Global Smart Greenhouse Market, By Type (Hydroponic, Non-Hydroponic), By Technology (HVAC, LED Grow Light, Irrigation System, Material Handling, Valves, Control System, Sensor & Camera), By Component (Hardware, Software, Services), By Crops (Vegetables, Floriculture, Tree Seedlings, Others), By End User (Commercial Growers, Retail Gardens, Academic & Research Institutions, Others), By Region, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2027
The global smart greenhouse market is anticipated to witness an impressive growth in the forecast period, 2023-2027. This can be ascribed to rising food demand due to growing global population. The world population is expected to increase by about 35% reaching 9.74 billion in 2050. The growing need to meet the food needs of ever-increasing population is expected to support the growth of global smart greenhouse market. Additionally, increasing adoption of agriculture 4.0 solutions and growing use of artificial intelligence, internet of things, among others in the agricultural sector across the world is expected to fuel the market growth in the coming years. Furthermore, within a greenhouse the crops, fruits & vegetables, among others can be grown under controlled conditions and the produce can be obtained throughout the year irrespective of season or climatic variations. This in turn is expected to foster the market growth.
Rising Adoption of Rooftop Farming
The adoption of rooftop farming practices has significantly increased on account of the increasing demand for high quality organic foods. Rooftop farming is a practice comprising of cultivating vegetables, fruits, and flowers on the rooftop of a building. The rooftops of high buildings are generally use for the development of rooftop farms wherein green roofs, hydroponics and aeroponics system are used for growing different fruits & vegetables, crops, etc. The decreasing availability of arable land for cultivating crops has significantly contributed to the widespread adoption of rooftop farming techniques especially in urban areas. The growing adoption of rooftop farming is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of global smart greenhouse market.
Benefits Associated with Smart Greenhouses
There are numerous benefits associated with smart greenhouses such as growing fruits & vegetables, crops, etc. throughout the year irrespective of seasonal variations. Additionally, there are additional benefits that a smart greenhouse offers over conventional greenhouses such as within a smart greenhouse data about the crops and their growth pattern is recorded throughout the day for complete 24 hours. This data is then sent to the analytical platforms wherein it is analysed and if there are any bottlenecks or irregularities in the growth pattern, they are identified. This data also provides the farmers or cultivators with various insights on the crops. Using these insights, the cultivators can increase their overall yield. Additionally, the labor costs can also be minimized to a higher extent within a smart greenhouse setup as compared with a conventional greenhouse.
