Rising Indoor And Vertical Farming Adoption Boosts Microgreens Market: A Key Factor Shaping the Future of the Microgreens Market in 2025

Which drivers are expected to have the greatest impact on the over the microgreens market's growth?
The microgreens market is projected to grow due to the rising trend of indoor and vertical farming. Growing plants in a tightly controlled, closed environment stacked vertically is what defines indoor vertical farming. This farming method, when compared with traditional farming, significantly reduces the land requirement for plant cultivation. The ability to prosper in limited spaces makes this type of farming common in cities and urban agricultural settings. Indoor vertical farming offers numerous benefits, including promoting sustainable urban development and maximizing crop production, all while reducing labor costs. Microgreens are particularly suited for indoor vertical farming as they have a small spatial footprint. For example, in April 2024, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK government department, reported that the Total Income from Farming (TIFF) in England was $7.46 billion (£5.7 billion). This was an across-the-board increase in all eight regions, with an average rise of 15% from 2021 to 2022. The East of England led the way, contributing 19% to the TIFF, while the North East accounted for the smallest contribution at 4.5%. Consequently, the continued uptake of indoor and vertical farming is likely to boost growth in the microgreens market.

What are the most significant trends transforming the microgreens market today?
One of the driving trends in the microgreens market is the influence of technology. With the use of artificial intelligence-operated systems, the growth of microgreens in capsules is effectively monitored. These intelligent systems track the plants' development using an embedded chip in the growth cabinet, alerting to any potential issues and advising the ideal time for harvesting the herbs. For example, in March 2024, Biofortified Microgreens were launched by Ro-Gro, a vertical farm in the UK. This introduction was made possible through a partnership among vertical farm Ro-Gro, the John Innes Centre (a plant and microbiology research centre), the Quadram Institute (a facility focused on food and health bioscience), and indoor farming technology company LettUs Grow. The first-ever pea shoots, fortified with vitamin B12, were cultivated at Ro-Gro's vertical farm in Kent using ultrasonic aeroponic technology from LettUs Grow. Such groundbreaking combination of agricultural and nutritional science signifies a crucial development in the making of biofortified foods, serving as a testament to the effective blending of technology and farming to establish a sustainable food system in the UK.
