Use of flowers and plants for decorative/aesthetic purposes is notably driving the market growth. Ornamental plants, specifically flowers and leaves, hold great significance in various cultural and decorative contexts, particularly during special occasions such as weddings, funerals, anniversaries, and birthdays. In the case of weddings, flowers often make up a substantial portion of the overall budget, and their use is deeply rooted in cultural traditions.
As a result, the demand for these floral crops remains high in the Malaysian market. The horticulture industry, encompassing both floriculture and horticulture, plays a crucial role in providing an aesthetic delight for various decorative purposes. This commercial exchange involves the cultivation of a wide range of floral crops, including cut flowers and potted plants, as well as bedding plants. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increasing use of biotechnology in floriculture is the key trend in the market. In the realm of floriculture, technological advancements, particularly biotechnology, are revolutionizing the industry. By manipulating the genetic makeup of flowers, growers can produce uniquely colored blooms, such as blue roses, which can increase market demand.
Biotechnology also aids in cultivating flowers that can thrive in harsh environmental conditions, thereby mitigating risks for growers. For instance, Monsanto is pioneering anti-aging technology for flowers, which can prevent wilting and extend their lifespan, thereby reducing the reliance on costly air freight for transportation. Instead, flowers can be transported via more cost-effective methods like seaways. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Over-dependence on climatic conditions is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. The ornamental foliage market encompasses the production and distribution of various types of ornamental plants, including those with attractive leaves, grown in both greenhouses and open fields. Climate plays a significant role in the growth of these plants, with certain varieties requiring ample sunlight and favorable temperatures. However, adverse weather conditions, such as shorter and wetter days, can hinder their development.
To mitigate these challenges, nurseries and growers employ greenhouse automation techniques, including artificial lighting and temperature control systems, to create optimal growing conditions. Genetically engineered flowers have also emerged as a solution to climate-related issues, offering resistance to extreme temperatures and improved growth rates. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
