Commercial greenhouses offer different types of covering materials such as glass or plastic roofs, and frequently glass or plastic walls. An emerging application with high growth potential, commercial greenhouses use several technologies such as heating systems, cooling systems, ventilation systems, LED grow light, communication technology, irrigation system, and control systems.
Controlled environment plant production systems are used widely throughout the world to grow plants at a particular time or place, of a quality that cannot be obtained outdoors. Controlled environment agriculture requires far more capital investments per unit area than field agriculture and must thus be correspondingly more intensive to justify investment costs. The commercial greenhouse industry will have a variety of growth prospects in the future as more people become aware of the technologies that commercial greenhouses utilize for increased yields. The use of renewable energy sources in various applications will be crucial to the expansion of this market throughout the projected period.
Market Dynamics
Drivers: Need for higher yields using limited space and water
One of the main advantages of greenhouse farming is its higher yield compared to conventional farming methods. Enclosed facilities create optimum growing conditions for farmers to grow a crop from seed to the harvesting stages in lesser time and obtain higher yields in each cycle with limited land area. According to USDA data, in 2020, the average yield of tomatoes grown in greenhouse hydroponics was 10.59 pounds per square foot, and that of traditionally grown tomatoes was 1.85 pounds per square foot. Therefore, greenhouse farms can increase the overall crop yield by stacking additional layers and increasing the growing area. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, food production must increase by 70% by 2050 to meet global food requirements. Since urbanization is taking over arable land while simultaneously decreasing the total agricultural land area, greenhouse farming is a viable option to help meet the food requirements of the increasing population. The level of water wastage is less when compared to conventional farming. Greenhouse farms recirculate and reuse water; an average of 95% less water is required to grow the same crops as compared to outdoor farming. When plants or crops are grown in vertical greenhouses, the transpiration process occurs, which makes it feasible for farmers to reuse the water for irrigation purposes.
Restraints: Limited variety of crops suited to greenhouse farming
Greenhouse farming is suited only to a limited variety of crops and is thus not an attractive option for many growers. Numerous parameters such as temperature adjustment, adequate water supply management, identification, and supply of nutrients to plants, growth mechanism to be adopted, and individual harvest time of plants must be considered before taking up greenhouse plantation. Fruits and vegetables are the most suited for vertical farming, as they require less time to grow, low water supply, and less sunlight. However, only a few varieties of fruits and vegetables can be produced using controlled-environment farming. For instance, some fruits and vegetables have many edible parts such as leaves, stems, and roots. These plant species are not suited to vertical farming.
Crops such as sugarcane, rice, and wheat require a high amount of water and more harvesting time, and are hence, difficult to cultivate using greenhouse farming. Rice and wheat are major crops in the APAC region and are grown year-around to feed the growing population. These crops are difficult to grow in greenhouses; this result in slow penetration of commercial greenhouse farming in these regions.
Opportunities: R&D initiatives to improve greenhouse farming methods
Agriculture, as a field, attracts the most scientific R&D. Climate change challenges and environmental concerns have resulted in the development of various methods to ensure food security worldwide. Greenhouse farming is attracting scientists, researchers, and farmers. Experts are trying to introduce greenhouse farming to eliminate the basic problem of climate control in temperate regions. As per the Advanced Horticulture Research Facility, active cooling methods are useful in establishing an optimum environment. Various methods are being studied, such as photovoltaic (PV)-based shading methods for the passive cooling of greenhouses. The current humidity-control techniques used in the protected cropping industry are being improved, and experts are identifying future research opportunities in this area. In 2020, the overall budget for the European Union (EU) was USD 197.1 billion. Spending on agriculture, rural development and fisheries amounted to USD 69.2 billion, which was 35% of the total budget.
Challenges: Lack of temperature control systems to maintain optimum crop production conditions in warm regions
One of the key environmental elements influencing crop growth, development, yield, and particularly the pace of development, is temperature. Crops have fundamental requirements for temperature to finish a whole life cycle. Extremely low and high temperatures can have a negative impact on crop development, growth, and yield, especially at crucial stages like flowering. Urban and semi-urban areas of developing countries are attracting a lot of attention for commercial greenhouse farming techniques. Temperature control in tropical regions like Middle-east, parts of asia-pacific and Africa is challenging owing to its hot and humid climate which hampers the crop growth. Maintaining the climate in such warm regions require unique approaches compared to the techniques used in temperate conditions. Suitable technologies are urgently required to maintain an optimum growing environment in these regions
