Detailed Segmentation:

Type Insights

Based on type, the market is bifurcated into glass and plastic. The plastic greenhouse segment is further classified into polyethylene, polycarbonate, and polymethyl-methacrylate. The plastic segment accounted for the largest revenue share of about 58% in 2022 and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. One of the major benefits of the plastic greenhouse over glass greenhouse is the low installation cost.

Offering Insights

The hardware segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of about 62% in 2022. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for hardware among farmers for maintaining a suitable environment in greenhouse farming. A suitable environment is being maintained by using climate control systems. The hardware plays a significant role in maintaining the environment in greenhouses. Farmers are increasingly adopting contemporary smart agriculture and innovative technology.

Crop Type Insights

The fruits, vegetables & herbs segment accounted for about 56% of the revenue share in 2022 and is expected to dominate the target market during the forecast period. The increasing cultivation of commonly grown fruits and vegetables in greenhouses is propelling the segment's growth. All year-long vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, and Leafy Greens (excluding lettuce) can be grown without having to worry about the temperature, weather, or other environmental changing factors.

End-user Insights

The commercial growers segment dominated with a revenue share of about 37% in 2022. The growth of the segment is attributed to the increasing popularity of greenhouse farming due to its offered benefits coupled with rising its adoption among commercial growers. It helps the growers to keep them updated with the growing technology, industry trends, pest control techniques, and other crucial information that make them effective growers.

Regional Insights

Europe accounted for the major revenue share of about 32.0% in 2022 and is estimated to expand at a significant CAGR from 2023 to 2030. The growing population of Europe coupled with the decreasing land availability for farming is the major factor increasing the popularity of greenhouse farming in the region. Growing produce to feed this vast population may not be possible with traditional farming techniques, hence there is a growing need for technology-driven agriculture.
