The commercial greenhouse market is expected to grow from US$ 38 billion in 2022 to US$ 62 billion by 2028; it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2022 to 2028.
Greenhouses are enclosed structures that are equipped with lighting systems, climate control systems, irrigation systems, and ventilation systems, among others, that provide a favorable environment for growing crops. Various crops such as fruits, vegetables, herbs and leafy greens, ornamental plants, and flowers can be grown in greenhouses. Free-standing greenhouses, gutter-connected greenhouses, multi-tunnel greenhouses, and cold frames greenhouses, among others, are a few of the major types of commercial greenhouses used for growing crops. Greenhouse farming also involves using modern agricultural techniques such as hydroponics and aeroponics. Hydroponics is a technique that grows crops without using soil. The plants are grown in nutrient-rich media and in a controlled atmosphere. In aeroponics, plants are grown in a mist environment without using soil or any aggregate medium. The rising global population, rapid urbanization, and introduction of new technologies in the agriculture industry are all driving the growth of the commercial greenhouse market.
MARKET DYNAMICS
Over the past few years, people are increasingly shifting to urban areas in search of better employment opportunities and other amenities such as education and healthcare. According to the United Nations, ~68% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas by 2050. Due to rapid urbanization, the availability of arable land has been declining. Conventional agriculture techniques involve high usage of land, water, labor, and other resources. However, greenhouse farming requires less land and labor compared to traditional agriculture. Moreover, greenhouses protect crops from harsh environmental conditions and pest attacks. This factor is driving the growth of the commercial greenhouse market over the forecast period.
