The environment controllers market for agricultural greenhouse market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent years, the market size for environmental controllers in the agricultural greenhouse market has witnessed robust growth. The market is set to expand from $5.31 billion in 2024 to $5.71 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.
The historical growth in this market is due to a surge in demand for controlled environment agriculture (CEA), escalating population and concerns about food security, efforts to optimize crop yield and quality, efficient utilization of resources and a focus on sustainability, coupled with government backing and incentives.
The environment controllers market for agricultural greenhouse market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the market for environmental controllers in the agricultural greenhouse market is predicted to witness significant growth. The market is set to expand to "$8.03 billion by 2029, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%.
The growth during this forecast period is primarily due to strategies adapting to climate change, advanced agriculture, digital farming, heightened interest in indoor farming, the worldwide shift towards sustainable agriculture, market-centric innovation, and customization. The forecast period will also see leading trends such as the execution of climate control approaches, automated water management, and irrigation, adoption of sustainable methods, emphasis on user-friendly interfaces, and remote management and regulation via mobile devices.
The expected surge in the environment controllers' market for the agricultural greenhouse market is attributed to the escalating investments in vertical farming. Vertical farming, a technique where crops are cultivated in vertically piled layers or shelves under artificial lights and controlled environmental conditions, including nutrient supply utilizing vertical space, is driving this growth. By employing environment controller systems, optimal cultivation conditions are created for plants in vertical farming. Factors such as temperature, carbon dioxide, oxygen, lighting, humidity, nutrient content, pH, insect control, watering, and harvesting are all considered to enhance yield. For instance, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, as reported by Al-Monitor, LLC, a US-based news agency in March 2023, launched a new vertical farming initiative in Saudi Arabia and across the Middle East and North Africa, in partnership with Aero Farms, a US-based sustainable indoor agricultural firm. This was due to the rising population and the shrinking arable land, setting a crop production goal of 1.1 million kilograms (2.4 pounds) per year. Hence, the growing investment in vertical farming is fueling the expansion of the environment controllers market for the agricultural greenhouse market.
