Polymer price data for greenhouse and agricultural films

Greenhouse, mulch and silage films are produced in large volumes and used over large areas. They consist mainly of polyethylene. Because of the high material input, even small price changes in the polymers can feed straight through to production costs.

With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.

Why polymer prices matter for greenhouse and agricultural films:

Agricultural films are produced in large volumes and used over large areas. Because of their low film thickness, material costs are a substantial part of production costs, so that price changes in polyethylene and in EVA-containing films can take effect immediately.

  • Very high material share: with thin films, the largest part of the cost falls on the polymer itself.

  • Several film types: LDPE, LLDPE and EVA are combined according to light transmission and strength – and their prices do not move in step.

  • Large order volumes: even small price differences per kilogramme add up considerably when material is used by the tonne.

Which plastics are relevant for greenhouse and agricultural films?

For agricultural films, LDPE, and LLDPE dominate. EVA is added to greenhouse films to improve their thermal and optical properties. PP is used above all for tapes, woven fabrics, and spunbonded nonwovens (agrotextiles).

  • Polyethylene

    LDPE film, LLDPE C4 film, LLDPE C6 film, LLDPE C8 film
  • EVA

    EVA (VA up to 18%)
  • Polypropylene

    PPH film
