United Kingdom 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 Systems (Fans, Cooling Pad Systems), Medium-Tech Greenhouse (Heaters, Cooling Pads, Thermostats, Exhaust Fans, Others), Low-Tech Greenhouse), And By Application (Fruits And Vegetables, Flowers And Ornamentals, Nursery Crops) - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

The United Kingdom commercial greenhouse market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 6.65% from US$276.192 million in 2021 to US$433.340 million by 2028.

Investments in commercial greenhouses are increasing due to the focus on agricultural research and technical developments to improve agricultural activity. An increase in demand for cutting-edge equipment like high-tech greenhouse systems and irrigation systems and the adoption of these tools and greenhouse techniques by farmers and cultivators also facilitates the expansion.

Additionally, one of the main factors influencing the growth of commercial greenhouses is their ability to produce high yields compared to conventional farming methods. Due to the difficult climatic circumstances, commercial greenhouses maintain a major portion of the market because this type of crop growing is the most popular. Due to their extensive coverage, the greenhouses may have had a localized cooling effect due to the large amount of sunshine that their white roofs reflect. The expansion of these commercial greenhouses is being accelerated by government programs to support greenhouse farming. 

The primary factor driving the expansion of the United Kingdom commercial greenhouse industry is the rising investments in greenhouses.

For instance, in December 2020, Greencoat made investments in greenhouses totaling £120 million on behalf of its pension scheme clients, all of whom are significant UK schemes. Commercial greenhouses are expected to be among the most economical in the UK during the projected 40 years of their anticipated use due to the cost-effective utilization of waste heat and monetary assistance from the federal government's Renewable Heat Incentive scheme for implementing renewable heat technologies. With each greenhouse encompassing more than 13 hectares, bigger than the Millennium Dome, they will be among the biggest structures ever constructed in the UK. Oasthouse Ventures, a UK company, will handle the commercial greenhouse construction.

In the United Kingdom (UK), there is a yearly rise in consumer demand for fresh vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. Greenhouses, which continuously provide optimum temperatures, light, humidity, and other climatic conditions, aid in developing various fruit and vegetable crops and ornamentals. Commercial greenhouses enable farmers to grow more fruits and vegetables of higher quality and quantity. For instance, as per the horticulture statistics 2021 by the Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs, United Kingdom, the value of ornamentals increased from £1367 million to £1580 million in 2021.

Market Developments:

• In March 2022, Tomtech designed and produced industrial control and monitoring equipment for greenhouses. Their systems use sensors to automatically track and regulate light, heat, air circulation, irrigation, fertigation, and fertilizer dosing to maintain the greatest possible growth environment.
• In July 2020, the United Kingdom installed the world's first greenhouse that uses waste heat from water treatment plants in East Anglia to produce food for the country; it also can reduce carbon emissions by 75%.

By application, the UK commercial greenhouse market is segmented into fruits and vegetables, flowers and ornaments, and nursery crops. The fruits and vegetables segment dominates the UK commercial greenhouse market as growing health awareness among consumers, especially among the younger generation, is focusing on helping people get healthier and feel better. The segment is growing due to urbanization, rapid technological advancements, government initiatives, and high demand for fruits and vegetables. Regulating variables present in greenhouses, such as moisture, fertilization, light, humidity, temperature, and irrigation, also enables the creation of the best crop conditions. The increasing demand for fruits and vegetables in the United Kingdom (UK) is augmenting the need for the commercial greenhouse systems.
