The vertical farming approach of growing food involves the farming of fruits and vegetables vertically which combines the design of buildings and farms altogether in a high-rise building inside the cities. The global vertical farming market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The major aspect that drives the growth of the market includes the huge growth in the population across the globe; the increased population demands both the proper land to live as well as food to eat which in turn upsurges the growth of the vertical farming market over the forecast period. Besides, owing to the expensive and scarcity of prime agricultural land, there has been increased adoption of vertical farming across the globe.
Some other factors that enhance the growth of vertical farming include the rising trends of the adoption of organic food, the rising standard of living, improving disposable incomes, along with the variety of innovations and developments in the vertical farming methods. Additionally, several benefits offered by vertical farming such as continuous crop production, elimination of herbicides and pesticides, climate and people-friendly, water conservation, and recycling among many other benefits are likely to create a wide scope for the growth of the vertical farming market. However, the lack of skilled personnel and lack of awareness are the factors challenging the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Segmental Outlook
The global vertical farming market is segmented on the basis of structure type, growth mechanism, and component. Based on the structure type, the market is segmented as building-based vertical farming and shipping container-based vertical farming. Based on the growth mechanism, the market is segmented as aeroponics, hydroponics, and aquaponics. Based on the component, the market is segmented as sensors, lighting, climatic controls, irrigation component, building material, and other components.
Shipping Container-based Vertical Farming to Hold a Significant Market Share
Amongst the structure type segment of the global vertical farming, the shipping container-based vertical farming segment is projected to hold the most lucrative share in the market. The segmental growth of the market is accredited to the various benefits such as offered by the shipping container-based vertical farm segment. Some benefits include easy to transport, does not require a dedicated building for the production, availability of technologically advanced shipping containers among many others. Additionally, the shipping container-based vertical farming also requires less water when compared with building-based vertical farming, which is again one of the key factors that encourages the implementation of shipping container-based vertical farming over traditional building-based vertical farming.
