The agricultural grow bags market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.46% between 2022 and 2027. The market size is forecast to increase by USD 247.88 million. The growth of the market depends on several factors such as the increased adoption of fabric agricultural grow bags for high yield, the growth in population driving demand for food, and the government support for greenhouse horticulture in developing economies. Our report examines historic data from 2017 to 2021, besides analyzing the current market scenario.
This report extensively covers market segmentation by raw material (polythene and fabric), product (upright grow bags and horizontal grow bags), and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South America). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges.

Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
When growing plants in containers such as plastic pots, the roots may grow in a ring shape. Such roots are called girdle roots and are formed by a solid plastic layer that restricts the free flow of air and prevents the roots from growing freely. For a plant to grow properly, its roots must grow downwards or sideways. When the roots hit the plastic walls of the pot, they tend to form a circular pattern rather than following the natural process of growing downwards.
In addition, well-developed roots also contribute to increased yield. Another reason to implement cloth agricultural planting bags is that they are generally less expensive than other containers such as pots. Thus, increasing adoption of high-yielding cloth agricultural planting bags will drive the growth of the global agricultural planting bags market during the forecast period.
Because of the high capital, operating, and other costs associated with hydroponic farming, many market players are using automation to make hydroponic farming more economical and energy efficient. Therefore, increased use of automation in hydroponic cultivation technology may impact growth prospects in the coming years.
Furthermore, Iron Ox has developed an automation technology in which a customized robot (designed with a rectangular frame) uses a slide lifter underneath the customized hydroponic tray and moves the tray to different parts of the greenhouse. This tray is filled with a nutrient solution and has a perforated grid into which plants are placed in small pods. This helps spread out the spacing of plants, especially mature plants. Therefore, increasing automation in hydroponic cultivation technology will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The use of agricultural planting bags is limited to plants where the roots are heavier than the tips. If plant heavy plants in plastic bags, they may fall over. This problem is exacerbated when agricultural planting bags are left outdoors in rainy or other conditions. Plants like tomatoes can become top-heavy with aggressive pruning and should be monitored to prevent them from tipping over.
Additionally, certain plants that require deep root systems cannot be grown in these bags. Therefore, the inability of agricultural planting bags to support certain crops is expected to impede the growth of the global agricultural grow bags market during the forecast period.
The polythene segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.?Polyethylene is a durable material that can be made from different types, including LDPE and HDPE. LDPE is used in common agricultural grow bags. HDPE is used in heavy-duty industrial applications as well as in the production of agricultural planting bags where water needs to be stored. HDPE has the advantage of being harder than LDPE. Therefore, HDPE bags retain their shape better than LDPE bags.

The polythene segment was valued at USD 451.79 million in 2017. Although polyethylene is a non-biodegradable material, it is easier to recycle than polypropylene, giving it a higher market share in packaging and agricultural grow bags. Market players offering polyethylene plant bags include Bazodo Enterprises, Dutch Plantin, and Hadopots. These factors are increasing the demand for polyethylene cultivation bags, which will propel the growth of the polyethylene segment of the global agricultural grow bags market during the forecast period.
Based on the product, the market has been segmented into upright grow bags and horizontal grow bags. The upright grow bags?segment will account for the largest share of this segment. An upright or vertical grow bag is a cylindrical agricultural grow bag that is open at the top and closed at the bottom. With vertical grow bags, the use of drip irrigation systems is not limited to single-tube types, as there is greater exposure to the growing medium. These bags have an advantage over horizontal planting bags in terms of depth of growing medium, allowing for longer roots. Vertical planting bags are used for growing fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and berries, as well as potatoes and mushrooms. Such factors will increase the demand for upright grow bags, thereby driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 29% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. In North America, agricultural grow bags are mainly used in countries such as the US and Canada. Additionally, the main reason for the increased demand for agricultural grow bags in the region is the legalization of horticultural growth and marijuana cultivation for medical purposes.
Moreover, market players such as Bloem, Rain Science Grow Bags, High Caliper Growing, Spring Pots, and US-based Wellco Industries offer vertical and horizontal agricultural fabric grow bags, while others such as FibreDust, offer customized coir substrate and horizontal agricultural cultivation bags. Therefore, the high demand for recreational marijuana will drive the growth of the North American agricultural grow bags market during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 had a negative impact on the agricultural grow bags market in North America. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives?lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the resumption of manufacturing facilities and warehouses of the regional market players. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
