Greenhouse Irrigation Systems Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Greenhouse Irrigation Systems Market Analysis

The Greenhouse Irrigation Systems Market size is estimated at USD 1.5 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.10 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 14.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The greenhouse irrigation systems market is experiencing substantial growth due to the increasing area under protected cultivation. This expansion is driven by the rising global population and the subsequent demand for food. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in South Korea, the land area used for smart farming in greenhouse horticulture in South Korea grew from 6,485 hectares in 2021 to 7,000 hectares in 2022. As the global demand for food rises and sustainable farming practices become more crucial, greenhouse irrigation systems are gaining popularity for their ability to optimize water usage, reduce waste, and enhance crop yields. Additionally, there is a growing focus on reducing carbon footprints and ensuring water sustainability, leading to the development of eco-friendly and energy-efficient irrigation technologies. A 2024 study by the University of Almeria demonstrated that integrating turbine-based generation within greenhouse irrigation systems enhances energy efficiency and sustainability.
• Countries such as India and China are adopting climate-smart agricultural practices, including greenhouses, to meet the growing demand for produce during the off-season, which is driving market growth. In India, horticulture is the primary product of micro-irrigated greenhouses, and more farmers are adopting greenhouse farming due to its benefits, such as year-round production. The increased demand for greenhouse produce has led to financial support from both federal and state governments for the construction of greenhouses and the establishment of micro-irrigation systems. In 2023, the Indian government set a five-year target to micro-irrigate 100,000 hectares, aiming to boost crop yields by 20 to 38 percent. Similarly, in 2022, China promoted Dutch greenhouse technologies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The country is also encouraging research and development, as well as the application of technologies like water-fertilizer integration, feeding automation, and intelligent environmental control while prioritizing ecological protection. The rising food demand coupled with the advancements and the government initiatives are anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period.
