Europe Commercial Greenhouse Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Free Standing, Gutter Connected), By Component (High-Tech, Medium-Tech, Low-Tech), By Application (Fruits and Vegetables, Flowers and Ornamentals, Nursery Crops), And By Country - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The European commercial Greenhouse Market is expected to grow at a rate of 4.39% CAGR, reaching a market size of US$14148.610 million in 2030 from US$11414.789 million in 2025.

A commercial greenhouse raises plants intended for sale to businesses. They are frequently cutting-edge facilities designed expressly to raise the targeted crops. Rapid urbanization and a lack of agricultural land are driving the growth of the EU commercial greenhouse market. The adoption of commercial greenhouses in traditional agriculture has also been pushed by climatic changes, and this trend will spur the market's expansion even further. Additionally, one of the main factors influencing the growth of commercial greenhouses is their ability to produce high yields in comparison 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. Countries like Russia are embracing greenhouse farming more and more to implement sustainable farming throughout the nation, which is boosting the growth of commercial greenhouses.

Also, the growing interest in greenhouse organic farming and a rise in farmers' adoption of cutting-edge technology are the main reasons fueling the expansion of the commercial greenhouse business. Many market participants are building the infrastructure for greenhouse systems all around Europe. Some of the driest weather in Europe may be found in the province of Almera in southeast Spain. But because it has easy access to groundwater and lots of sunshine, it has developed into a significant center for greenhouse farming. Almera's greenhouses reportedly encompass more than 40,000 hectares (150 square miles), or almost all of Campo de Dallas, according to the Barcelona Field Study Center. They have also overflowed onto nearby neighbourhoods.

What are the European commercial greenhouse market drivers?

• Climate change is disrupting the conventional agricultural system

Climate change is a significant issue for the agriculture sector. Significant climate changes have been noticed worldwide, which results in a lack of production. For example, some of the driest weather in Europe may be found in the province of Almera in southeast Spain. The weather in Spain has also led to a demand for controlled cultivation and a rise in attention to commercial greenhouses due to climate change. In the Provincia de Almeria in Southern Spain, there are greenhouses covering 31,000 hectares of land. One of the biggest producers of fruits and vegetables in Europe, these facilities generate 3.5 million tonnes of food annually. Almera's greenhouses reportedly encompass more than 40,000 hectares (150 square miles), or almost all of Campo de Dallas, according to the Barcelona Field Study Center. They have also overflowed onto nearby neighborhoods. Further, Major companies are aiming to preserve environmental sustainability, minimize water and energy use, and for this purpose, they are entering into strategic partnerships. For instance, in March 2022, to achieve a 20% increase in production while using 20% less water and energy, the Spanish Grupo Hortofrutcola Paloma extended its greenhouses with Novagric.

Which application segment will have the largest market share?

By application, the European commercial greenhouse market is segmented into fruits and vegetables, flowers and ornaments, and nursery crops. The fruits and vegetables segment dominates the European commercial greenhouse market as growing health awareness among consumers, especially among the younger generation, is focusing on helping people get healthier and feel better. Additionally, consumers are choosing a healthier diet due to the rising prevalence of obesity and other related illnesses.

What are the geographical trends shaping the European commercial greenhouse market?

By country, the European commercial greenhouse market is divided into Germany, France, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Spain, Russia, and Others. During the forecast period, Germany and Spain are expected to hold considerable market shares due to growing demand for fresh and locally grown produce as greenhouses provide a controlled environment for growing a variety of crops year-round. The UK market is also anticipated to grow at a significant market rate and will hold a market share because of the development of advanced greenhouse technologies which has made it possible for commercial greenhouses to operate more efficiently, increase crop yields, and reduce production costs, making commercial greenhouse farming more attractive and profitable.
