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.
Technological segmentation of the smart greenhouse market
- Lighting
- Climate control
- Irrigation
- Control system
In this market research, analysts have estimated the lighting segment to be the largest market segment during the forecast period. This segment currently accounts for more than 26% of the total market share and is predicted to further enhance its hold over the market by 2020 owing to the augmented focus on energy-efficient lighting systems among the end users. Furthermore, factors like the increasing government support and the entry of multiple competitors will spur growth in this market segment during the forecast period.
Segmentation by application and analysis of the smart greenhouse market
- Hydroponic
- Non hydroponic
Technavio market research analysts have estimated the non-hydroponic market segment to account for more than 67% of the total market share by 2020. The rising demand for improved productivity and efficiency in power and water consumption has led to the use of smart technologies in indoor farming. Smart devices and sensors placed in the soil help to detect the moisture content of the soil and the level of humidity in the air, which in turn results in better irrigation.
