The greenhouse horticulture market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The rapid expansion of the greenhouse horticulture market has been observed in recent years. Its size is projected to escalate from $32.62 billion in 2024 to $36.12 billion in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%.
Factors such as population growth and the subsequent food demand, climate uncertainties, a shift towards sustainable farming, urbanisation and shortage of land, globalisation of food supply chains have contributed to this historic growth.

• The market size of greenhouse horticulture is anticipated to experience a swift expansion in the forthcoming years. Its projected growth is up to $54.77 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%.
The surge in the predicted period can be linked to the increasing awareness about food security, the preference for locally sourced produce, strategies for countering climate change, governmental support and incentives, and the consumer's proclivity for organic and specialty crops. Foreseeable trends within this period encompass technological enhancements in crop management, innovation in greenhouse technology, focus on eco-friendly materials, custom greenhouse designs, and smart greenhouses.
The anticipated surge in food needs is predicted to drive the expansion of the greenhouse horticulture market in the future. When the appetite for food among the population surpasses the supply available, this creates a high demand for food. Greenhouse horticulture creates the ideal micro-environment for plant growth, facilitating faster fruit growth. The United States Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, a US government entity, stated in October 2024 that global food demand is anticipated to increase by 2.8 percent annually over the next decade. Hence, the greenhouse horticulture market is surging due to the high demand for food.
