Global Biodegradable Mulch Film Market: Drivers and Restraints

Biodegradable mulch film can be a good alternative to polyethylene plastic mulch as the latter raises environmental concerns with its high volume of waste generation. Furthermore, polyethylene mulch requires petroleum-based, non-renewable feedstock, which raises questions on its use in crop production.

However, low penetration of biodegradable varieties in the mulch film industry could cause problems to the market. The willingness of farmers to adopt affordable polyethylene products is expected to result into the low penetration of biodegradable mulch film. The two times higher price difference between them could be another factor slowing down the demand for biodegradable mulch film in the industry.

Nonetheless, biodegradable mulch film offers some excellent advantages, which could work in favor of the market. Thermoplastic starch is anticipated to gain high demand in the global biodegradable mulch film market due to its availability from agricultural crops, biodegradability, abundance, renewability, and low cost.
