According to Business Market Insights' research, the Middle East & Africa greenhouse and mulch film market was valued at US$ 544.06 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 866.58 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2022 to 2030. Growing demand for fruits & vegetables and rising demand for biodegradable mulch films are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Middle East & Africa greenhouse and mulch film market growth.

Poor diet is one of the major causes of malnutrition and diseases across the world. Micronutrients and dietary fibers are essential for health, and fruits & vegetables are essential components of a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the demand for food & vegetables is growing with the rising awareness about healthy diets. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recommend a minimum consumption of 400 g of fruits & vegetables per person per day. This diet would be beneficial in preventing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. It is likely to prevent and alleviate several micronutrient deficiencies. An inadequate intake of fruits & vegetables is estimated to lead to 14% of the deaths from gastrointestinal cancer worldwide, 11% of those from ischemic heart disease, and 9% of those caused by stroke. In 2021, the United Nations (UN) announced the International Year of Fruits & Vegetables. The United Nations General Assembly aims to raise awareness of the nutritional and health benefits of fruits & vegetables and their contribution to a balanced and healthy diet and improved lifestyle. Many countries and international organizations have implemented various action plans to increase the production and consumption of fruits & vegetables and make them more economically accessible to consumers. Fruits & vegetables are essential components of a balanced diet, contributing to overall well-being. Farmers are turning to greenhouse cultivation and mulch films to meet this rising demand and ensure a consistent supply of high-quality produce. Greenhouse films play a crucial role in this scenario by creating a controlled environment that extends the growing season and protects crops from adverse weather conditions. These films allow farmers to cultivate fruits & vegetables outside their typical growing seasons, enabling a more continuous and reliable supply. By providing a shield against extreme temperatures, frost, and excessive rainfall, greenhouses help maintain optimal conditions for the growth of a variety of crops, ensuring a steady and abundant harvest.

Mulch films also contribute significantly to meeting the demand for fruits & vegetables. In open-field cultivation, mulch films are employed to suppress weed growth, conserve soil moisture, and regulate soil temperature. Weeds compete with crops for nutrients and water, and their control becomes crucial in maximizing the yield and quality of fruits & vegetables. Mulch films help create a favorable microenvironment by reducing water evaporation, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing soil structure. These factors collectively contribute to healthier plants and improved yields, meeting the increasing consumer demand for a diverse range of fresh and high-quality produce. Thus, the growing consumer preference for fruits & vegetables, coupled with the desire for year-round availability and sustainability, has led to an increased adoption of greenhouse and mulch films. These technologies empower farmers to overcome seasonal limitations, protect crops from environmental challenges, and enhance overall crop productivity. The synergy between demand for fresh produce and the adoption of advanced agricultural practices, such as greenhouse and mulch films, reflects a dynamic response to evolving consumer preferences and global food needs. Thus, growing fruit & vegetable production across the globe and the need to reduce water usage are further driving demand for greenhouse and mulch films.
