According to the study undertaken by Astute Analytica the global indoor farming market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period 2022-2030. The global indoor farming market was valued at US$ 26.5 Billion in 2021 and is forecasted to reach US$ 62.0 Billion by 2030.
Indoor farming is the practice of growing plants or crops usually on a large scale, entirely indoors often in a specially controlled environment. The market is experiencing rapid growth, owing to the undeniable benefits of indoor farming such as reduced transportation cost, limited land use, water efficiency, environment-friendly, unaffected by adverse weather conditions, and no chemicals or pesticide usage. Moreover, indoor farming increases the crop yield and reduces the farming impact on the environment by reducing the need for the land space required to grow plants. Also, it reduces water needs by 95%. By using artificial lights, environmental control systems, irrigation, and fertigation systems, all environmental conditions within the enclosed structure may be regulated.
Factor such as the lesser impact of external weather conditions and rising demand for fresh foods with high nutritive valuedrives the growth in the global indoor farming market over the forecast period. The relative humidity is a very important factor, in a greenhouse relative humidity is 50 percent or higher. Traditional agriculture is highly dependent on natural resources and is planted on an open field with natural sunlight and irrigation. Whereas, indoor farming takes place inside and grows in stacked layers. Moreover, with increasing urbanization, there is rising demand for fresh nutritive food as people became more aware of their dietary patterns and lifestyles. However, the initial costs of setting the indoor farming are more compared to the investment required in traditional farming as the cost of urban land is higher than that of farmland. In addition to this, the production of new biopharmaceuticals continues to expand at a rapid pace, thus providing a lucrative growth opportunity in the market.
After the devastating outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the adoption rate of urban indoor farming systems around the world is estimated to rise sharply. Furthermore, urban farming plays a more critical role in the global food system, and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted its importance.
Market Insights
Global Indoor Farming Market Insights by Growing System
