China Commercial Greenhouse Market Overview, 2029

China’s agricultural landscape is marked by its vast diversity, with a crop culture that ranges from rice, wheat, and maize in staple grains to vegetables, fruits, and tea. China is the world’s largest producer of rice and a major global player in the production of soybeans, cotton, and corn. With a population of over 1.4 billion, China’s food security is a top priority, driving advancements in yield production through the use of modern agricultural techniques, including high-yield crop varieties, improved irrigation systems, and smart farming technologies. However, China faces challenges such as limited arable land, soil degradation, and water scarcity, which have led to the government promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Initiatives like the Rural Revitalization Strategy and the development of eco-friendly farming technologies are aimed at boosting agricultural productivity while addressing environmental concerns. China’s strong focus on food security and modernization of its agricultural sector is central to its development goals. China's vast land area and diverse climate zones create a highly favourable environment for greenhouse cultivation. From the frigid regions in the north to the subtropical climates in the south, there are immense opportunities for greenhouse farming across the country. This diversity allows for a wide range of crops to be grown throughout the year, catering to both domestic and international markets. China's rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to the reduction of arable land. Greenhouses provide a practical solution to maximize crop production within limited spaces.

According to the research report "China Commercial Greenhouse Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the China Commercial Greenhouse market is anticipated to grow at more than 8.78% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. The commercial greenhouse market in China has seen remarkable growth, driven by the need to meet increasing demand for fresh, high-quality produce year-round. The rapid urbanization of China has shifted consumer preferences toward healthier diets, increasing the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables. Greenhouses provide the perfect solution by enabling controlled environments for the continuous cultivation of crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. China’s adoption of plastic greenhouses, particularly in regions with harsh climates, has been widespread due to their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and adaptability to advanced technologies like hydroponics, vertical farming, and automated climate control systems. The government has been actively supporting greenhouse development through subsidies, investments in agricultural technology, and policies promoting sustainable farming.

In the China commercial greenhouse market, the greenhouse type segment is primarily divided into two categories: glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses. Plastic greenhouses dominate the market, accounting for the largest share, with a revenue share of around 58% in 2023. The dominance of plastic greenhouses is attributed to their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and versatility. The plastic greenhouse segment is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period, driven by the increasing demand for affordable and efficient greenhouse solutions. The Chinese government's support for sustainable agriculture and the country's favorable climate contribute to the growth of the commercial greenhouse market. China is also home to a significant number of greenhouse manufacturers, with a strong focus on innovative and sustainable greenhouse technologies. The country's agricultural sector is also shifting towards more sustainable practices, driving the demand for commercial greenhouses.

In the China commercial greenhouse market, the technology segment is divided into Heating Systems, Cooling Systems, and Others. Currently, Heating Systems are the leading technology type, primarily due to the country's diverse climate and the need for year-round crop production. The use of advanced heating solutions, such as biomass and geothermal systems, is essential for maintaining optimal growing conditions, especially during the colder months. This demand is driven by the increasing need for fresh produce and the government's emphasis on food security and sustainable agriculture. Reports indicate that heating systems are crucial for ensuring consistent temperatures and humidity levels, which significantly enhance crop yield and quality. Although Cooling Systems play a vital role in managing heat during warmer periods, their market presence is overshadowed by the necessity of effective heating solutions.

COVID-19 Impacts:
The commercial environment greenhouse business is not exempt from the ongoing effects of the corona virus (COVID-19) menace in the China. 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 China. 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 China 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.
