Global Vertical Farming Market Analysis Repot 2021-2028 Featuring BrightFarms, Everlight Electronics and Green Sense Farms - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Vertical Farming Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Repot by Structure, by Offering (Lighting, Climate Control), by Growing Mechanism (Hydroponics, Aquaponics), by Fruits, Vegetables & Herbs, and Segment Forecasts, 2021-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global vertical farming market size is anticipated to reach USD 21.15 billion by 2028 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 23.6% over the forecast period

Increased use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for producing crops is likely to spur the market demand over the forecast period. Information obtained from the sensors is stored on the cloud and analyzed to perform the required actions. Growing automation in agriculture and increasing use of big data and predictive analytics for maximizing yields are also likely to drive the market.

Vertical farming is effective in ensuring stability in crop production and maintaining reliability even in adverse climatic conditions. It provides multiple benefits over traditional farming techniques, such as less use of water, the lesser need for agrochemicals, and low dependence on agricultural labors. Vertical farming makes use of metal reflectors and artificial lighting to maximize natural sunlight.

Genetically modified organisms and environmental and health effects of pesticides and other non-natural substances that are used for increasing agricultural production have encouraged consumers to adopt organic foods. According to the Organic Trade Association, the U.S. organic industry sales increased by around 5% in 2019, owing to increased investment in infrastructure and education. As per the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, the handlers and growers of organic products need to comply with the regulations.

Artificial lighting helps in extending the hours of natural daylight, which further increases the health, growth rate, and yield of the plants. Artificial lighting such as high-pressure sodium lighting and LED lighting can extend the availability of crops (throughout a season). LED lighting systems produce a dual-band color spectrum and generate low heat. They are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

The hydroponic system is a method of growing plants without soil. A hydroponic system eliminates the need for pesticides and artificial ripening agents and helps in producing nutritionally-rich vegetables. However, factors such as high initial investment and fewer crop varieties are likely to restrain the market growth.
