Bales are usually stored in open fields, which makes them prone to damage by rains & snow. Therefore, farmers use bale wraps to protect bailing hay or straws. Bailing is more concerned with protection rather than presentation, which is why farmers look for heavy-duty wraps for bailing applications. The key focus of the farmer remains on achieving superior bailing efficiency, as appropriate bailing extensively elongates the bale’s life without degrading its quality. Bale wrappers are used for bailing at a large scale, several bale wrappers are available which provide uniform bailing in very less time. Depending upon the application, manufacturers provide multi-layer blown extruded plastic films for bale wrapping, which are compatible with various kinds of balers.

Bale Wrap Market: Dynamics
Use of bale wraps ensures that the bales are able to withstand harsh climate and retain the quality of silage for longer durations. This is expected to boost the demand for bale wraps across all the regions during the forecast period. Plastic bale wraps are expected to have a positive outlook during the forecast period, attributing to the high tensile strength and tear resistance that they promise to offer.
Among the various product types, twine is the least expensive material for bailing, but its fails to provide complete protection against moisture. While, plastic wraps provide superior barrier against moisture but are expensive than other types of bailing materials. This higher cost can be justified by the high-quality dry baleage obtained. Also, manufacturers are producing plastic bale wraps which provide UV protection, superior puncture resistance as well as good clinging properties, as added benefits to the conventional bale wraps. Moreover, knitted wraps account for majority of the share in the global bale wrap market, these wraps possess superior strength when compared to extruded net wraps.
Several unorganized regional players in the emerging economies are expected to contribute to the global bale wraps market during the forecast period. Although these players might not pose a threat to the Tier 1 players, but can cause a shift in pricing trends of bale wraps. Furthermore, the threat of substitutes for bale wraps is fairly low as bailing needs to be done to protect bales from environmental damages. However, the internal threat of substitutes among twine, net wraps and plastic wraps is high. Farmers opt for different wrapping options depending upon their needs and budget.
