Agro Textile Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.68% through 2030

Rising Global Food Demand and Agricultural Intensification and Expansion of Protected Cultivation and Precision Farming are expected to drive the Global Agro Textile Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030

According to TechSci Research report, “Agro Textile Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Agro Textile Market stood at USD 5.32 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 4.68% in the forecast period.

Agro textiles play a pivotal role in reducing dependence on chemical pesticides and herbicides by serving as physical barriers against pests and weeds. This directly supports the global shift toward organic farming, integrated pest management (IPM), and environmentally sustainable agricultural practices. In addition, the development of biodegradable and recyclable agro textiles is increasing their appeal among farmers committed to eco-friendly cultivation methods.

Increasingly erratic rainfall patterns, higher average temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather events are driving farmers to adopt protective solutions for crops and livestock. Agro textiles provide an effective shield against heat waves, frost, heavy rainfall, and strong winds, helping to minimize crop losses, stabilize production, and ensure predictable harvest outcomes.

Continuous innovation in synthetic fiber production, UV stabilization techniques, and high-strength yet lightweight knitting and weaving methods has significantly enhanced the durability, functionality, and service life of agro textiles. Advances in product customization such as tailored mesh sizes, porosity levels, and specialized coatings allow these textiles to meet precise agricultural requirements, facilitating wider adoption across diverse crop types and farming systems.

Most agro textiles are manufactured from synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester, which offer high durability but present significant end-of-life disposal challenges. In many regions, insufficient recycling infrastructure leads to improper waste management, contributing to plastic pollution and broader environmental degradation. Rising awareness of microplastic contamination and the accumulation of non-biodegradable agricultural waste has intensified pressure for stricter environmental regulations measures that could potentially increase manufacturing costs and impact market growth. Although biodegradable alternatives are being developed, they often come at a higher price point and may not match the longevity of conventional materials, creating a difficult balance between sustainability objectives and cost-effectiveness for end users.

Global Agro Textile Market is segmented into material, type, end use, regional distribution, and company.

Based on the category of End Use, the Fishing nets segment emerged as the dominating segment in the market for Agro Textile in 2024. The segment’s dominance is primarily driven by the rising demand for seafood worldwide, fueled by population growth, increasing per capita consumption, and the shift toward protein-rich diets. This has prompted significant investment in modern aquaculture infrastructure, where fishing nets are essential for fish harvesting, containment, and protection from predators. Advanced netting solutions, including knotless designs and anti-fouling coatings, further enhance operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and extend product lifespan. Stringent regulatory frameworks promoting responsible fishing practices and minimizing bycatch have accelerated the adoption of high-performance, eco-friendly fishing nets. These innovations not only improve catch quality but also support environmental sustainability, aligning with global fisheries management objectives.

The segment benefits from well-established manufacturing and supply networks, particularly in coastal economies with strong fishing traditions and export-oriented seafood industries. Its leadership position is further strengthened by continuous advancements in fiber technology, enabling lighter, stronger, and more durable netting materials. As aquaculture and capture fisheries continue to expand and modernize, the fishing nets segment will maintain its dominance in the agro textile market, supported by its irreplaceable function, adaptability to evolving industry standards, and contribution to meeting the world’s growing seafood demand.

Europe is poised to witness the fastest market growth in the global agro textile industry, driven by its advanced agricultural practices, strong environmental regulations, and increasing adoption of sustainable farming solutions. The region’s agricultural sector, particularly in countries such as Spain, Italy, France, and the Netherlands, has a long-standing focus on high-value horticulture, viticulture, and floriculture segments where agro textiles are integral for crop protection, quality enhancement, and yield optimization.

A major growth catalyst is Europe’s stringent environmental and sustainability framework, including the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy, which aim to reduce pesticide use, promote organic farming, and enhance biodiversity. These policies are accelerating the adoption of physical crop protection methods, such as shade nets, insect-proof screens, and ground covers, in place of chemical inputs. Farmers are increasingly leveraging biodegradable and recyclable agro textiles to align with these eco-compliance requirements while improving productivity. The expansion of controlled-environment agriculture such as greenhouses and vertical farming is another key driver. Countries like the Netherlands lead in greenhouse technology, where agro textiles play a critical role in light regulation, temperature control, and pest management. Additionally, climate variability in southern Europe, with more frequent heat waves and irregular rainfall, is prompting wider use of agro textiles to mitigate weather-related risks and ensure consistent harvests.
