In Iraq, the wire mesh market is heavily influenced by the arid climate and high salinity in certain soil regions. This environmental pressure makes standard wire prone to rapid oxidation, driving a high demand for galvanized hexagonal wire netting which provides a critical zinc barrier against corrosion.
The livestock sector, particularly poultry farming in the outskirts of Baghdad and Basra, relies heavily on plastic poultry mesh to maintain biosecurity and animal safety. However, there is a noticeable shift toward hybrid materials that combine the strength of steel with the flexibility of polymers.
Current market trends show that contractors are moving away from basic uncoated options, favoring coated chicken wire fence to combat the intense UV radiation and sandy wind erosion common across the Iraqi plains.
