LONDON, Nov. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A greenhouse is a
structure used for growing plants in a controlled environment. The
rise in population in urban areas leads to a domino effect for
increased food production, wherein through natural lighting, food
can be produced on seasonal basis. Owing to this, smart greenhouses
use advanced technologies to provide the required environment for
high yield. Hydroponic and non-hydroponic are types of smart
greenhouses used for urban farming. Traditionally, majority of the
greenhouses used soil as the base for growing plants. However,
hydroponic or soil-less horticulture has recently started gaining
popularity in the greenhouse industry. Both techniques of crop
cultivation have certain benefits of their own. The primary concern
of growers while selecting hydroponics or soil-less technique
greenhouses is the availability of technical infrastructure,
skilled workforce to assist in installation & operation,
capital requirement, and environmental factors.
Earlier, the Netherlands used
greenhouses for the development of urban farming and fulfill the
requirement of urban customers. However, with advancements in
technology, every region is witnessing an impressive growth in this
market. Non-hydroponic growing technique is favored all over and
held the largest share in the overall smart greenhouse market.
Non-hydroponic technique makes use of soil as the base for growing
plants. Traditional controlled environment agriculture began by
using soil as the base for all plants due to its easy availability
and less initial infrastructure costs. That is why, even today a
majority of greenhouses across the world follow this technique. In
non-hydroponic (soil-based) greenhouses, proper analysis of the
soil needs to be performed to determine the type of plant and
achieve greater yields. Presently, this market is worth
USD 453.32 million in 2015 and is
projected to grow with a CAGR of 13.08% from 2015 to 2020.
The technology segments for smart greenhouses covered in this study
