The India exotic flowers market size was valued at USD 32.17 Billion in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.40% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 160.00 Billion by 2035. The market is actively expanding as floriculture evolves from traditional cultivation into a dynamic, commercially driven industry.
The industry is being propelled by high production volumes, value-added services, technological integration, and growing global demand, all of which create new opportunities for farmers, entrepreneurs, and floriculture businesses. Currently, India cultivates flowers over 285,000 hectares, producing more than 2.2 million tons of loose flowers and around 950,000 tons of cut flowers annually. Beyond cultivation, the industry is actively diversifying into landscape design, greenhouse management, park and garden development, contracting, and maintenance services, adding multiple revenue streams. For example, in Thally village near Hosur in Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu, a dedicated “Centre for Cut Flowers” has been established. It leverages sensor-driven irrigation, greenhouse cultivation, and advanced post-harvest handling techniques. The facility is helping local farmers shift into high-value flowers such as roses, chrysanthemums, gerberas and orchids, and transforming the area into a premium floriculture hub.
A new exotic flower breed gaining popularity in India is the Dutch tulip, now cultivated in regions like Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh through advanced greenhouse techniques. Farmers are adopting imported bulbs and controlled-environment farming to ensure year-round production and vibrant color quality. Supported by state horticulture departments, these tulip varieties are increasingly sought after for luxury décor, weddings, and exports. The annual Tulip Festival in Srinagar showcases these exotic blooms, highlighting India’s expanding capacity for premium flower cultivation.
India is also strengthening its international presence, exporting 19,677.89 MT of exotic floriculture products worth INR 717.83 crore (86.63 million USD) in 2023–24 to markets such as the United States of America, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Canada, and Malaysia. Technological interventions, including IT-enabled distribution, virtual marketplaces, cataloguing, branding, and quality assurance, are further driving efficiency, market reach, and profitability. By combining commercial expansion, innovation, and global integration, the market is actively transforming into a high-value, export-oriented, and technology-driven sector, generating income, employment, and sustainable growth offering significant opportunities in the India exotic flowers market.
