This market analysis includes a detailed segmentation of the global smart greenhouse market by technology (lighting, climate control, irrigation, and control systems) and by application (hydroponic and non-hydroponic). It also outlines the market shares for key regions such as the Americas, APAC, and EMEA. The leading vendors analyzed in this report are Heliospectra, LumiGrow, Nexus, and Rough Brothers.
In a smart greenhouse, crops are cultivated under controlled conditions to optimize production. Technologies such as sensors and devices are used to automate the functions of the greenhouse. Smart greenhouses protect crops from diseases, pests, and harsh weather conditions, while at the same time consuming low amount of power and allowing remote access to the farmers. A smart greenhouse is equipped with interconnected devices to control sunlight, temperature, and humidity depending on the type of crop. The control system collects data from various sensors and transmits it for analysis to reduce production losses. The environment inside a smart greenhouse can be changed, modified, and analyzed remotely, and this is advantageous when such greenhouses are spread across regions.
Outlook of the global smart greenhouse market
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global smart greenhouse market to grow at an impressive CAGR of approximately 17% by 2020. Smart greenhouses use artificial intelligence devices, sensors, and control devices that facilitate irrigation, automation, and control of the environment. The use of such devices increases the efficiency and output of floating and solar powered greenhouses. This increased efficiency and output of smart greenhouses is a critical factor that foster its adoption during the predicted period.
In terms of geography, the EMEA region will account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period. The recent increase in the use of smart greenhouse technologies across various regions like Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy will result in the growth of this market in EMEA during the forecast period. Since the European greenhouse sector is one of the most energy-intensive sectors in agriculture, vendors from across the globe will invest in smart monitoring and controlling devices. This increase in investments by vendors will result in the strong growth of this market in EMEA during the predicted period.
