Europe Commercial Greenhouse Market

Europe Commercial Greenhouse Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Europe commercial greenhouse market size share is expected to reach USD 329.3 Million by 2030 from reach USD 205.7 Million in 2023 and USD 273.93 in 2024, registering at a CAGR of 4.89% from 2024 to 2029. 

Current Scenario of the Europe Commercial Greenhouse Market  

Growing crops like vegetables, flowers, trees, cannabis, and shrubs in greenhouses for commercial consumption is the latest trend to yield a high crop production rate. The commercial greenhouse is equipped with high-tech facilities to grow crops by steadily controlling the environment. The plants are grown in specific controlled temperatures irrespective of the outdoor climatic conditions. These conditions help provide the optimal production rate of the crops, which is a huge positive factor in adopting these facilities in the agriculture industry. 

Market Drivers

High investments in the agriculture industry by government authorities to provide sustainable food products with the rising concern towards food insecurity is a major factor propelling the growth rate of the Europe commercial greenhouse market. The benefits of commercial greenhouse farming positively impact sustainable food production. The prominence of precision farming activities is surging day by day, and the incorporation of precision farming with the greenhouse is positively impacting the market share. In addition, the rising demand to utilize water sources carefully due to increasing scarcity is a positive sign that the market will grow enormously. The commercial greenhouse technique needs very little space and water to grow the plants, which is grabbing the attention of the higher authorities to promote these farming procedures. Rapidly increasing population and decreasing space for arable land, especially in urban cities, is likely to surge the growth rate of the Europe commercial greenhouse market. The commercial greenhouse is gaining a lot of attention in developed countries due to increasing awareness of the need to promote advanced technological developments in the agricultural sector and adopt these technologies to increase crop production rates. 

Market Restraints

The high cost of installation and maintenance of the greenhouse farming technique is merely to degrade the growth rate of the European commercial greenhouse market. The investment needed to install advanced equipment for cultivating crops using greenhouse technology is very high. Small-scale farmers could invest huge amounts, which impeding the market size. Also, the lack of skilled people to use this technique in a more effective way is hindering the market growth rate. 

Market Opportunities

Increasing research and development activities in favor to the end users with the latest technological developments is likely to create huge growth opportunities for the market. The need for the commercial greenhouse is eventually increasing with the growing prominence to supply the food chain respectively. The intention to sustain the growing food insecurity concern in Europe using these technologies is likely to fuel the growth rate of the market. 

Food and Agriculture organizations of the united Nations, Europe is overcoming the food insecurity challenges and is likely to achieve its goal to reach zero hunger basically by adopting the new technological developments in the agriculture like commercial greenhouse. 

Market Challenges

The consumption of energy due to the continuous presence of LED lights to maintain a controlled environment around the clock is negatively impacting the growth rate of the market. The challenge to lower the energy consumption in commercial greenhouse techniques is eventually to increase the demand to adopt the traditional way of agricultural process. The number of external factors like diseases that reduce crop production is ascribed to impede the market size.
