Smart greenhouse is a concept of greenhouse that cultivates crops without human intervention.


Crops in a Smart Greenhouse grow without adjustment of climate or any human interference by any means for a particular period. The smart greenhouse uses various microprocessors and sensors to perform functions such as controlling temperature and irrigation system. Any type of plant, fruit, and vegetables can be grown at any time of year in smart greenhouse. This system is cost effective and improves efficiency & versatility of greenhouses.




The need for smart farming and trend of rooftop farming fuel the growth of the world smart greenhouse market. However, high cost of smart greenhouses is restraining the growth of the market. On the other hand, emergence of vertical farming in urban areas is creating opportunities in the market.


According to market research Smart Greenhouse market was valued at approximately USD 680.3 million in 2016 and is expected to reach approximately USD 1.31 Billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of around 14.12% between 2017 and 2022.






On the basis of technology, the market is further classified into HVAC, LED grow light, communication technology, irrigation system, material handling, valves and pumps, control system, and others. The types of smart greenhouses covered in the report are hydroponic and non-hydroponic.

Smart Green House Market by Types
1.      Hydroponic
2.      Non-hydroponic

Hydroponic-

Hydroponics is proved to have several advantages over soil gardening. The growth rate on a hydroponic plant is 30-50 percent faster than a soil plant, grown under the same conditions. The yield of the plant is also greater. Scientists believe that there are several reasons for the drastic differences between hydroponic and soil plants. The extra oxygen in the hydroponic growing mediums helps to stimulate root growth. Plants with ample oxygen in the root system also absorb nutrients faster.

The nutrients in a hydroponic system are mixed with the water and sent directly to the root system. The plant does not have to search in the soil for the nutrients that it requires. Those nutrients are being delivered to the plant several times per day. The hydroponic plant requires very little energy to find and break down food. The plant then uses this saved energy to grow faster and to produce more fruit. Hydroponic plants also have fewer problems with bug infestations, funguses and disease. In general, plants grown hydroponically are healthier and happier plants.
