MARKET GROWTH FACTORS
Growing Adoption of Protected and Precision Farming: South Korean farmers increasingly use protected cultivation such as greenhouses and plastic tunnels to improve crop yields, reduce pest damage, and extend growing seasons. Agricultural films regulate temperature, humidity, and light exposure, enhancing resource utilization and productivity per square meter. Government incentives for high-tech cultivation have driven widespread adoption of modern film-based technologies, especially in horticulture and vegetable-growing industries, making controlled-environment agriculture a significant growth driver.
Environmental Concerns and Rise of Sustainable Film Technologies: Increasing focus on environmental sustainability has raised demand for eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastic films. Awareness of soil degradation and plastic waste stimulates innovation in biodegradable, recyclable, and photo-degradable films, offering similar performance with reduced environmental impact. Supportive government regulations and incentives promoting sustainable practices, including green films, further stimulate market growth, aligning with global sustainability and circular economy principles.
Technological Advancements and Product Innovation: Continuous innovation has resulted in agricultural films with enhanced UV protection, anti-drip properties, thermal insulation, and light diffusion, improving plant growth and reducing chemical inputs. Multi-layer and nano-layer films offer increased durability and performance. Both domestic and international manufacturers invest in RD to customize products for local climate and crop needs. This tech-driven agriculture sector fuels demand for specialized, high-performance films and market competitiveness.
