Commercial Greenhouse Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Product, Type, Equipment, Technology, Component, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Commercial Greenhouse Market is accounted for $35.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $76.2 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 13.6% during the forecast period. The most frequently used greenhouses are buildings with ancillaries and advanced machinery to generate the desired crops or by-products. With the proper use of water, fertilisers, chemicals, and other necessary ingredients, a commercial greenhouse can grow fruits, trees, flowers, or bushes. Many covers of various kinds can be used to produce a greenhouse environment. Commercial greenhouses, for instance, wrap their structures with polyethylene plastic. The ensuing buildings are less expensive and simpler to erect than glass.

According to NHB (National Horticulture Board) is the regulatory body in India for greenhouse farming, which is providing a 50.0% subsidy on a project of Rupees 112.0 lakhs maximum ceiling per beneficiary.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Higher harvest than traditional techniques

The climate in which crops grow can be more precisely controlled through greenhouse farming. If producers are able to correctly control the temperature, irrigation method, relative humidity, and sunlight, they can have a better crop. If they have so much control over their growth, farmers can keep their crops in good condition and predict how much they will produce. Because they can control the environment, farmers are able to produce crops of fruits, vegetables, and flowers all year long. Plant genetics can be improved by growing crops in the controlled environment of a greenhouse, leading to the creation of better cultivars. Moreover, it uses less water than a field does.

Restraint:

The need for accurate technology restraining the market growth

For greenhouse crops to thrive, a specific environmental condition is needed. As a result, it is essential to sustain ideal levels of warmth, humidity, and air quality. They need ideal water and light conditions to thrive. Depending on the stage of growth of each crop, the nutrients given to the plants should be regularly controlled and gradually increased to the proper levels. Producing greenhouse crops requires careful monitoring and fertiliser application with precision. This calls for a detailed study of the crop, weather patterns, and the ideal requirements of the crops. Hence, these crops can typically be effectively cultivated by a knowledgeable farmer.

Opportunity:

Technology developments in the commercial greenhouse industry

Artificial intelligence, smart irrigation systems, pH sensors, and temperature control software are a few examples of technological advancements that are significant trends in the commercial greenhouse business. To address with issues like disease prevention and insect management, indoor farmers may use technology like artificial intelligence, autonomous irrigation systems, pH sensors, and climate change. For instance, a US-based agriculture company introduced LUNA-an optical scanning system run by inch, a US-based business that continuously gathers imagery in greenhouses and analyses visual data from growth cycles. The software can identify dependable crops and notify farmers of problems as they occur. High-tech greenhouses are also sold by companies like AppHarvest and Kentucky Fresh Harvest, which contributes to the increase. Hence, it is projected that a rise in technological advancements in the commercial greenhouse sector would lead to a number of chances for market expansion.

Threat:

Lack of temperature control systems to maintain optimum crop production conditions

Temperature is one of the major environmental factors that affects crop growth, development, yield, and particularly the rate of development. Crops need a certain minimum temperature to complete their entire life cycle. Particularly during critical periods like flowering, extremely low or high temperatures can have a detrimental effect on crop development, growth, and output. Commercial greenhouse farming techniques are gaining a lot of attention in urban and semi-urban areas of emerging nations. Due to their hot and humid climate, which hinders agricultural growth, tropical regions including the Middle East, sections of Asia-Pacific, and Africa have difficulty controlling their temperatures.

Covid-19 Impact

The worldwide supply system has been severely disrupted by the COVID-19 epidemic, leading to food shortages and prices. Many greenhouse producers had trouble transferring their inventory out as a result of the supply-chain interruption. So, significant steps must be taken to enhance the food supply chain in order to be ready for any upcoming crises. The ongoing pandemic has raised awareness of how crucial it is to have remote agricultural operations. The combination of conventional farming practises with cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and intelligent controls is also expected to boost market expansion.

The fruits, vegetables & herbs segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The fruits, vegetables & herbs segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as vegetables grow beautifully in greenhouses. Vegetables can be grown all year long without having to worry about the weather, temperature, or other environmental factors changing. When vegetables are grown in greenhouses, the crops are shielded from adverse weather conditions like cold, wind, bugs, drought, scorching heat, and animals trying to devour them. Due to the controlling variables present in greenhouses, such as moisture, light, temperature, fertiliser, humidity, and irrigation, growing vegetables there also enables the creation of the best conditions for the crops.

The commercial growers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The commercial growers segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the advantages it offers, greenhouse farming is becoming more and more popular, which has led to a rise in its use by commercial producers. It helps the producers stay informed about emerging technologies, market trends, pest management methods, and other vital knowledge that makes them successful growers. Also, government agencies are giving growers some financial aid, which is thought to accelerate market expansion.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the expanding population and the necessity for alternative high-yield farming methods to provide food security, the greenhouse market is predicted to experience strong expansion. In addition, because greenhouse farming produces a better yield than traditional farming, several developing countries, including Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, and India, are implementing greenhouse farming practises to strengthen their agricultural sectors.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to Growing greenhouse farming operations are becoming increasingly common in Europe as a result of the continent's expanding population and declining agricultural land availability. There is an increasing demand for technology-driven agriculture since it may not be possible to grow enough food to feed this enormous population using traditional farming methods.
