Agricultural films are stretchable plastics used to cover plants and crops in greenhouses and open fields. In essence, they are thin, flexible sheets or films made of various plastics, such as polyethylene or polypropylene. These films have a variety of uses in modern farming methods. They are available in a variety of thicknesses, colours, and compositions, giving farmers the freedom to select the best kind for their particular needs and crops.

The growing use of new agricultural practises by African farmers to increase farming productivity is one of the main trends in the Africa agricultural film market. This covers the application of agricultural films to techniques such as low tunnel farming, greenhouse farming, and mulching. These methods aid in increasing crop resilience to unfavourable climatic conditions as well as yield and quality.

As they modernise the agricultural sector, regional governments are also playing a crucial role in increasing the demand for Africa agricultural films. To promote the adoption of innovative farming techniques, including the use of agricultural films, a number of institutions are putting policies, subsidies, and training programmes into place.

The growing demand for fresh fruit and decorative plants is driving tremendous expansion in the horticulture and floriculture sectors in Africa. In these industries, agricultural films—especially greenhouse films—are essential because they establish regulated environments that support year-round agriculture. In the upcoming years, this is probably going to offer a number of advantageous growth prospects for the agricultural films industry in Africa. The market for agricultural films in Africa is expected to expand significantly in the coming years. The market will grow as a result of factors like population growth, rising food prices, and the demand for sustainable farming methods. Innovation in products, government assistance, and technological developments will all contribute to the market's expansion. With an emphasis on eco-friendly film solutions and the use of smart technology, the market's future appears bright.

But the initial setup costs for greenhouse structures, for example, could be high for agricultural film infrastructure. This component might make agricultural films unusable for small-scale farmers, which would limit the market's ability to grow. Eliminating agricultural films may potentially have detrimental effects on the environment. Inadequate waste management practises and the accumulation of plastic debris in agricultural regions can have detrimental effects on wildlife and soil health. Moreover, a great deal of Africa's farmers are ignorant of the benefits and applications of agricultural films, particularly those who operate in remote areas. Market expansion may be hampered by a lack of knowledge about their advantages and applications.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted various markets, including the agricultural film sector in the region. Manufacturing and supply chain disruptions resulted in losses for companies and greenhouse producers, with delayed customer investment projects causing a significant decline in greenhouse project orders in 2020 compared to 2019. Production companies reliant on imported components faced challenges due to shortages in exporting nations. Despite these setbacks, the pandemic underscored the criticality of food security, prompting increased emphasis on agriculture. Governments actively promoted local agricultural production, positively impacting the demand for agricultural films, signalling a shift towards self-sufficiency.
