As the global population projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, and two-thirds of population expected to live in urban areas, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations. Big benefit is sustainability. Also It uses less water, climate-resilient, and no agricultural runoff. harvest won’t get affected by extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts or floods, unlike outdoor farming as crops are safe and sound in a highly-controlled environment and we could save 30% of harvests that are lost each year due to spoilage. High energy bills and labour costs might impact the growth of the market. The growing automation in agriculture and increasing use of big data and predictive analytics for maximizing yields are also likely to drive the market.

Vertical farming is effective in ensuring stability in crop production and maintaining reliability even in adverse climatic conditions. It provides multiple benefits over the traditional farming technique, such as less use of water, the lesser need for agrochemicals, and low dependence on agricultural labor. Vertical farming makes use of metal reflectors and artificial lighting to maximize natural sunlight.
Genetically modified organisms and the environmental and health effects of pesticides and other non-natural substances that are used for increasing agricultural production have encouraged consumers to adopt organic foods. According to the Organic Trade Association, the U.S. organic industry sales increased by around 5% in 2019 owing to the increased investment in infrastructure and education. As per the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, the handlers and growers of organic products need to comply with the regulations.
Artificial lighting helps in extending the hours of natural daylight, which further increases the health, growth rate, and yield of the plants. Artificial lighting such as high-pressure sodium lighting and LED lighting can extend the availability of crops (throughout a season). LED lighting systems produce a dual-band color spectrum and generate low heat. They are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
A hydroponic system is a method of growing plants without soil. A hydroponic system eliminates the need for pesticides and artificial ripening agents and helps in producing nutritionally-rich vegetables. However, factors such as high initial investment and fewer crop varieties are likely to restrain the market growth.
Vertical Farming Market Insights By Geographical Regions:
Asia Pacific dominated the market with a revenue share of over 35.0%. Growing awareness regarding the importance of alternative farming owing to less availability of fertile agricultural land and increasing population in the region is the key factor anticipated to spur the demand. Europe is anticipated to witness significant growth over the projected period owing to the growing expansion of genetically modified crop technology. The growing urban population and commercialization of indoor farming are anticipated to drive the demand in Africa. However, the lack of financial resources to build modern vertical farms and limited access to water and land are expected to restrain the regional market growth.
Industry Insights By Major Competitors:
Key market players are involved in strategies such as partnerships, business expansions, new product developments, and contracts to expand their market share. The players are investing in R&D for product innovation and enhancement. The market is primarily dominated by lighting providers accounting for a major share.
