Vertical farming is the urban agricultural practice of growing food crops in vertical stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces, or integrated in other structures. The major benefits of vertical farming include increased crop production, efficient resource use, and protection of crops from harsh climatic conditions. Increasing demand for pesticide-free food is one of the key drivers of vertical farming market. Rising global population along with growing need for increased food production with less dependency on climatic conditions is augmenting the demand for vertical farming.
Other factors such as improvement in irrigation techniques, advanced plant breeding, and development of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers will propel the growth of global vertical farming market in the forthcoming years. The market for hydroponics as a growth mechanism is projected to witness a significantly high growth as it provides benefits such as quicker crop growth, higher yield, faster harvest, and low nutrient wastage.
North America holds the largest market share of global vertical farming on account of emerging trend of indoor agriculture in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest market growth due to driving factors such as growing urbanization, declining area of cultivable land, growing awareness regarding good health and fitness and supportive government initiatives in emerging economies such as India and China. However, the growth of global vertical farming will be hindered due to high initial investment and limitations on the variety of crops grown.
