Asia-Pacific Commercial Greenhouse Market Outlook 2027

Asia-Pacific is heavily based on the agriculture sector and poses an attractive base for the commercial greenhouse market. The constantly increasing population across the region and the constantly increasing demand for food has created higher demands for alternative farming methods. The Asia-Pacific region has witnessed the fastest growth for the commercial greenhouse sector compared to other regions such as North America and Europe. Asia-Pacific had nearly a 22% market share in the global commercial greenhouse market in 2021. As economies grow and people demand a higher standard of living, personal health and well-being have become a top priority for the Asia-Pacific region. Due to that, an increasing number of consumers are searching for fresh leafy vegetables that are free from pesticides and safe to eat raw. Greenhouse farming is aiming to be a viable option to meet these consumer demands. Various developing economies, such as India, Australia, Indonesia, and Singapore, are adapting greenhouse farming methods to enhance their agriculture sector. Greenhouse farming provides a higher yield compared to traditional farming. Moreover, increasing urbanization and technological advancement have propelled higher market growth for the Asia-Pacific commercial greenhouse market.

According to the report titled 'Asia-Pacific Commercial Greenhouse Market Outlook, 2027' the greenhouse market is anticipated to grow at a 7.95% CAGR for 2022-2027. The demand for commercial greenhouses in the region is projected to witness higher market growth owing to the growing investments by both governments and key players in the commercial greenhouse market. Furthermore, the growing agricultural sector in the region is further projected to augment this demand in the coming years. The Asia-Pacific commercial greenhouse market is segmented into five prominent countries, including China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Korea. Among these countries, China is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period.

China has more than 20 years of experience in the development of the greenhouse industry. There are a variety of crop cultivation technologies in China, ranging from low input to high-tech greenhouses. The area of greenhouses in China accounts for over 80% of the world's total greenhouse area at present. A greenhouse in Shandong with an area of 90,000 square meters, including 80,000 square meters for planting and 10,000 square meters for operation (with an investment of 210 million yuan), is projected to be the most advanced greenhouse in China. The length of a tomato vine is more than 20 meters after a complete growing season. In addition to that, the new greenhouse of Kaisheng Haofeng is currently the largest single-site high-tech vegetable greenhouse operation with 26 hectares of production area in mainland China.

According to the report, the Asia-Pacific commercial greenhouse market is segmented into glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses. Among these types, the plastic greenhouse segment is leading the market with more than 60% market share. In China alone, plastic sheeting for plastic greenhouses has covered about 3% of its farmland (4 million hectares out of 128 million hectares of arable land).These greenhouse farms produce 35% of China’s vegetables. From 2013 to 2017, China covered about 1 million hectares of farmland each year. Most of the greenhouses in China are more loosely covered with plastic sheeting over farmland. This sheeting can make the land about 10 times more productive than the same area of regular farmland. China is planning to have over 2 million hectares of greenhouse buildings by 2025, with mechanized-automation farming. Further, the market is segmented into three technology types, including cooling systems, heating systems, and others (lighting, irrigation, fertigation systems, shading, etc.). Among these types, heating systems are leading the market with more than 63% market share during the forecast period. The southern sections of Asia are mild to hot, while far northeastern areas such as Siberia are very cold, and East Asia has a temperate climate. These climate situations create higher demands for heating technology for the commercial greenhouse market.

COVID-19 impacts

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted various industries across the globe. In Asia-Pacific also, many major industries witnessed a drastic drop owing to the various governments' imposed lockdowns. Revenue generation for these industries decreased as production units came to a halt due to a labor shortage. The supply chain for agricultural equipment and crops was disrupted. However, by the first quarter of 2021, the agriculture industry again started to gain higher momentum as consumers' focus is more concentrated on organic food consumption. Also, major companies are coming up with higher enhancements, which will propel the market growth for the Asia-Pacific commercial greenhouse market.
