Netherlands Commercial Greenhouse Market Overview, 2029

The Netherlands, a small country with a highly developed agricultural sector, has a rich crop culture that is renowned for its diversity and quality. Despite its limited land area, the country is a major producer of a wide range of crops, including flowers, vegetables, and grains. The Dutch population has remained relatively stable in recent decades, but the agricultural sector has undergone significant transformations, with a shift towards more intensive and specialized production methods. Yield levels are consistently high, thanks to advanced agricultural technologies, efficient water management, and a focus on sustainable practices. The advantages of modern agricultural technology, techniques, and knowledge have expanded to farms of all sizes, economic levels, and agro-ecological regions. Commercial housing is the new way of agriculture, which provides higher yields. Greenhouse farming can boost crop yield by creating the best temperature conditions for plant development and producing more plants per square foot than open-field farming.

According to the research report "Netherlands Commercial Greenhouse Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Netherlands Commercial Greenhouse market is expected to reach a market size of more than USD 7.15 Billion by 2029. The commercial greenhouse industry in the Netherlands is one of the most advanced and competitive in the world. The country's favorable climate, abundant water resources, and strong infrastructure have created an ideal environment for greenhouse agriculture. Dutch greenhouse growers are known for their innovative techniques, high-tech equipment, and commitment to quality. The industry has experienced steady growth, driven by factors such as increasing demand for fresh, locally grown produce, technological advancements, and government support. While the Netherlands faces challenges related to energy costs and competition from other countries, its reputation as a global leader in greenhouse agriculture is well-established.

Glass and plastic greenhouses are the two most common varieties in the Dutch commercial greenhouse industry. Because of their exceptional light transmission and longevity, glass greenhouses are preferred for high-value crops like orchids and tomatoes. Smaller producers may be put off by their high maintenance and investment requirements. On the other hand, plastic greenhouses—especially those composed of polycarbonate and polyethylene—are becoming more popular because of their better insulating qualities and less building costs. Compared to glass, this insulation helps retain heat more efficiently, which lowers operating expenses and energy consumption. The market is currently dominated by plastic greenhouses due to their low cost and effectiveness in preserving ideal growing conditions. With more than 90 square kilometers of greenhouse space, the Netherlands boasts a thriving agricultural sector that demonstrates its creative methods.

Within the Netherlands' commercial greenhouse industry, the "By Technology Type" category includes heating systems, cooling systems, and other solutions such as lighting and ventilation. Heating systems are the most significant component of this category, as the cooler climate in the Netherlands requires effective temperature control to support year-round crop production. Dutch greenhouses often focus on heat-sensitive crops, such as tomatoes, peppers, and various flowers, which depend on stable warmth to achieve optimal yields and quality. The Netherlands is renowned for its innovative and sustainable greenhouse technologies, and heating systems exemplify this, with many facilities utilizing advanced solutions like geothermal heating, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and solar thermal technologies. Additionally, the government promotes the use of renewable energy in greenhouse operations, encouraging sustainable practices such as biomass heating to lower carbon emissions in accordance with the nation’s climate goals. While cooling systems are employed, their use is generally limited to the summer season and specific crops that are particularly sensitive to elevated temperatures. Furthermore, there is an increasing trend among Dutch greenhouses to adopt smart climate control technologies, which enable precise monitoring and regulation of internal environments, optimizing energy consumption and enhancing crop growth.

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