Farmers use mulch films to retain moisture in the soil and prevent the growth of weeds. There are various materials available for making mulch films, but polyethylene is often preferred due to its strength, affordability, and ability to block out sunlight and water. However, using plastic mulch can contribute to pollution and health risks. To address these concerns, it is important to use biodegradable polymers that can degrade naturally without leaving behind any harmful substances.
Biodegradable polymers can be made from fossil fuels, microorganisms, animals, or plants, but each type has different properties and costs. Therefore, finding the right balance between strength, cost, and biodegradability is crucial for selecting the best mulch film material. Mulch serves to maintain the moisture level of the soil, which is important because evaporation can cause significant loss of moisture. Rise in need to preserve soil moisture is anticipated to spur the mulch films market growth during the forecast period. Surge in global population is boosting the need for food, which is also driving demand for mulch films.
Mulch films are plastic films that are used in agriculture and horticulture sectors for modification of soil temperature, controlling weed growth, and improving crop yield. The use of mulch films helps decrease the cost of chemical weed killers and increases the quality of crops.
Biodegradable mulch films are gaining traction in the agriculture sector due to their environmental benefits. Governments across the globe are imposing stringent environmental regulations. This, in turn, is projected to boost demand for biodegradable films, thereby driving the mulch films market dynamics.
Many studies have been conducted recently to develop mulch materials that are environmentally benign and sustainable. These materials should ideally be bio-based and quick to break down. Additionally, they ought to share several mechanical characteristics with plastic such as high tensile strength and percentage elongation.
In Europe, the European Union has defined the product requirements for the usage of biodegradable mulch films in agriculture and horticultural sectors. Materials must adhere to strict requirements for biodegradability, deployment, chemical composition, and eco-toxicity to be used as mulch films. The material should degrade into carbon monoxide, H2O, methane, inorganic substances, and vegetation in one year of usage, without leaving any trace of a harmful residue, according to the generally accepted standard for biodegradability.
The fundamental benefit of using biodegradable materials is that they may be tilled into the soil after usage, where they can be broken down by the soil microbiota while requiring less labor and disposal. The substance should also continue to dissolve entirely without releasing any detrimental chemicals while maintaining the ideal environment for plant growth.
Agriculture and horticulture industries benefit significantly from the breakdown of biodegradable elements in the soil. Plastic mulch films are commonly employed to increase crop yields by maintaining soil temperature, reducing erosion, and conserving water. The thickness of the mulch film only affects its effectiveness if it is used for solarization. Plastic mulch films are widely used in large-scale fruit and vegetable crop production.
Soil solarization is a technique that utilizes solar energy to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens such as insects, bacteria, and fungi. Black mulch films are instrumental in generating solar energy, which helps reduce crop waste and promotes more efficient farming practices. Farmers typically use pesticides and other chemicals to eliminate weeds, which can lead to contamination and pose health risks to individuals. The use of mulch films can eliminate the need for extensive weed removal efforts, thereby reducing the usage of harmful pesticides and chemicals.
Mulch film manufacturers are focusing on the development of products made from biodegradable materials to reduce environmental impact and meet the demand for sustainable agriculture practices. This, in turn, is estimated to drive the mulch films market progress in the near future.
Improved UV resistance extends the lifespan of mulch films and reduces the need for frequent replacements. This aids in significant cost savings for farmers. Enhanced thermal properties help extend the growth season, enabling farmers to cultivate crops in colder climates or earlier in the year. Additionally, the introduction of antimicrobial properties in mulch films aids in mitigating weed growth and preventing certain plant diseases, leading to higher crop yields.
Innovative designs and materials inhibit weed growth more effectively, reducing the need for herbicides and manual weeding. Mulch film companies are exploring ways to develop products from recycled materials, contributing to circular economy practices and reducing waste. They are offering multilayer mulch films that help improve raw material management and effectively distribute additives across all layers. These films, produced through co-extruded blown technology, are also utilized for heat transmission during the packaging process in other agricultural applications.
There has been extensive research on developing commercially viable biodegradable mulch films, but their large-scale use is still limited. This is not due to any inherent limitations of the material, but rather the cost and accessibility of the films for farmers. Many farmers are reluctant to use biodegradable mulch films because of their high cost, management difficulties, and the requirement for specialized equipment for application. As a result, alternatives to plastic mulches are not being utilized to their full potential.
Governments across the globe are offering subsidies for mulch films and increasing awareness about their undeniable advantages over traditional plastic mulch films. In Spain, some regional authorities are already incentivizing farmers to use biodegradable mulch films. Other countries are adopting similar policies to promote the use of biodegradable materials and reduce their reliance on plastic. Moreover, mulch film vendors are developing polymers that are appropriate for mulching in various climatic zones, with varying temperatures and mud varieties.
According to the latest mulch films market research, the biodegradable product type segment is expected to dominate the sector during the forecast period. The segment is projected to register a CAGR of 6.5% in terms of value from 2023 to 2031. Biodegradable mulch films are gaining traction as they offer biodegradability and composability.
Biodegradable mulch films help reduce weed growth, prevent soil erosion, and increase soil temperature while conserving water. They also aid in preventing soil compaction, fertilizer leaching, and moisture evaporation, resulting in higher yields and early growth for crops. Biodegradable mulch films can be disposed of directly into the soil or composting system at the end of their lifespan, undergoing biodegradation by soil microorganisms, which saves time and money.
Biodegradable mulch films are as effective as plastic mulch in controlling weeds and promoting plant growth. However, the demand for plastic mulch continues to grow as there are not enough biodegradable alternatives. The main challenge is making the production process economically viable. Subsidies and marketing efforts are needed to encourage their use as an alternative.
There are various challenges in the production of biodegradable mulch films. Thus, vendors are investing significantly in R&D activities to overcome these challenges. They are focusing on the development of commercial mulching materials that are polysaccharide-based. These mulch films are created by combining two or more polymers. The first biodegradable mulch film used in agriculture was Mater-Bi, produced by an Italy-based company Novamont. It is made from a blend of poly ε-caprolactone and thermoplastic starch, which provide reasonable biodegradability and mechanical strength. Various companies in different countries are manufacturing these types of films to increase their mulch films market share.
According to the latest mulch films market analysis, the agriculture end-use segment is anticipated to dominate the industry during the forecast period.
