Growth Drivers

• Growing demand for pure and non-polluted food products to drive market demand

The global agriculture nets market is projected to grow owing to the rising demand for pure food products that have been cultivated in a safe and protected environment free from external pollutants. With the rapid rise of the population in which 2022 witnessed the population rate cross over 8 billion, the demand for food products has increased simultaneously.

However, consumers have started realizing the importance of consuming pure food products, especially after the impact of Covid-19 which largely impacted people with previous medical conditions or low immunity. This is a major reason why people are now preferring consuming food products that are cultivated in a secure environment where the crops are not in contact with any radiation or greenhouse gasses.

Restraints

• The high initial cost of investment to restrict the market growth

One of the key restraints existing in the global industry is the requirement of high initial investment as agricultural nets that meet different requirements can be expensive. This is especially applicable to low-income farmers struggling to make profits in emerging or financially struggling nations. For farmers with larger land areas, the requirements may be huge thus leading to greater expense whereas smaller farmers may struggle with coping with relatively smaller investments.

Opportunities

• Growing expansion initiatives to provide growth opportunities

The global industry players may improve their sales volume by tapping into the unexplored potential in new markets. Although the cost of the product may be high, companies can offer customized solutions depending on the needs of the farmers operating in the region since every country has a different soil structure and the concerns of cultivators from one region may be different from the ones in a separate area. This applies to farmers from the same country. Furthermore, the growing investment toward new product development is another reason to expect higher chances of more revenue.

Challenges

• Rising competition from alternative solutions acts as a challenge

A key challenge faced by players that largely impacts the industry size is the rising competition from substitute or alternative solutions present in the commercial trading environment. For instance, for many years, pesticides and chemical fertilizers are the go-to options for farmers looking for ways to protect the crop from external damage. They are still the most preferred choice amongst farmers across a range of cultivable land. The popularity of the substitutes is a major roadblock for the industry players to manage.

Report Scope

Regional Analysis

• North America to generate the highest CAGR

The global agriculture nets market is projected to witness the highest growth in North America due to the presence of an immense number of players offering quality products along with a large pool of consumers in terms of people showing interest in terrace gardens or cultivating small-scale crops at personal yards.

Furthermore, the agricultural states of the US and Canada have better infrastructure as compared to many emerging nations allowing them to spend extra on protective coatings for agricultural products. Furthermore, the rising awareness about the impact of UV rays on crop quality is an additional factor working in favor of regional expansion.

In Latin America, the growth is driven by rising demand for protected cultivation along with surging government measures to ensure the smooth functioning of the agricultural sector. Europe and Asia-Pacific are anticipated to grow at a high CAGR mainly due to demand for high-quality edible items and favorable government policies.
