Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Films Industry Outlook
As per the FAO Statistics, from 2015 to 2018, the global agricultural landscape experienced notable changes. Permanent meadows and pastures worldwide saw an increase, rising from 3,222,503.2 thousand hectares to 3,233,686.4 thousand hectares. The cropland area increased from 1,551,300.3 thousand hectares to 1,567,681.7 thousand hectares over the same period. In Africa, permanent meadows and pastures rose marginally from 840,282.5 thousand hectares in 2015 to 842,870.2 thousand hectares in 2018, while cropland expanded significantly from 277,515.4 thousand hectares to 278,940.6 thousand hectares over the same period. Oceania experienced a significant increase in permanent meadows and pastures from 327,530.5 thousand hectares in 2015 to 338,139.5 thousand hectares in 2018. In country-specific data, Afghanistan's cropland area rose from 7,910.0 thousand hectares in 2015 to 7,919.0 thousand hectares in 2018, indicating consistent agricultural practices. Argentina showed a slight increase in cropland, from 40,200.0 thousand hectares to 40,268.0 thousand hectares, suggesting modest growth in crop cultivation areas. Growth in agricultural land is driving the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films market revenue by increasing the demand for biodegradable and water-soluble films used in agrochemical packaging, seed coatings, and agricultural mulch films.
