MARKET OVERVIEW:
Weed control mats, also known as landscape fabrics or weed barrier fabrics, are permeable materials designed to suppress weed growth while maintaining soil health. These mats allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil while blocking sunlight to prevent weed germination. They are commonly manufactured from woven or non-woven polypropylene/polyester and find applications in agriculture, landscaping, and construction sectors.
MARKET INSIGHT & GROWTH DRIVERS:
The market growth is driven by increasing gold mining activities, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Africa, where cyanide leaching remains the dominant extraction method. However, environmental concerns and stringent regulations pose challenges to market expansion.
