Qatar greenhouse market projected to reach $600.1m by 2034
Greenlogue/AP Qatar’s greenhouse industry is projected to more than double in value by 2034 as investment in controlled-environment farming accelerates efforts to raise domestic food production and conserve water resources. Market research firm IMARC Group estimates the sector will expand from $226.9 million in 2025 to $600.1 million by 2034, equivalent to about QR2.18 billion at Qatar’s fixed…
By 2034, Qatar's greenhouse industry is expected to more than double in value, reaching $600.1 million, according to market research from IMARC Group. The sector is projected to grow from $226.9 million in 2025, a 11.07% compound annual growth rate driven by technologies suited to Qatar's hot, arid climate. These include controlled-environment farming, hydroponics, automated irrigation, and climate-controlled structures.
Greenhouses allow growers to regulate temperature, humidity, light, and irrigation, extending production periods during heat periods. Plastic greenhouses dominate the market, followed by gutter-connected structures, while fruits and vegetables make up the largest crop segment. Qatar's National Food Security Strategy 2030, launched in December 2024, aims to raise self-sufficiency in fresh vegetables to 55% by 2030 and reduce groundwater extraction for agriculture by 70% by the end of the decade.
This strategy, alongside a proposed greenhouse financing programme, supports the growth of the greenhouse sector.
