Consumers’ increasing demand for fresh produce year-round, regardless of seasonal limitations, has driven the growth of commercial greenhouses in the US.

Further, according to the Organic Trade Association, conventional and natural food stores and chains account for 88 percent of organic sales.

Government Regulations

Numerous Underlying Factors
There are other factors as well that are driving the growth of the market such as the changing consumer preferences followed by the introduction of enhanced crop management. Consumers are increasingly seeking fresh, locally grown produce that is available year-round. In this regard, greenhouses are considered imperative in providing a controlled environment that enables consistent and high-quality production of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, even in the off-season.
