North America Commercial Greenhouse Market Research Report, 2027

Greenhouse farming is the agricultural practice of growing crops in sheltered structures covered by transparent materials such as glass, shade, screen or even crop top structures. Greenhouses get their name from the fact that these structures consist of house plants or greenery. Greenhouse farming allows farmers to increase their performance and yields while improving the quality of their products. For the North American region, rising populations and growing demand for food are creating greater opportunities for alternative farming methods. According to the United States population division, the global population has increased nearly fourfold in the past 100 years, and it is projected to reach 9.2 billion by 2050. And every day, around 7.7 billion people consume 14.5 million tonnes of food. Also, a shortage of agricultural land across the region is also boosting the demand for greenhouse farming. From the obtained data, in 2018, only 25.62% of land was agricultural land in the North American region. In addition to that, the rising utilization of IoT, Big Data, and Analytics in commercial greenhouses is expected to further grow steadily across the forecast period by providing opportunities to the market. According to the report titled "North America Commercial Greenhouse Market Research Report, 2027", published by Actual Market Research, the market was valued at USD 9.2 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to expand at more than 8% CAGR for 2022–2027. The rising demand for flowers and ornamentals is likely to create opportunities for the market. Rising purchasing power and a growing event industry in the major urban cities of the regions, especially in the U.S., are certainly estimated to provide wide avenues for the growth of greenhouse-grown ornamental products over the forecast period. Further, owing to the increasing demand from consumers for a wide variety of year-round produce, it is anticipated to fuel the overall market growth. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2019, the number of farms in the United States is estimated at 2023400. The North American commercial greenhouse market is segmented into three prominent countries, including the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Among these countries, the USA is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. According to the research, it has been estimated that there are more than 8,750 greenhouse vegetable farms present in the USA. Many projects and expansions occur under the radar, and the speed at which growers are scaling up, the market is expected to witness robust market growth during the forecast period. Also, Eastern Kentucky is now home to the largest greenhouse of its kind in North America. According to obtained data, the largest number of greenhouse vegetable growers/producers is located in the states of Pennsylvania (593), New York (435), California (427), Maine (386), and Michigan (341). Furthermore, in 2019, a US-based precision agriculture company introduced LUNA, an optical scanner system operated by inch, a US-based organization that constantly captures imagery in greenhouses and analyses visual data from growth cycles. According to the report, North America's commercial greenhouse market is segmented into two types, including plastic greenhouses and glass greenhouses. Among these types, more than 65% of the market share has been occupied by plastic greenhouses. Traditionally, the glass greenhouse type was highly in demand as it enables a classy look with higher stability. However, plastic greenhouses have better heat retention properties that let out less heat compared to glass greenhouses. Heat retention is the most important factor for effective greenhouse performance. The plastic greenhouse segment is projected to grow with a rapid CAGR for 2022–2027. Further, the market is segmented into cooling systems and heating systems. Depending upon the cold weather and climate changes across the North America region, it is estimated that heating system is highly in demand in commercial greenhouses. It is anticipated to grow at more than 8% CAGR during the forecast period. Further, the market is segmented into three components, including low-tech, high-tech, and medium-tech. Among these types, the high-tech greenhouse segment is dominating the market. Owing to higher penetration of advanced technologies into North America's agriculture industry, the market is anticipated to witness higher adoption of high-tech greenhouses across the region. The accuracy and effectiveness provided by high technology are projected to drive the market. Based on crop type, the vegetable segment is leading the market. This is mainly owing to the benefits of growing vegetables in greenhouses, such as growing off-season crops, providing a suitable climate for crops, obtaining export quality vegetables, protection and control against extreme weather and pests and diseases, which are some of the factors driving the market growth. COVID-19 Impacts: The pandemic has heavily impacted the North American commercial greenhouse market. Companies in the agriculture industry saw a significant drop in production units during the outbreak due to strict government regulations, imposed lockdowns, and a labor shortage.
