A commercial greenhouse raises plants intended for sale to businesses. They are frequently cutting-edge facilities designed expressly to raise the targeted crops. The adoption of commercial greenhouses in traditional agriculture has also been pushed by climatic changes, and this trend will spur the market's expansion even further. Additionally, one of the main factors influencing the growth of commercial greenhouses is their ability to produce high yields in comparison to conventional farming methods. Due to the difficult climatic circumstances, commercial greenhouses maintain a major portion of the market because this type of crop growing is the most popular. Due to their extensive coverage, the greenhouses may have had a localized cooling effect due to the large amount of sunshine that their white roofs reflect.
the French government's low-carbon policy intends to promote green agriculture by promoting carbon storage in soils. French farmers applaud the approach, but they want additional subsidies to make the move financially feasible. A Low Carbon Label, introduced by the government in 2019, provides for the formal certification of initiatives and engagements that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and absorb CO2. Therefore, such initiatives will contribute to the market's growth during the projected period.
For instance, Knorr's 50 restorative agriculture initiatives, which will be introduced over the next five years, will build on more than ten years of sustainable agriculture relationships with suppliers and farmers which culminated in 95% of Knorr's herbs and vegetables being obtained responsibly internationally. Yet, with food accounting for more than one-third of greenhouse gas emissions and being a primary cause of soil and biodiversity loss, procuring and growing in an environmentally friendly manner is insufficient. In October 2021, vegetable producer Ardo introduced strategies to promote soil health and climate resiliency in Pas de Calais (Northern France), in collaboration with PURProject and Green SOL, in response to lower yields owing to changes in meteorological conditions.
The France commercial greenhouse market is segmented into plastic and glass, based on type. Commercial greenhouses built of plastic have strong, lightweight covers that require less upkeep and materials. They design an atmosphere specifically for the grower's crops in order to maximize agricultural production. The roof and sides of these greenhouses are covered in polyethylene, copolymer plastic, polyvinyl plastic, or polycarbonate plastic in France. Horticultural float glass and diffuse glass are the two varieties of greenhouse glass that are available in France. Horticultural float glass is the common glass used in glass greenhouses around the nation.
By application, the France commercial greenhouse market is segmented into fruits and vegetables, flowers and ornaments, and nursery crops. Fruits and vegetables segment dominates the France commercial greenhouse market as growing health awareness among consumers, especially among the younger generation, is focusing on helping people get healthier and feel better. Additionally, consumers are choosing a healthier diet due to the rising prevalence of obesity and other related illnesses. For instance, the Les Saveurs de Jade farm in Brittany is one such commercial greenhouse facility that is spread across an area of 3 hectares and grows exotic fruits and citrus at the site.
