Global Vertical Farming Market: Overview
Vertical farming is a new method of producing food on vertically inclined surfaces. This new method does not grow vegetables and other foods on a single level, such as in fields or greenhouses. Food produced by this new method is usually integrated into other structures, such as skyscrapers, containers, or converted warehouses. Using controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technology, this modern concept uses indoor breeding technology. The manual control of temperature, light, humidity, and gas makes it possible to produce food and medicine indoors. In many ways, vertical agriculture is similar to a greenhouse, with metal reflectors and artificial lighting adding natural sunlight. The main goal of vertical agriculture is to maximize crop yield in a limited space.
Global Vertical Farming Market: Insights
The global vertical farming market generated at USD 1.57 Billion in 2016 and projected to reach USD 10.37 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.73% from 2016 to 2022. The rise in demand for the environment-friendly production of fruits and vegetables are primary factors estimated to propel the growth of the global vertical farming market in the future periods. Moreover, the unprecedented rising global population and the demand for higher agricultural yields with limited arable land would impact the robust growth of the global vertical farming industry in the expected periods. Additionally, the huge demand for organic food will foster the vertical farming industry around the world. Also, the rise in demand for vertical farming due to its high quality of food, low environmental impact coupled with the rising urban population, and growth in year-round production of the crop will trigger the global vertical farming market in the forecast periods. According to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO), by 2050, the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion, 34% higher than today. According to the United Nations, urbanization will continue at an accelerated pace, and about 70% of the world’s population will be urban.
Growing food crops indoors with a sound environmental control system has the following advantages such as improving water and fertilizer utilization, growing food in food consumption locations, saving fuel needed for transportation from outside, mounting indoor locations, temperature, humidity, soil composition. Further, the upsurge in demand for vertical farming due to its advantages such as less dependency on soil fertility, low utilization of water, controlled weather conditions through agrochemicals will accelerate the global vertical farming industry in the future timeline. Also, the surging concerns among consumers relating to health, especially for obesity and heart diseases, are likely to elevate the vertical farming industry demand in the upcoming periods. The vertical farm constructed has greatly improved the utilization rate of traditional facilities, which can maximize the efficiency of energy input in greenhouses, and the unit input energy per vegetable produced per acre has reduced many times.
