Vertical Farming Market Dynamics

Drivers: Growing Demand for Food Across the Globe

The progress of the vertical farming market is accounted to reasons such as steady population growth, government incentives, restricted accessibility of cultivable land, and the surging demand for good-quality and fresh food. World Health Organization (WHO) and the Population Council report that approximately 55% of the global population resides in urban cities. However, the scarcity of land in urban areas has created a need for alternative solutions to produce fresh and nutritious crops. In response to this challenge, food producers are adopting vertical farming techniques, which enable cultivating crops indoors in multiple layers, within multi-story buildings, on stacked racks, or in warehouse-like structures. This approach utilizes vertical space efficiently and enables higher crop yields in a smaller footprint than traditional farming methods. By utilizing controlled environments and advanced technologies, vertical farming offers the potential to grow a wide range of crops throughout the year, regardless of external climate conditions.

Growing Adoption of Controlled Growing Environment

Vertical farming can be used in the huge-scale production of organic crops. Regulated developing technologies such as hydroponics and aeroponics eliminate the use of chemical pesticides. The increasing adoption of controlled growing environments, including vertical farming, is driven by factors such as urbanization, resource efficiency, consumer demand for sustainable food, technological advancements, and supportive government policies. These growing environments offer the potential to produce food in urban areas, optimize resource usage, provide local and sustainable food options, leverage technology for efficiency, and contribute to food security. As the demand for food continues to rise, the adoption of controlled growing environments is expected to further increase and play a vital role in meeting the challenges of feeding a growing global population. In vertical farming, corps are grown under selected and well-regulated conditions that ensure optimal growth throughout the year. Compared to open-field agriculture, other farming practices such as vertical farm systems offer more crop rotation.

Restraint: Higher Initial Investments & Operational Cost

The high initial investment is the key factor restraining the growth of the market. Vertical farming requires warehouses for cultivation, and the high price of warehouses in an urban area compared to farmland further limits the adoption of vertical farming. In addition, the high cost of active heat systems, installing LEDs, creating a controlled environment, and high maintenance costs further restrain the market growth. The lack of funds for agriculture-related development hinders the growth of the market. Limited funding slows down the pace of research at universities and public institutions. Organizations such as AeroFarms (U.S.), Sundrop Farms (UK), and Gotham Greens (U.S.) are funding vertical farming techniques across Australia, U.S., and UK. The contribution of vertical farms to the global food system is minimal compared to conventional growing methods owing to their high production costs. However, growing technological advancements in lighting systems can minimize production costs in the coming years.
