by Commercial greenhouses allow farmers to maximize use of space and grow crops all year round regardless of outdoor weather conditions. They are enclosed structures with walls and roofs made mainly of transparent material such as glass or plastic which allows natural light penetration to aid photosynthesis in plants. With controlled environment, greenhouses provide regulated temperature, humidity as well as delivery of nutrients and water to optimize plant growth. They help cultivate a wide variety of vegetation including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, flowers and more.
The global Commercial Greenhouse Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period 2024-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key Trends
The rising need for locally grown and organic produce has boosted adoption of commercial greenhouses in recent years. Advantages of greenhouses such as reducing usage of synthetic chemicals and delivering high yield crops throughout the year have prompted many farmers and cultivators worldwide to adopt smart greenhouse technologies for organic produce. Automation solutions for environmental control, irrigation, crop monitoring and harvesting are witnessing strong uptake. Moreover, vertical farming using multi-layer greenhouses is gaining popularity as it helps increase farmable area by growing crops indoors in stacked layers. This allows urban farming and fresh local supply of fruits and vegetables to urban populations. Use of LED grow lights is also gaining traction as they offer more efficient light spectrum customized for various crops compared to traditional lighting solutions. The commercial greenhouse industry is witnessing rapid innovations fueling market growth over the forecast period.
