Market Growth Factors

Growing food demand owing to the increasing population, the growing awareness regarding food security, and the introduction of controlled environment agriculture are the key factors driving the global commercial greenhouse market. Automation, energy-efficient LED lighting, IoT, AI, and hydroponics are factors that have improved the efficiency of the plant-growing process, thereby driving market growth.

Government programs worldwide offer subsidies, grants and technical assistance to greenhouse crop growers. These programs aim to ease their entrance into the industry and to support research and development of sustainable and productive cultivation practices. The policies support the diffusion of greenhouse technologies and educational resources for farmers.

Urbanization and the loss of arable land have also driven adoption: commercial greenhouses can be located in urban areas, on open land, on rooftops, and can be used under extreme temperatures. The local production throughout the year also reduces carbon emissions associated with transport, which is driving the market towards sustainable and efficient food production.

Market Segmentation

By Type:

  • Free-standing Greenhouses: Comprise individual units standing alone, offering high versatility adaptable to various production scales, with cost-effective initial investment.
  • Gutter-connected Greenhouses: Consist of multiple bays connected by gutters, suited for large-scale operations due to space efficiency and uniform environment creation.

By Material Used:

  • Glass Green House: The dominant segment, comprising horticulture glass and others, valued for durability, high transparency, and long lifespan benefiting plant growth.
  • Plastic Green House: Includes polyethylene, polycarbonate, and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), favored for cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and ease of installation.

By Technology:

  • Heating System: Largest segment, vital for maintaining optimal growth environments, especially in colder regions with various heating options including energy-efficient systems.
