Market overview
According to the latest report, the global vertical farming market size is predicted to reach a revenue of USD 6.5 Billion by the end of 2024 at a CAGR of roughly 20% during the forecast period of 2019 – 2024. Vertical farming is the implementation of growing crops in perpendicular stacked layers. These crops are grown indoors with the help of artificial light conditions and temperature. It uses soilless farming techniques including hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. Vertical farming aims for higher productivity in compact spaces.
The rise in demand for superior quality and large volumes of foodstuffs is the major factor driving the growth of the market. The other factor contributing to the growth of the global vertical farming market includes the lack of ease of access to the cultivated land area and the reduction in the environmental impact. Vertical farming allows the cultivation of foods in huge quantities within a bounded land area in order to satisfy the rising demand for food globally. The rise in the demand for the vertical farming industry globally is predicted to increase during the forecast period due to the rise in the demand for organic foods across the globe. The perpendicular stacked-layer farming helps in the reduction of the demand for additional land and construction activity. The balance between the ideal use of vertical space and energy is also contributing to the growth of the global vertical farming market.
This report contains all the information on the global vertical farming market research and the market strengths. The report also contains the culmination of dynamics, segmentation, key players, regional analysis, and other important factors. And a detailed analysis of the global vertical farming market analysis and forecast to 2024 is also included in the report.
Covid 19 Analysis
The outbreak of the covid 19 pandemics has affected the global vertical farming market in APAC, moreover, the medium scale companies and small scale companies are struggling to carry their business. However, the market is expected to witness a steady recovery by the end of 2021 due to the support of the governments and investors. The global vertical farming market growth varies from region to region where few countries offer Hugh potential in terms of growth and few countries face low-profit margins and closures.
Market Dynamic
The rise in the use of the internet of things (LoT) sensors which are used in indoor farming with the help of the interconnected internet in the production of crops and the sweeping production of biopharmaceutical products creates a major opportunity for the key players in the vertical farming market.
The requirement for the huge capital for the investment in the initial stage and the lack of practical knowledge among the farmers are the major restraints of the global vertical farming market. The limitation of cultivating certain crops with the help of vertical farming is another factor that is hampering the growth of the global vertical farming market system.
Vertical farming also involves the use of advanced solutions including sensors, artificial intelligence, cameras, automated systems, and hydroponic, aquaponics, or aeroponic systems which require a huge amount of investment and can be considered as a major restraint for small and medium scale businesses.
The maintenance of the circulation of conditioned air within the premises of vertical farm in order to create a steady growing environment however the racks in the vertical farms are in tacked very closely which creates a difficulty in creating uniform air condition everywhere, it is considered as the major challenge for the vertical farming market.
In order to avoid such challenges of air circulation, the farmers are relying on circular fans which add additional costs to the productions and eventually affect the prices of the produce.
Cumulative Growth Analysis
The establishment of automatic seed planters, greenhouse roof washers, and harvesting robots are expected to reduce operating costs and enlarging revenues in the global vertical farming market. The uses of hydroponics permit the cultivation of long-term crops in wide a range that is grown in vertical farming.
The rise in the development of the hydroponics field, simplifying technology, and rise in economic growth are contributing to the growth of the global vertical farming market. The evolution in comprising top lighting, customized lighting systems for research testing, tissue culture, and interlighting are stabilizing the growth of the global vertical farming market outlook.
