Vertical Farming Industry

Description

The decreasing arable land and depleting natural resources is motivating the crop growing communities towards effective farming practices that follow the ‘law of minimum’. Vertical farming, which involves controlled production of plants in multiple vertical layered setups, such as controlled-environment buildings, repurposed warehouses, growth chambers and shipping containers evolved as a solution. The major advantages associated with vertical farming includes reduced agricultural runoff, optimized energy usage, minimum overheads, and low labour costs. The use of innovative irrigation systems and lighting methods enable vertical farming to support food production throughout the year.

The global vertical farming market valued USD 2.3 billion in 2018 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% to reach a market value of USD 4.2 billion by 2026.

Market Dynamics:

The growing demand for precision farming owing to declining arable land other natural resources is the primary factor for the growth of vertical farming market. Rising population across the globe is increasing the demand for food. However, the area of cultivable land is declining across the globe owing to factors such as urbanization, soil erosion, and over cultivation. This is driving the need for sustainable farming practices that ensure larger yields with minimal utilization. Vertical farming evolved as an effective alternative to traditional farming practices owing to its high yielding potential at minimum inputs. Vertical farms consume 90% less water compared with traditional farming and produce low Co2 emissions.

Minimum food transportation and higher crop yield led to increased adoption by the local farmers in sustainable farming technologies. Growing consumer demand for organic food and similar features practiced in vertical farming is another factor contributing to the growth of global vertical farming market. These vertical farming methods restricts the use of synthetic pesticides, growth hormones and antibiotics, allowing the produce to meet organic standards. According to the Organic Industry Survey conducted by Organic Trade Association in May 2018, the annual sale of Organic food in United States increased from USD 45.2 Billion in 2017 to USD 47.9 Billion in 2018. Advancements in data-driven technologies such as IoT, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data are leveraging the vertical farming practices. Utilization of these technologies enable quick collection of high-quality data related to plant growth, thus enabling the growers to effectively control the farm.
