Industry Overview
The North American Vertical Farming Market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 21.9% CAGR throughout the forecast period. By 2030, the market size is projected to reach a substantial value of USD 28.4 billion. In the year 2023 the respective market was at USD 11.2 billion.
The Vertical farming technique uses a (controlled-environment agriculture) CEA technology that helps in preserving the natural environment that helps in producing the crops to ensure even distribution of crops in densely populated areas. The techniques help in eliminating the excessive expenditure incurred by the commercial grower on a rain-forest system. This technique is also helping the commercial growers to grow the fruits and vegetables that comprises of increased demand throughout the year irrespective of any alteration in climate. The crops grown using this technique are helping the people to consume fresh and toxin-free produce as the crops are produced with the help of an organic approach.
