Increasing population and low availability of arable land are the key factors driving the growth of the commercial greenhouse market. The vine seed production in greenhouse farming is more than double that of conventional cultivation, attributed to regulated media and environmental conditions. For instance, in July 2022, according to a report published by the United Nations, the current world population stood at 7.9 billion in 2021, with projected increases to 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.9 billion in 2100. in 2030, 660 million people may still experience hunger. As a result, current arable land is under pressure to grow more food by using soil treatment devices. Thus, the situation of increasing food demand and decreasing arable land is expected to boost the growth of the commercial greenhouse market, which provides a better harvest both in terms of quality and quantity than the traditional methods.

The increasing demand for organic food is anticipated to propel the growth of the commercial greenhouse market going forward.
