Strawberries are booming, with the global market set to grow to $18.66 billion by 2028. As greenhouse acreage expands, more growers worldwide—from Canada to the Netherlands to Mexico —are adding strawberries alongside vegetable crops or optimizing existing production to meet rising demand.
But growing strawberries successfully requires precise climate control, especially in challenging environments. Cold-climate growers must balance light, temperature, and humidity to extend the season, while warmer regions face challenges like heat stress and airflow management.
At Svensson, we work with strawberry growers across the globe to create the ideal greenhouse climate. From light diffusion to energy savings and ventilation, our solutions help you grow healthier, high-quality strawberries—wherever you're located.
