Attractive Characteristics of Tarpaulin Sheets Escalating Demand in the Market
Tarpaulin sheets are an outstanding source of protection and safeguarding for companies to protect their product/goods. These sheets are made from materials such as polyethylene, canvas, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyamide.
Polyethylene tarpaulin sheets are generally produced from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) which has excellent hardness, high-temperature and chemical resistance, and excellent mechanical strength.
However, in recent years tarpaulin sheets made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) have gained wider popularity due to their various attractive benefits. Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) tarpaulin sheets are made from polyester filament base fabric and coated with PVC resin on both sides of the sheet.
PVC-coated tarpaulin has excellent rain resistance when compared to polypropylene (PP) and PE tarpaulin sheets. Along with the coating of PVC resin, the tarpaulin sheets are also treated with anti-fungal and antistatic agents to enhance their properties.
Hence, growing awareness about the attractive features of tarpaulin sheets will elevate demand in the global market during the assessment period.

According to Future Market Insight, India’s tarpaulin sheets market is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2033. Demand for tarpaulin sheets across India is driven by the rapid expansion of the agriculture industry.
India is an agrarian country with agriculture and related sectors such as fisheries and forestry accounting for around 20.2% of the country’s GDP as per the International Trade Administration. A large portion of the Indian population relies on agriculture to earn a living. This in turn generates high demand for tarpaulin sheets as they are increasingly used for protecting and safeguarding crops and agricultural machinery.
Besides agriculture, the building and construction sector is also increasing with the rapid increase in the population rate in the country which will act as a growth factor for the tarpaulin sheets.
