow, the U.S.-based multinational chemical company, announced that it secured a long-term supply of bio-based ethylene feedstock for the production of renewable polyethylene.

Market Dynamics

Growing Popularity of New Farming Techniques

New farming techniques such as vertical farming, hydroponics and aquaponics have become increasingly popular in recent years, as growing urbanization shrinks the availability of fertile and arable land. Countries such as the UAE, Singapore and Israel are adopting vertical farming and hydroponics on a large scale to increase domestic production of fresh fruits and vegetables in the absence of arable land.

Almost all new farming techniques extensively rely on the usage of agricultural plastics for insulation and microclimate control. Plastics protect crops from adverse weather conditions, pests, diseases and UV radiation. Furthermore, plastics also facilitate efficient water and nutrient distribution, optimizing crop growth and productivity.

Increasing Severity of Climate Change

Climate change has resulted in the rise of unpredictable weather events, including droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures. Furthermore, the rising severity of climate change has increased the range of distribution of agricultural pests and weeds, thus creating more potential for crop loss. Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are also purported to reduce the nutritional value of food crops.

Agricultural plastics help mitigate the impact of these weather events by providing protective structures, such as greenhouses and tunnels, which shield crops from adverse weather conditions. By creating a controlled environment, plastics enable farmers to cultivate crops in a more stable and favorable climate, reducing the risks associated with climate change and unpredictable weather patterns.

Limited Recycling Infrastructure

Alternative farming methods that extensively use plastic have grown tremendously in recent years, however, recycling infrastructure hasn't scaled up to account for this growth. Some countries have extremely stringent regulations on the generation and recycling of plastic waste. Agricultural producers in these countries face tough legal penalties due to the limited infrastructure available for handling plastic waste.

Although recycling initiatives are gaining momentum, the agricultural plastics sector faces challenges due to limited recycling infrastructure. The complex nature of agricultural plastics, such as multi-layer films and contaminated materials, makes recycling more difficult. The lack of proper collection, sorting and recycling facilities limits the recycling options for agricultural plastics, leading to increased waste.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains and had a significant impact on the global agricultural industry. Lockdowns and labor shortages affected agricultural activities which led to a reduction in demand for agricultural plastics. The production of agricultural plastics was also disturbed due to pandemic restrictions.

Furthermore, the economic downturn and reduced consumer spending had a ripple effect on the demand for agricultural products, indirectly affecting the demand for agricultural plastics. However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, the agricultural sector rebounded, leading to a resurgence in the demand for agricultural plastics.

AI Impact

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to revolutionize agriculture and impact the usage of agricultural plastics. AI-powered solutions, such as precision farming and autonomous systems, optimize resource allocation, crop management and yield prediction. The technologies reduce the need for excessive plastic use in certain applications, such as precision irrigation systems that precisely deliver water based on plant needs.

AI can also facilitate better data-driven decision-making in the use of agricultural plastics, improving their efficiency and reducing waste. Data-driven usage of agricultural plastics will help to curb the impact of microplastic pollution on food production. AI can also be applied to optimize the research and development process for new plastics.

Ukraine-Russia Impact

The Ukraine-Russia war disrupted the agricultural industries of Ukraine and Russia, thus leading to a reduced demand for agricultural plastics from both countries. Stringent economic sanctions were imposed by the EU and the U.S., on all major sectors of the Russian economy, including agriculture. The sanctions caused Russia to switch towards Asian suppliers to fulfill its demand for agricultural plastics.

The war also caused a major jump in European energy prices, as Russia disrupted supplies to the region. High energy prices have eroded the competitiveness of European plastic manufacturers. The scenario has created opportunities for Asian and North American manufacturers to increase their market shares at Europe's expense.

Segment Analysis

The global agricultural plastics market is segmented based on material, application and region.

Due to its High Versatility and Durability, Polyethylene is the Most Widely Used Agricultural Plastic

Polyethylene accounts for nearly a third of the market share of plastic materials. Polyethylene is a highly versatile plastic that can be easily molded, extruded, or formed into various shapes and sizes. The versatility allows for various agricultural plastic products such as films, sheets, bags, tubes, and pipes to be produced from polyethylene.

Polyethylene exhibits excellent durability and longevity, which are essential characteristics for agricultural applications. Agricultural plastics need to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to sunlight, moisture and chemicals. Polyethylene resists degradation from UV radiation, moisture and many agricultural chemicals, ensuring prolonged use in the field without significant deterioration.

Geographical Analysis

Strong Government Incentives Enable North America to Garner Major Market Share

North America occupies a share of nearly a quarter of the global agricultural plastics market. U.S. and Canada have encouraged innovation in their agriculture industries through strong government incentives. The U.S. federal government spends nearly US$ 20 billion annually on subsidies for farm businesses.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) also grants preferential grants and loans for new agricultural innovations. Agricultural R&D in the U.S. mainly focuses on areas such as biodegradable plastics, reducing plastic waste and enhancing the functional properties of agricultural plastics. In December 2022, the USDA announced a grant of US$ 9.5 million to develop new bioproducts and bioplastics for the agricultural industry.
