The global demand for Biodegradable Mulch Film Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
Biodegradable mulch film (BDMs) is developed as a sustainable alternative to conventional mulch film. It is prepared from bio-based polymers derived from microbes or plants rather than fossil-sourced materials. They were designed to be tilled into soil after use, where resident microorganisms degrade the plastic. It offers excellent mechanical degradation properties and lucrative water vapor barrier properties. Polylactic acid (PLA), starch, cellulose, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are the most commonly used polymer for BDM.
Market Dynamics
The global biodegradable mulch film market is estimated to grow due to increased demand for eco-friendly substitutes to plastic, rising severe contamination with conventional mulch film, environmental burden. BDM offers vast benefits over traditional plastic such as biodegradability in soil, customized life span, tailored for different crops, no necessary removal, no disposal costs, no residues like traditional plastic in the field. BDM incorporation into the soil can result in enhanced microbial activity and enrichment of fungal taxa in terms of technical ability. However, the cost of BDM is roughly double the price of conventional plastic mulch, hindering the market growth.
