Greenhouse Horticulture Global Market Report 2024

The greenhouse horticulture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $29.64 billion in 2023 to $32.88 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The historical period's growth can be ascribed to factors such as population expansion and increased demand for food, climate variability, a transition towards sustainable agriculture, urbanization, and the constraints of land scarcity, along with the globalization of food supply chains.

The greenhouse horticulture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $48.67 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to factors such as increasing awareness of food security, a rising demand for locally grown produce, strategies for mitigating climate change, government support and incentives, and consumer preferences for organic and specialty crops. Notable trends expected in the forecast period involve technological innovations in crop management, advancements in greenhouse technology, emphasis on sustainable materials, specialized designs for greenhouses, and the emergence of smart greenhouses.

The greenhouse horticulture market is expected to experience growth due to a high demand for food. This high demand for food occurs when the population's need for food surpasses the available supply. Greenhouse horticulture provides an optimal microclimate for plant growth, enabling the accelerated cultivation of fruits. According to Nature Portfolio in July 2021, the global food demand is projected to increase from 35% to 56% between 2010 and 2050. Hence, the surge in food demand is a driving factor for the growth of the greenhouse horticulture market.

The growth of the greenhouse horticulture market is also anticipated to be fueled by the increasing prevalence of pest infestation. Pest infestation refers to the presence of a large number of pests that can cause harm or damage to plants, animals, structures, or human health. Greenhouse horticulture actively engages in researching and developing innovative pest management approaches, including host resistance, biological control, and cultural practices. These novel approaches aim to reduce pesticide usage while preserving crop quality and output. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in June 2021, pests lead to an annual loss of up to 40% in global crop production. Additionally, plant diseases incur a cost exceeding $220 billion to the global economy each year, while invasive insects result in losses of around $70 billion annually. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of pest infestation is a key driver behind the growth of the greenhouse horticulture market.

Product innovations stand out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the greenhouse horticulture market, with companies striving to secure their positions through inventive solutions. An example of this is Heliospectra, a Sweden-based provider of intelligent LED grow lights for greenhouses, launching MITRA Flex in February 2023. MITRA Flex is a wirelessly controllable flexible far-red light featuring three spectra in one. This adaptable far-red light is well-suited for personalized and application-based growing, including end-of-day or end-of-production light treatments to ensure year-round crop health in low-light seasons.

Major players in the greenhouse horticulture market are adopting advanced methods such as indoor vertical farming to enhance their competitiveness. Indoor vertical farming involves cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers or towers within a confined environment. For instance, in January 2022, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) introduced an innovative indoor farming technique that integrates plant science and environmental control methods to optimize plant growth in enclosed spaces. This closed-loop system recycles and reuses resources such as water, air, and nutrients, ensuring sustainability and minimal environmental impact. Utilizing vertical farming structures, this technology maximizes space efficiency, leading to increased crop yield in a smaller footprint compared to traditional outdoor farming.

In March 2021, Netafim, an Israel-based irrigation equipment manufacturing company, acquired Gakon Horticultural Projects for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move allowed Netafim to broaden its offerings in the production and supply of greenhouse projects, meeting the growing demand for advanced farming methods. Gakon Horticultural Projects, a Netherlands-based greenhouse construction company, specializes in selling and installing greenhouses, heating installations, screening, and turnkey projects using steel and aluminum products.
