Netherlands Commercial Greenhouse Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Plastic, Glass), By Component (High-Tech Commercial Greenhouse (Heating System (Heaters, Valves, Vents, Others), Cooling System (Fans, Cooling Pad System)), Medium-Tech Commercial Greenhouse (Heaters, Cooling Pads, Thermostats, Exhaust Fans, Others), Low-Tech Commercial Greenhouse), And By Application (Fruits And Vegetables, Flowers And Ornamentals, Nursery Crops) - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

The Netherlands commercial greenhouse market is projected to witness a compounded annual growth rate of 4.46% to grow to US$1,236.067 million by 2027, from US$910.781 million in 2020. The Netherlands has a worldwide leading position in agriculture technology. According to the World Bank, 53.9 percent of the land area is agricultural in the Netherlands. Despite being small in size and having a rainy climate, the Netherlands has learned to utilize its land and production systems in an effective and creative way to maximize yields. Due to this, the Netherlands now has a particularly high concentration of specialist greenhouse businesses. According to the official data provided by the Government of the Netherlands, over 90 square kilometers of greenhouses are available in the country. Based on the surface area, this is nearly 3.5 times larger than the greenhouses in Canada. Further, Government’s efficient land regulation policies and initiatives with other countries to encourage agriculture are driving the commercial greenhouse market.

For instance, in May 2020 Netherlands partnered with Canada for the greenhouse industry. The collaboration in the greenhouse industry is expected to have a mutually profitable and thriving sector for both countries. The partnership aims in joining has for high levels of expertise, and scientific knowledge along with initiating new projects.

Restraints:

The Netherlands has a cold climatical condition, and the need for gas and energy is essential for the operations of greenhouses. Russia’s invocation in Ukraine in February, followed by economic sanctions from Europe along with other nations, has resulted in a shortage of gas and energy in the global market. The Netherlands is a vital part of European and is no different. This has led to an increase in gas and electricity prices.

Greenhouses have an important role in making the Netherlands. This was made possible due to the cheap gas availability. However, with increasing prices, farmers are restricting their areas of production in the greenhouses to cut down costs. As per Statistics Netherlands, the industry’s gas usage plunged 23% in the year leading up to June. Further, according to the business association Glastuinbouw Nederland, up to 40% of its 3,000 members are struggling financially. With the country’s Climate change policies, the usage of wood for heating is also not a sustainable option for heating greenhouses. This indicated fewer installations of commercial greenhouses throughout the Netherlands.

Key Development:

• In July 2021, Beekers Berries, the leading strawberry producer in the Netherlands, decided to build a 7.8-hectare, modern, multi-span poly greenhouse. Which is the largest greenhouse in the Netherlands. The proven technology of De Gier Drive Systems supports the double-sided continuous ridge ventilation in the AgrowSer Poly greenhouse.

Covid-19 Impact on the Netherlands Commercial Greenhouse Market

The Netherlands commercial greenhouse market witnessed slow growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The robust outbreak of the virus and its exponential spread resulted in the implementation of a nationwide lockdown. Companies experienced a decline in income as a result of supply chain disruption and customer attempts to cut back on spending as a result of the pandemic. The outbreak also affected the supply chain, which caused disruptions or delays in the construction of greenhouses. Due to limitations and cost inflation, market players encountered significant problems with transportation routes and other areas of the supply chain network, such as the pricing and availability of raw materials. According to a projected agricultural revenue, from the Wageningen Economic Research and the Central Bureau of Statistics, Dutch greenhouse vegetable growers made an average of €315,000 in 2021, similar to 2020 levels.
