 INTRODUCTION

The word "AGRO- TEXTILES" is now used to classify the woven, non-
woven and knitted fabrics, applied for Agro-tech sector including livestock
protection, shading, weed and insect control and extension of the growing
season. With the continuous increase in population worldwide, stress on
agricultural crops has increased. So, it is necessary to increase the yield
and quality of agro-products. But it is not possible to meet fully with the
traditionally adopted ways of using pesticides and herbicides. Today,
agriculture and horticulture has realized the need of tomorrow and opting
for various technologies to get higher overall yield, quality and tasty agro-
products.

The continuous increase in population globally is putting stress on crops.

This has led to the use of manmade fiber products for agricultural fields
than natural fibers primarily due to the favorable price-performance ratio,
ease of transport, storage, and long service life. The types of agro textile
products used include capillary mats for a greenhouse, netting products,
shade cloth fabrics, crop covers, harvesting fabrics, harvesting net,
landscaping fabrics, crop protection, and others. These textiles play a
major role in providing the crops with a controlled environment, protection
from weathering, frequent climate change, and offer optimum conditions
for plant growth. Their properties include high tensile strength, protection
from solar radiation, bio degradability, abrasion resistance, potential to
retain water, and resistance to micro-organisms.

Agro textiles Market: Dynamics

The major growth factor for the Agro textiles sector is the rise in the global
demand for superior or better quality of nourishment. According to the FAO
global food production will have to step up by 70-80% compared to its
current level to feed a population of over 9 billion by 2050. Farmers and
cultivators are expected to implement modern techniques which include
advance agrochemicals, instruments, and agro textiles, such activities are

years

Agro textiles Market: Restraints

Even though agro textiles are a boon to the agriculture sector they still have
restraints which decelerate the market growth. The preliminary cost for
initializing certain agro textiles are not affordable to an appreciable amount
of end users which could affect the market in the coming years.

Agro textiles Market: Trends

Textile industry has consistently changed and developed new methods of
designing fabrics as well as developing & finding new fabrics which fit
accurately for different applications. Agro textiles are manufactured
indigenously and wrap knitting is a common practiced technology route for
aggrotech.

Agro textiles Market: Regional Outlook

Agro textiles are extensively used in agriculture oriented regions across the
globe. North America is projected to be a major shareholder in the Agro
textiles market followed by Europe, owing to the intensity of modern
techniques used in U.S., Germany, Italy and others. However in regions
such as Asia Pacific growing population and increasing demand for quality
food countries such as China, Japan, India and ASEAN regions are
emerging has high consumer of agro textile in the coming future. Africa and
Latin America are the promising regions in the agro textiles in the coming
future.
