Greenhouse Horticulture Market Report 2025

The greenhouse horticulture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $32.62 billion in 2024 to $36.12 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to population growth and food demand, climate variability, shift toward sustainable agriculture, urbanization and land scarcity, 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 $54.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing awareness of food security, demand for locally grown produce, climate change mitigation strategies, government support and incentives, consumer demand for organic and specialty crops. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovations in crop management, advancements in greenhouse technology, focus on sustainable materials, specialized greenhouse designs, smart greenhouses.

The growing demand for food is anticipated to drive the expansion of the greenhouse horticulture market in the coming years. High food demand occurs when the population's need for food surpasses the available supply. Greenhouse horticulture provides an optimal microclimate for plants, allowing for faster growth and cultivation of fruits. For instance, in October 2024, the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based government agency, projected that global food demand is expected to increase by 2.8 percent annually over the next decade. Consequently, the high demand for food is significantly fueling the growth of the greenhouse horticulture market.

The rising prevalence of pest infestations is expected to drive the growth of the greenhouse horticulture market in the coming years. Pest infestation refers to a significant presence of pests that can harm or damage plants, animals, structures, or human health. Greenhouse horticulture is actively engaged in researching and developing innovative pest management strategies, such as host resistance, biological control, and cultural practices. These novel approaches aim to reduce pesticide use while ensuring crop quality and yield. For instance, a report by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, a US-based department, indicated in March 2023 that pests account for a loss of 20% to 40% of global crop production each year. Additionally, plant diseases result in approximately $220 billion in economic losses worldwide annually, while invasive insects contribute to around $70 billion in damages. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of pest infestations is significantly driving 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.
