Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

The primary drivers of the growth of the vertical farming market globally are the rising demand for food free from herbicides and pesticides, the increasing awareness of the consumption of high-quality food items, and the restricted amount of agricultural land space. By growing crops in a constrained space and climate-controlled environment, the vertical farm aids in increasing crop output. The lighting industry's technological development has made a substantial contribution to its expansion. The yield of fruits and vegetables increases significantly with the use of artificial lighting, especially grow lights.

The production of fruits and vegetables on vertical farms is supported by the growing urbanization and the creation of smart cities. The strain on the agriculture sector has greatly increased with the rising population, particularly in developing economies. As a result, there is a greater need for food security in these nations, which supports the need for agriculture and vertical farming.

Challenges

The high initial setup costs necessary for setting up vertical farms and the production on a big scale in these farms are the main problems faced by industry participants in vertical farming. Additionally, only a few crops can currently be successfully cultivated on vertical farms, which limits the market's ability to grow internationally.

Geographic Overview

Due to technical developments, more research and development, and rising consumer demand for crops with little to no herbicide and pesticide use, North America is the region with the largest vertical farming market. Additionally, growing farmer knowledge and an increase in independent farmers growing commodities in small spaces are both contributing to the expansion of the market in the area.

Similar to this, the demand for these farms is growing significantly in Europe, the second-largest vertical farm industry among all regions, due to the limited land space and high investment required for vertical farming techniques.

On the other hand, the vertical farming market in APAC is predicted to expand at the quickest rate throughout the forecast period. The enormous population bases, expanding smart city development, and growing urbanization are the main driving forces for the implementation of vertical farming in the region. In nations like China and India, where urbanization and population growth are on the rise, the agricultural sector is under tremendous pressure to meet consumer demand. In order to alleviate the pressure on the agricultural sector and to assure food security, vertical farms located in buildings are becoming more and more well-liked and are expected to gather momentum in the future years.

Competitive Insight

Market participants in the vertical farming sector are concentrating on innovations for creating controlled environments in buildings to support circumstances as similar to nature as possible. Some of the major companies providing solutions in the vertical farming sector include AeroFarms, Sky Greens, Urban Crop Solutions, Vertical Farm Systems, agrilution GmbH, Green Sense Farms LLC, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Illumitex Inc., Everlight Electronics Co. Ltd., and American Hydroponics.

Recent Development by Key Players

In August 2021, Cargill Partnered with the vertical farming leader AeroFarms aiming to improve cocoa bean yields and develop more climate-resilient farming practices. Together, the two organizations will experiment with different indoor growing technologies, including aeroponics and hydroponics, light, carbon dioxide, irrigation, and nutrients, to identify the optimal conditions for cocoa tree growth.

In August 2021, AeroFarms announced that it would expand to the Middle West region as part of a project with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and St. Louis Controlled Environment Agriculture Coalition (STLCEA) to demonstrate innovative strategies to minimize the environmental footprint of indoor vertical farming.

In July 2021, Heliospectra AB, a world leader in intelligent lighting technology for vertical farming, announced a new seller partnership with MineARC Systems, a global leader in manufacturing and supplying controlled environments. The company will represent Heliospectra’s market-leading LED lighting and lighting control solutions in the Australian market.

In June 2021, Osram expanded its horticulture portfolio with the launch of Osconiq S 5050. It addresses a key problem of using white LEDs resulting in lower energy costs and more efficient lighting for indoor farmers.
