USA Commercial Greenhouse Market Overview, 2029

Agriculture in the USA is highly diversified and advanced, playing a crucial role in both the domestic economy and global food supply. The country is known for large-scale production of crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton, with regions like the Midwest referred to as the "Corn Belt" due to their high productivity. The population of the USA, with its high demand for diverse agricultural products, drives innovation in farming techniques aimed at increasing yield and sustainability. Yield production has steadily improved over the decades, thanks to advancements in biotechnology, precision farming, and mechanization. Despite these gains, the USA faces challenges such as soil degradation, water shortages in the West, and climate change, which has led to an increased focus on sustainable practices and regenerative agriculture. Government support, such as subsidies and research funding, continues to play a key role in boosting agricultural output while addressing environmental concerns.

According to the research report "USA Commercial Greenhouse Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the USA Commercial Greenhouse market is anticipated to grow at more than 9.37% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. The commercial greenhouse market in the USA has been growing rapidly, driven by several key factors. First, the demand for locally grown, fresh produce year-round has spurred the expansion of greenhouses, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. Crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens are commonly grown in these controlled environments, ensuring consistent quality and supply. Second, the adoption of advanced technologies such as hydroponics, automated climate control systems, and energy-efficient LED lighting has made greenhouses more efficient and profitable. Third, concerns over climate change and extreme weather conditions have led to a shift towards greenhouses, which offer better protection for crops and improved resource use, particularly water and energy. The greenhouse market’s growth is also supported by rising investments from both private and government entities aiming to enhance food security and reduce the environmental footprint of traditional agriculture. This trend is expected to continue as consumer preferences shift towards healthier, organic, and sustainably grown produce.

In the USA commercial greenhouse market, the By Greenhouse Type segment comprises glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses, both offering unique advantages. Glass greenhouses, traditionally used for their durability and ability to provide consistent light transmission, are favored in regions with stable weather conditions and for crops requiring steady light exposure. However, plastic greenhouses, particularly those made from polyethylene or polycarbonate, have gained significant traction due to their lower installation costs, flexibility, and enhanced UV protection. They are more adaptable to varying climate conditions and allow for better control over humidity and temperature, making them ideal for a wide range of crops. Currently, plastic greenhouses lead the market due to their affordability, energy efficiency, and ease of construction. They also offer flexibility in terms of scaling operations, which aligns with the growing demand for locally sourced produce and year-round crop production. Their capacity to integrate advanced technologies like automated climate control and efficient irrigation systems further boosts their popularity in the USA's rapidly expanding commercial greenhouse industry.
In the USA commercial greenhouse market, the technology type segment includes cooling systems, heating systems, and others (such as lighting, ventilation, and irrigation technologies). Cooling systems are currently the leading technology in the market, primarily due to the varied climate across the country. In regions with hot summers, such as California, Texas, and Florida, cooling systems are essential to maintain optimal growing conditions for crops in greenhouses. These systems help regulate temperature, ensuring that plants can thrive even in extreme heat. Given that the USA has diverse climatic zones, cooling technologies are critical for preventing crop damage from overheating, particularly in the summer months. Heating systems are also important, especially in colder regions like the northern states, but they are secondary to cooling systems in terms of market share. The rising demand for energy-efficient solutions, as well as the push toward sustainable agriculture, is driving innovation in both cooling and heating technologies, making them integral to greenhouse operations.

COVID-19 Impacts:
The commercial environment greenhouse business is not exempt from the ongoing effects of the corona virus (COVID-19) menace in the United States (US). The COVID-19 epidemic is having a detrimental effect on agriculture's whole supply chain, which has an effect on the demand for commercial greenhouses. The epidemic is causing lockdown conditions over the United States (US). The supply-chain interruption has made it difficult for many producers in the greenhouse sector to ship their goods. In addition, the government of the United States (US) has declared a state of lockdown and ordered social isolation in an effort to stop the spread of the disease, which has caused imports and exports to be slowed down and limited. Due to their inadequate supply chains, suppliers to commercial greenhouses suffered.

The approach of the report:
This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research. Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and listing out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analyzing the government generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducted trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources.

Intended audience
