According to the relative industry’report, the global intelligent greenhouse market is expected to grow from $1.26 billion in 2018 to $2.28 billion in 2023, with an annual compound growth rate of 12.6%. Key factors driving the intelligent greenhouse market include indoor farming due to changes in consumer preferences, high demand for food due to large population growth, favorable government regulations and incentives related to lighting technology in intelligent greenhouses.
Heating,Ventilation,Air Conditioning(HVAC) and LED become the main technology of Intelligent Greenhouse.
HVAC system(as Gloreen Smart Climate Control system) are used to maintain a appropriate temperature(and humidity) in a controlled environment. It plays an important role in the intelligent greenhouse by maintaining the ideal temperature(and humidity) of plant growth and eliminating the adverse effects of external temperature changes, and making it possible to cultivate all year round. Therefore, high voltage Alternating Current system provides improved indoor environment and minimizes operating costs.
LED plant growth lamp is used as supplementary lighting in greenhouse environment. Heating,Ventilation and Air Conditioning and lighting technology provides proper nutrition for plants. Because of the compact design of LED lighting system, adjustable spectrum, cold light and directional light, the LED lighting system is a good lighting system. The service life of the LED growth lamp system is as long as 30,000 hours to 50,000 hours, and the energy consumption is greatly reduced. Therefore, based on technology, LED lighting and HVAC technology are expected to occupy a large share of the intelligent greenhouse market.
Non-hydroponic intelligent greenhouse occupies a large market share.
Non-hydroponic greenhouses use soil as the basis for planting plants. Because of its easy access and low infrastructure costs, traditional greenhouse horticulture began to use soil as a base for all plants. So even today, most greenhouses around the world follow this technology. In non-hydroponic (soil-based) greenhouses, appropriate soil analysis is needed to determine the growth type of plants, which helps to improve the yield of soil greenhouses.
Europe has a large share of the global intelligent greenhouse Market.Traditionally, Europe has been at the forefront of implementing advanced greenhouse horticulture technologies. Greenhouse planting areas in the Netherlands, Spain and Italy are very large. Recently, the population of Europe has expanded rapidly, and countries import fruits and vegetables frozen from markets in Africa and Asia. Indoor horticulture has developed rapidly in some major countries of the region to obtain fresh agricultural products from local farms. It is expected that this factor will generate great demand for controlled environmental agriculture in the near future.
